About Pencil2D

Pencil2D is an open-source application for drawing traditional, hand-drawn 2D animation frame by frame. A volunteer community builds and maintains it rather than a company, and its source code is public so anyone can inspect it or contribute.

What Pencil2D offers

  • Frame-by-frame drawing — a lightweight interface that keeps attention on animating rather than on menus.
  • Raster and vector — artists can switch between bitmap and vector work in the same project to sketch, ink and paint.
  • Cross-platform builds — versions for Windows, macOS, Linux and FreeBSD.
  • Open licence — free to download and permitted for commercial as well as personal work.

Who it works with

Animators making cartoon-style work by hand, from personal projects to commercial jobs.

Key facts

  • Development: carried out in the open on GitHub, entirely by volunteers
  • Latest release: version 0.7.2, focused on stability and polish
  • Platforms: Windows, macOS, Linux and FreeBSD
