About OpenToonz

OpenToonz is a full-featured 2D animation creation tool for the desktop. It descends from Toonz Studio Ghibli Version, originally developed in Italy by Digital Video and customized by Studio Ghibli across many years of feature production, so it brings a professional animation pipeline to anyone for free.

You work on a desktop system to draw, ink, color, and composite frames into finished animated sequences. Because the lineage traces back to a studio production tool, it suits both serious animators and people learning traditional 2D techniques.

Published by DWANGO, OpenToonz is released under a Modified BSD license, so it can be used or changed freely for personal or commercial work. Installers are available for Windows, macOS, and Linux.

Key features
