1. Pencil2D is simple enough that you don't need to look through tutorials to figure it out, but it really seems lacking in features. I haven't even gotten around to trying out tupi yet. Some people have also recommended using Blender's grease pencil, but that's going.
2. Apr 17, 2021 Conclusion: The above is the list of best free 2D animation software that anyone can use because these are for both beginners and professionals. If you are aware of other 2d animation software free which we have not mentioned in the list, do share with us using the comment section below, we will be happy to list that as well.
3. Pencil2D is a simple 2D animation, drawing and painting application that lets you create traditional hand-drawn animation using both bitmap and vector graphics.

Pencil2D is a free and open-source2D animation software for Windows, macOS and Unix-like operating systems. It is released under the GNU General Public License and uses the Qt framework. It is used for making cartoons using traditional techniques (tracing drawings, onion skinning etc), managing vector and bitmap drawings.

Pencil2D is a bitmap / vector animation software meant to serve as a CAD software (Computer Assisted Drawing) for traditional animation. It is geared towards ease-of-use and accessibility but it still has a lot of issues or missing features that require improvement. It’s functionality and scope is meant to complement other software as a tool.

It allows saving the animations in its own native file format, as well exporting it as a sequence of images in PNG, JPEG, BMP or TIFF format, and also in a video file in AVI, MP4, WebM, GIF or APNG format.

History[edit]

The original version of the software was called Pencil, created by Patrick Corrieri and Pascal Naidon in 2005,^[4] but was abandoned and discontinued in 2009.The abandonment of the project led to the creation of numerous forks, several of which were eventually merged into that of Matthew Chang, resulting in the project now known as Pencil2D.^[5][6]

The project then continues on the pencil2D.org site. in spring 2019, changes are made to the organization of updates, with the deletion of the CR, not used and more regular updates whose version numbers are even with patches, and more occasionally, odd versions adding features. The goal is to quickly fix bugs as soon as they appear, rather than letting them accumulate, and to offer stability fixes more quickly. It starts with version 0.6.4, released in May 2019. The developers are also setting up a project upload page in order to establish a library of tests for debugging and validity tests.
