What Stick Nodes is

Stick Nodes is an Android and iOS app for creating stickfigure animations and exporting them as GIFs or videos. Its tools include automatic frame tweening, onion skinning, undo and redo, and camera controls for panning, zooming, and rotating. Users can import images to animate, add textfields, and save, open, or share projects, stickfigures, and movieclips. The app supports pre-3.0 Pivot stickfigure files, and users can import Minecraft skins to animate. The Google Play listing says more than 30,000 stickfigures can be downloaded from the website. Free users can export GIFs; the Pro version adds MP4 export, removes export watermarks, adds sound effects to frames and additional filters, and removes the startup ad. Stick Nodes costs nothing and may show ads. Stick Nodes Pro costs $3.99, paid once. A 2026 update says the free version may show an extra ad when opening or starting projects after a cooldown. The maker was founded in 2014 and is based in Austin, Texas.
