Callipeg
What it is
Callipeg is a 2D animation application for frame-by-frame work on tablets and desktop computers. It supports pixel-based hand-drawn animation and keyframe animation, with layer parenting, curve editing, tangents, and keyframes for position, scale, rotation, and opacity. Drawing tools include customizable brushes, dedicated eraser brushes, freehand and geometric shapes, pixel and raster drawing, selection, and affine, perspective, and warp transformations. It imports images, videos, image sequences, JSON, XDTS, audio, brushes, palettes, and PSD files. Exports include single images, image sequences, videos, GIFs, JSON, OCA, and XDTS. OCA works with Blender, while XDTS works with CLIP STUDIO PAINT, Toei Digital Exposure Sheet, and OpenToonz. Files are stored locally, with optional cloud backups depending on platform. Auto-save runs every 30 seconds. Callipeg supports Android, iOS, Windows, macOS, and Linux, and lists support up to 4K with no hard limit on layers or sheets.
