About

AnimeEffects is a free and open-source 2D keyframe animation tool originating from Japan, designed for creating animations based on the deformation of polygon meshes. It offers a comprehensive suite of features including animation rigging, support for layers, automated tweening, keyframe animation, and bone-based animation, and is capable of working offline across Mac, Windows, and Linux platforms. While specific revenue figures, leadership, founding history, and employee count are not publicly detailed due to its open-source nature, AnimeEffects positions itself as an accessible alternative in the animation software market, competing with tools like Synfig Studio, Veadotube mini, enve, Trangram, Inochi Creator, and Expressive Animator. User feedback indicates both appreciation for its capabilities and challenges with ease of use and encoder detection, highlighting its unique approach to animation creation.
