Bring your pixels to life.

A full animation timeline, onion skinning, tweening, and one-click GIF export give you everything you need for frame-by-frame pixel animation in one workspace.

Full animation timeline

Manage frames, layers, and cels in a timeline built for pixel art. Reorder frames by drag-and-drop, duplicate holds, group sections with named tags, and preview your animation at any speed without leaving the editor.

Tween between keyframes

Novaboard's tweening engine interpolates position, opacity, and scale between keyframes automatically. Rough out your animation with keyframes, let tweening do the in-betweens, then refine by hand where it counts.

Export as GIF, sprite sheet, or video

Publish your animation anywhere. Export a looping GIF for the web, a sprite sheet for your game engine, or an MP4/WebM for social media, all from the same file, with full control over scale and frame rate.

Your animation starts with a single frame.

Open Novaboard and start animating, free and in your browser.
