Animate Solo or Together
Boop is a 2D animation app for Windows: a timeline animators already know, brushes that feel like paper, and a playback window that keeps looping while you draw.
Free for 14 days, then $6.99 a month or $99.99 once for Lifetime, tax included.
Everything a drawing needs to move
Vector and raster, side by side in one timeline. Draw lines you can keep reshaping, paint pixels with soft, textured brushes, and put them together however the shot needs.
Lines you can keep editing
Vector lines and fills that stay editable: erase, join, reshape and boil them.
Paint in pixels too
Raster layers for backgrounds and painted work: soft brushes, smudge, and a bucket that closes small gaps and slips colour under your lines.
Brushes on real paper
Pencil, ink, charcoal, watercolour, gouache, crayon and more! Like drawing on scanned paper grain, with pressure and tilt from your pen.
A timeline animators know
Keyframes and holds, onion skin, loop ranges, folders, and frames you can drag, copy and paste as a block.
Symbols, tweens and a camera
Reusable drawings with timelines of their own, motion tweens with easing, and a camera layer to frame the shot.
Watch it while you work
A playback window that loops on a second screen and shows every change the moment you make it - no stopping to check the timing.
Animate together
Boops: send a code and animate the same drawing with other people, each in their own Boop, over any internet connection. End-to-end encrypted.
Bones and rigs
Cut-out animation with a skeleton: attach drawings to bones, pose by dragging, and let bendy bones curve a limb smoothly.
Hotkeys your way
Every tool and switch has a hotkey, and every one can be changed to the keys your hands know.
Lip sync from a voice
Draw your character's mouths once, choose the voice line, and Boop keys the right mouth on every frame of it.
Export as video, GIF or frames
Export MP4 video with its soundtrack, looping GIFs, single PNGs or a PNG for every frame.
Yours, and offline
No account to sign in to. Boop opens straight to a blank page, and your drawings stay on your computer.
Twelve brushes, one engine
Every brush is built the way painting programs build theirs: marks laid along your line, each one shaped by the pen's pressure and lean at that spot.
- Scanned papers - fine, cold press, canvas, sketchbook and fibre
- Tips from real chalk, charcoal and bristles
- Colour that wanders from mark to mark, and wet edges like watercolour
- Works the same on vector and raster layers
Bones that bend
Draw a skeleton over your character, attach each part to its bone, and pose it by dragging - the drawings follow.
- Bendy bones curve an arm or a leg smoothly instead of kinking at the joint
- Chain IK: drag a hand or a foot and the whole limb follows
- Parts that swap drawings - mouths, hands, whole outfits
- Bring a rigged character in from another Boop file

Questions
What is Boop?
Boop is a labor of love made by a single independent developer for Windows 2D animation.
I have used Flash or Adobe Animate. Will Boop feel familiar?
Yes. The timeline works the same way - F5, F6 and F7 insert frames, keyframes and blank keyframes - with onion skin, symbols, motion tweens, Break apart on Ctrl+B and Convert to symbol on F8. Every hotkey can be changed to the ones your hands already know.
What do I need to run Boop?
Windows 10 or 11, 64-bit. A pen tablet is recommended but a mouse works just fine. For pen pressure, turn on Windows Ink in your tablet's driver settings.
Does Boop need the internet?
No. Boop opens and runs offline, with no account to sign in to. It checks your licence online now and then - never your drawings - and keeps working for up to 30 days offline between checks.
What happens when the trial ends?
Boop becomes view only: your drawings still open, play and export, but can't be edited until you subscribe or buy Lifetime, and enter your licence key. They are ordinary files on your computer either way.
How many computers can I use it on?
Up to 3 at a time on one licence key. To move Boop to a new computer, open the licence button at the top right of Boop on the old one and choose Deactivate this computer. If the old one has died, write to [email protected] for assistance.
What does Lifetime mean?
One payment, and Boop is yours for the lifetime of the product - for as long as Boop is sold and supported - with every update included. It works on up to 3 of your computers and checks its licence online now and then, just as a subscription does.
I subscribe. Can I switch to Lifetime?
Yes. Buy Lifetime, enter its new key in Boop's licence window, then cancel your subscription from your subscription page.
How do I cancel?
Any time, from your subscription page. Boop keeps working until the end of the month you paid for.
Can I get my money back?
Yes - within 14 days of a payment, once a year, on the refund page. It is instant and needs no reason. See refunds.
Windows says Boop is from an "unknown publisher".
Boop is new and made by one person, so Windows has not learned to recognise it yet. Choose More info, then Run anyway.
Is there a Mac version?
Not yet. Boop is Windows only for now.
