Design & creative
Synfig Studio creates two-dimensional animation from vector and bitmap artwork. Its interpolation tools help animators build movement between key states, making it useful for motion graphics and cutout-style scenes.
Animating reusable artwork with interpolation
Animation concepts require practice. Frame-by-frame drawing may suit another tool better.

Prepare artwork in separate parts so each element can move independently. Set a few meaningful poses, then refine the interpolation instead of adding unnecessary keyframes.
Preview the timing at the delivery frame rate and render short tests before committing to a long sequence. No. Interpolation between animation states is a core part of its workflow. Yes. The official description supports both types of artwork.

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.
Pencil2D is a lightweight application for drawing two-dimensional animation with raster and vector tools. It suits animation practice and short sequences where a clear frame-based workflow is more important than extensive production machinery.
TupiTube Desk is a two-dimensional animation application designed to make drawing and motion accessible to children and teenagers. Its desktop workspace supports creating short animated projects and sharing the resulting work.
Glaxnimate is a vector animation and motion design application for creating compact animated graphics. It supports formats used on websites and interfaces, alongside common animated image outputs for simpler sharing.
