紅葉 · momiji, the maple leaf — and a baby’s tiny “maple-leaf hands.”
Draw the keyframes. AI finishes the frames. Animate faster on every device you own.
A 2D animation studio for artists — frame-by-frame drawing, storyboarding and the signature Animation Brush, with optional AI in-betweening, lip sync and effects that build on your drawings.
Works with any drawing tablet — Wacom, XP-Pen, Huion, Apple Pencil, S Pen and more.
Features
Classic hand-drawn animation tools, plus AI helpers that take care of the repetitive parts so you can spend your time on the drawings that matter.
Signature feature
Turn any animation loop into a brush. Flocks of birds, drifting clouds, falling rain, bustling crowds — paint them straight into your scene and every stroke comes alive.
Draw your keyframes and let AI draw the frames in between — in your line style, ready for you to tweak or redraw.
Drop in a voice track and get mouth shapes timed to the dialogue, mapped to your character’s own mouth drawings.
Sparks, smoke, splashes and glows built around your drawings and scene — then adjusted by hand until they feel right.
Start from reusable walk, run and idle cycles, or save your own loops to a personal library you can pull from anytime.
Build pencils, inks, textured paints and erasers that feel exactly how you like them — pressure, tilt and grain included.
Sketch panels, add notes and timing, and turn your boards into an animatic before you commit to the full animation.
A fast, pressure-sensitive canvas with onion skinning, timeline, layers and playback — hand-drawn animation at its core.
Start with ready-made brushes for nature, weather and crowds, then create and share your own.
AI you control
Momiji Frame’s AI works from your own keyframes and drawings — it fills in, you decide. It starts switched off, and you can turn each feature on per project or across the whole app.
Nothing AI runs until you opt in. Turn features on one at a time, per project or app-wide, and off again whenever you like.
Your drawings, projects and voice tracks are never used to train AI models. Your art stays yours.
In-betweens come from your keyframes, lip sync maps to your character’s own mouth drawings, and effects are built for your scene — all as frames you can tweak or redraw.
Drawing, frame-by-frame animation, storyboarding and the Animation Brush all work with AI switched off. On-device AI is included with the Animator license; cloud AI is optional.
The essentials
AI is optional. The drawing and animation tools are the heart of Momiji Frame — built for the way you already work, on the tablet you already own.
Pressure-sensitive drawing with custom pencils, inks, paints and erasers — pressure, tilt and grain included.
Timeline, layers, onion skinning and playback for classic hand-drawn animation.
Save walk cycles and loops to your library, or paint them into a scene with the Animation Brush.
Sketch panels, add notes and timing, and play your boards back before you animate.
Wacom, XP-Pen, Huion, Apple Pencil, S Pen and more — on Windows, Mac, Linux, iPad and Android tablets.
Learn the 12 principles of animation inside the app, then practise them on the same canvas.

Yours to keep
Momiji Frame is built around a one-time license. Subscriptions are there if you want cloud extras — never to hold your drawings hostage.

Everything you draw and animate belongs to you, and it’s never used to train AI models.
