About Frameling: 2D Animation Maker
Draw a picture. Tap plus. Draw the next one. Press Play and it moves. Frameling is a focused frame-by-frame animation app with no ads, no account, and no subscription. Open it and start drawing. DRAW, THEN WATCH IT MOVE Every animation starts with one drawing. Add a frame, draw again, and Frameling plays them back in order. A few frames are enough to see motion. TRY THE EDITOR The free editor preview gives you one animation with up to 6 frames and 2 layers. You can draw, use onion skin, adjust brush size and color, and preview playback before deciding whether Frameling fits your workflow. FRAME-BY-FRAME MADE SIMPLE Onion skin shows the frame before in warm pink and the frame after in cool blue, so you can place each new drawing with confidence. Reorder or duplicate frames when timing changes. UNLOCK ONCE Frameling PRO removes the project, frame, and layer limits and unlocks every export format. It is one purchase, not a subscription. EXPORT WITHOUT A WATERMARK PRO exports MP4 video, animated GIF, and PNG frame sequences. Choose 720p, 1080p, or 4K where available, then share through the iOS share sheet. Exported files do not carry a Frameling watermark. NO ADS. NO SUBSCRIPTION. Not one banner. Not one interstitial. Not one weekly charge. The business model is a small editor preview followed by a single optional PRO unlock. WORKS OFFLINE Drawing, playback, project editing, and unlocked export work on-device. Frameling does not need an account and does not upload your drawings to a Frameling server. Use Frameling for cartoons, stick figures, flipbooks, walk cycles, doodle loops, simple sprite frames, storyboards, and short hand-drawn animation. Questions or a bug to report?
