Pencil2D is a free and open-source drawing application released under the GNU General Public License and built with the Qt framework. It allows users to easily create traditional animations through a user-friendly interface. Originally, the program was known as Pencil but was abandoned in 2009. This led to the development of Pencil2D, which quickly became the standard version.
The main goal of Pencil2D is to assist users in creating cartoon animations using traditional techniques like onion skinning. The program features a five-layer system to manage drawings and imported files on the canvas, along with a timeline for easy manipulation of animation segments. Projects can be saved in the program's native format for future editing or exported quickly. Output options include image sequences in PNG, BMP, JPG, or TIFF formats, as well as video files in AVI, MP4, APNG, or WebM formats, ensuring compatibility with various needs.
Pencil2D simplifies the process of creating animations and offers a wealth of resources, including video tutorials on the official website, to help users master advanced effects.
