Synfig Studio is a two-dimensional animation creation tool that supports both vector and raster graphics, removing the need for frame-by-frame animations and allowing us to work more quickly and efficiently.

Due to the fact that all elements created by the programme are vector-based, the only time we will experience a conversion to pixels is when changing the resolution or size of the images imported directly into the programme, which we can do quite easily.

The programme supports a variety of layer types, including geometric, gradient, filter, and transform. We can manipulate them all through the program’s interface, which, yes, will require some experience to fully utilise all of its capabilities.

Synfig Studio is a very comprehensive application that, fortunately, comes with a comprehensive online manual available from the author’s website. With a little patience, it enables any user to create their own animations and creations.
