OpenToonz is a two-dimensional animation production application with drawing, timing and compositing tools. It supports workflows built around scanned artwork or digital drawing, including longer scenes that need structured production control.
Structured hand-drawn animation production
Production terminology takes time to learn. Large scenes require organized assets.

Organize drawings into levels and establish timing before adding extensive effects. Test cleanup settings on a small batch of artwork, then inspect the resulting line quality.
Save scene versions at major milestones so changes to timing or compositing can be compared safely. The official project explicitly permits free use for commercial and non-commercial work. Yes. Its production heritage includes scanning and cleanup workflows for animation artwork.
