Synfig Studio
Open-source 2D Animation Software for Windows, Linux and MacOS
Synfig Studio is a free and open-source 2D animation application for Windows, Linux and macOS, licensed under GNU GPL v3. It is designed for creating animation from vector and bitmap artwork without producing every frame by hand, calculating in-between frames from key positions instead. The project offers stable and development binary builds for the supported operating systems.
Its feature set includes vector tweening, more than 50 layer types covering geometric shapes, gradients, filters, distortions, transformations and fractals, and a bone system for cutout animation using bitmap images or vector artwork. A Skeleton Distortion layer supports complex deformations of bitmap artwork, while parameters can be linked directly or through mathematical expressions to build character puppets and other dynamic structures. Documentation and video training courses are available in several languages.
