Rendering in real time. Keep this tab visible.
Characters are rigged: in the editor, give them actions (walk, run, sit, jump, talk, wave) at any playhead time. Combine a walk action with position keyframes to make them stroll across the scene.
FrameForge Studio works best on a larger screen
The editor's canvas, layers, and timeline panels need more room than a phone screen offers. Open this page on a tablet or desktop to create and export your 2D animation.
Tip: press Space to play/pause and K to drop a keyframe at the playhead.

About FrameForge Studio
FrameForge Studio is a free, browser-based 2D animation maker for creating explainer and story videos with rigged, Indian-style characters. Design a cast in the Character Studio โ choosing skin tone, hairstyle, outfit (dhoti, saree, kurta, shirt, or dress), accessories, and hand props โ then bring them to life with built-in actions like walking, running, sitting, jumping, talking, and waving.
Beyond characters, you can add backdrops, speech bubbles, shapes, arrows, and icons, animate any element with drag-to-keyframe controls or one-click presets, and fine-tune timing on a full animation timeline. When your scene is ready, export it directly to video, grab a PNG frame, or save your project as JSON to continue later.
Ideal for marketers, educators, content creators, and storytellers who want animated video without learning complex animation software. All processing happens locally in your browser โ your characters, scenes, and exported videos never leave your device.
