What is FlipKit?

FlipKit is a drawing app to create flipbook animations. The animation is drawn frame-by-frame and can be played back manually by swiping through the filmstrip or by using the play button. The simple and intuitive user interface, combined with multiple examples, allows anyone to create animations within minutes.

Since its release in January 2021, FlipKit was featured by Apple in over 130 countries around the globe and has received overwhelmingly positive ratings from its users.

Searching for inspiration? Start with our examples, which you can use as a starting point for your creations.

Whether you are a beginner or a professional, FlipKit provides you all the tools needed to start animating. The intuitive user interface is also perfect to introduce kids to the world of moving pictures.

Advanced artists can use separate foreground and background layers, a variety of drawing tools, and animation controls.
FlipKit supports input devices like the Apple Pencil, but simple finger drawings are also possible.
