• Unlimited layers per frame
• Unlimited frames of animation
• Management tools like merge, sort, layer opacity, duplication, layer/selection clearing, and more

• Up to 2048x2048 canvases
• Export PNG, GIF, image sequence, and Atlas (with json/binary info file)
• Import external images as frames or layers
• Use a reference image that sticks around across frames and can scale beyond the canvas size
• Ability to transfer your project file between Android and Windows versions
• And so much more!

Our goal is to create software that we use for our own game development and in doing so, release them to others as well. Being that we use this software for our own games means that it will get updates naturally due to us needing specific features.
