Frame animation

Frame animation

Add and arrange frames on the timeline, with onion skinning for reference. Tags divide animations into sections, while linked cels share an image across frames.

Where to start

  • Add frames on the timeline and draw or modify each frame.
  • Enable View → Show Onion Skin to reference nearby frames. Frame → Tags names sections of an animation.
  • Use Frame → Duplicate Linked Cel(s) to share an image across frames, or Frame → Reverse Frames to reverse their order.

Using and saving

Use File → Export → Export As... for GIF, APNG or WebP animation. You can also export a sprite sheet to arrange frames into one image.
