What FlipaClip is
FlipaClip is a frame-by-frame animation app for creating animated projects. Its Classic and Studio layouts offer different timeline views; Studio brings frames, layers and audio together. You can draw beyond the canvas, though only what is within it appears in the finished video. Projects export as MP4, GIF or PNG sequences. Audio support allows up to six separate tracks on Android and eight on iOS. The Free plan costs nothing and includes three layers and ads. FlipaClip Plus offers unlimited layers, audio and video import, watermark and ad removal, PNG image sequence export, and custom canvases up to 1920×1920; its price is shown in the app before monthly or yearly purchase. Plus also includes Magic Cut, which uses AI to separate image elements. Voice maker generates dialogue audio with 15,000 monthly credits and a 150-character limit per input. Projects remain on the device where created and do not sync through sign-in, but can be backed up manually to third-party storage. Creation, editing and rendering are available offline.
