What Pikimov is
Pikimov is a browser-based editor for video and motion design, with classic, 2D compositing, and 3D compositing editors. It imports images, videos, audio, and 3D models, and keyframes can animate almost all properties. Listed tools include color correction, blur, glitch effects, motion blur, text effects, transitions, background removal, motion tracking, particles, and rotoscoping. Animation can use After Effects JavaScript expressions syntax, and the editor supports automatic captions and exports up to 4K resolution. Pikimov says editing and rendering happen locally, files are not uploaded to a server, and projects are not used for AI training. The web editor is free, requires no sign-up, and has no paywall. It works with Chrome, Edge, and Opera, but currently does not support Firefox or Safari. A standalone offline app for Windows, macOS, and Linux is offered as a reward for Patreon supporters. The maker also offers privately hosted enterprise versions with tailored features, integrations, and security requirements, plus support, maintenance, training, and onboarding. Pikimov was founded in 2024 and is headquartered in Normandy, France.
