A FlipaClip alternative for your computer

FlipaClip is a frame-by-frame drawing app for phones and tablets: draw each frame with onion skin, stack layers, add sound, and export a video or a GIF. There's no official web or Windows version, and the free app has ads and a watermark. smooth.video isn't a drawing app and animates a different way: you place text, images, shapes and drawings, move them at points in time, and it makes the frames in between.

FlipaClip as of September 2026. Plans change, so check theirs before you decide.

When smooth.video fits better

You're on a computer, and your animation is things that move rather than drawings that change: a title, a logo, a sticker, a photo, a character cut into pieces that slide and turn.

When FlipaClip fits better

You want to draw: a character that walks, a flipbook, a rotoscoped clip, frame after frame with a stylus and onion skin. smooth.video has no frame-by-frame drawing.

How it works

Open smooth.video on your computer. Nothing to install.
Draw a shape or import your artwork, and set where it starts and where it goes: smooth.video makes the frames in between.
Export an MP4, a GIF or a transparent WebM, without a watermark.
