Animate 2D Characters Within Seconds

Warp Studio lets you animate 2D characters quickly by turning static art into smooth motion—faster and easier than traditional animation. Just drop in a PNG, place a few pins, and hit play.

Why Our Tool?

Animate 2D characters quickly with web‑based mesh deformation, instant presets, and flexible exports.

Instant Presets

Generate fluid walking, running and attacking cycles from your PNG sprites automatically. Our presets create key poses and tween the in‑betweens so you can animate 2D characters quickly without drawing every frame.

Smart Mesh Deformation

Drop in an image and our system builds a lightweight mesh over your character. Move pins to bend limbs, while an as‑rigid‑as‑possible solver keeps nearby pixels feeling solid for natural squashes and stretches — no skeletons or weight painting.

Record & Reuse Gestures

Record quick motions on a single pin — figure‑8s, jabs, recoils — then paste them onto any pin in your scene. Scale, offset and reuse micro‑gestures across multiple animations for expressive movement.

Multi‑Image Warping

Animate characters composed of multiple images. Our mesh adapts smoothly when you swap images mid‑animation — perfect for changing outfits or switching between attack poses.

Web‑Based & Lightweight

Work entirely in your browser — nothing to install and no expensive licences. Because it’s web‑based, you can animate during a lunch break on any computer with an internet connection.

Flexible Export Options

Export as PNG sequences, animated WebP, or WebM with alpha backgrounds. These formats drop cleanly into game engines, video editors, and presentation software.

How It Works

From sprite to animation in minutes — no rigging required.

  1. Import your sprite — drag & drop a PNG into the browser or load an image from your computer.
  2. Let the mesh build — the app generates a custom mesh so you can start deforming immediately.
  3. Choose a preset — select a walk, run, attack or interaction cycle; we lay down key poses and tween the motion.
  4. Fine‑tune with pins — add/adjust pins to bend limbs, squash torsos or twist tails. Use Record to capture micro‑gestures and paste them elsewhere.
  5. Export & share — export transparent PNG sequences, animated WebP or WebM, ready for your game, video or presentation.
