FlipaClip: Draw 2D Animation: cartoon and character animation maker

FlipaClip: Draw 2D Animation is a 2D animation and cartoon drawing app by Visual Blasters LLC that lets users draw frame by frame, add audio, and export animated videos or GIFs. The app solves the problem of making hand-drawn animation on a phone or tablet by replacing paper flipbooks with a timeline-based editor that includes onion skinning, layered composition, and a full set of drawing tools. Users sketch with brushes, shapes, text, and lasso tools, then refine motion frame by frame, import photos or video for rotoscoping, and sync up to six audio tracks. AI-assisted features such as Magic Cut for slicing images and an AI voice maker for narration round out the workflow, and finished work can be shared as MP4, GIF, or transparent PNG sequences.

Latest changes · 5.0.2

FlipaClip version 5.0.2 brings a more unified workspace where you can view and edit all your drawings, frames, and audio in a single place. Choose between the Classic layout for focused work or the Studio layout for a full timeline, and even draw outside the canvas to keep reference images handy. This update also introduces easier frame stretching and looping, an expanded undo option that covers deleted frames and layers, and lighter project files that take up less space.

This app is for hobbyist animators, cartoonists, students, and content creators who want to produce short 2D animations, flipbooks, stick-figure clips, anime-style drawings, or storyboards directly on a phone or tablet. It also suits teachers and learners exploring animation fundamentals without a desktop-grade tool, as well as YouTubers and social video makers who need quick exports in MP4 or GIF. Because it supports stylus input and rotoscoping, more experienced users can rely on it for rough storyboards or reference-based animation, while the AI voice tool helps add narration without a separate recording setup.

Use the onion skin tool to check spacing and motion between frames before finalizing them. Keep reference drawings outside the canvas so you can trace them without consuming one of your limited free layers, and decide early whether the three free layers are enough for your scene or whether you want to invest in the paid tier.

FlipaClip delivers a capable frame-by-frame animation workflow in a package that remains approachable for newcomers. Its ads, permission requests, and layered free tier are worth weighing, but the core toolset and export options make it a solid choice for mobile 2D animation.
