Get Animating in Minutes with our FREE Loop Animator

Making 2D character animations can be tricky. It takes time to get them looking smooth and natural. Rigging may be hard to learn, and walk cycles are even harder. In traditional animation, you have to draw each frame by hand and that may take a long, long time. It’s slow, and it’s easy to get stuck.

Loop Animator changes that. This is a free intuitive online tool that lets you animate your characters instantly in your browser. No Complex Software. No code. No install.

What is the Loop Animator?

Loop Animator is a free online tool that helps you bring your character artwork to life by creating looping character animations from separate body parts. Upload a character broken into pieces (like head, arms, legs, body), adjust the motion of each part, and instantly preview and export a looping animation — no code or software required.

Perfect for 2D game developers, animators, and digital artists who want quick, customizable animation loops.
