How it works

Every stroke is planned, in the order a person would draw it.

The picture is traced into strokes, the strokes are ordered so nearby parts finish together, and the colour pass follows the subject first. You choose how long each stage runs.

  • Line found from any finished picture — no line art needed
  • Colour laid on top, subject first, then the background
  • Six hands, or none; the hand never changes the drawing

What you control

The drawing is yours to pace, hand and export.

Two stages, one timeline

The line completes before colour begins, so the moment the outline resolves is always on screen. Scrub either stage in the player.

Choose the hand

Six hands with a brush, or none at all. Display only — it never touches the plan.

Set the pace

Two to 120 seconds per stage. Changing a setting makes a new drawing; the old one is kept.

It waits for you

Close the tab mid-drawing; it finishes anyway and sits in your work with every version you applied.

The part people comment on is the line finding itself.

I used to spend a whole evening in After Effects for one thirty-second explainer. Now I upload the illustration, pick a hand, and it is done before the kettle boils.

The line stage is the part people comment on. Watching the outline find itself before the colour lands is exactly the feeling we wanted for product stories.

Export runs in the browser, so nothing leaves the machine until I say so. For client work that mattered more than I expected.

FAQ

Questions before you upload.

One finished picture — PNG, JPEG or WebP, up to 10 MB. It does not need to be line art: the line is worked out from the picture, then colour is laid on top.
About ten to fifteen seconds to plan every stroke on our side. The video itself is made in your browser, at the length you chose — a 28-second video takes a few seconds to save.
Desktop Chrome, Edge and Safari. We check this when you arrive, before you upload anything, so you never find out after the drawing is finished.
Your pictures and drawings stay in your work until you delete them. Cancelling an export never deletes a drawing.
Coming: the drawing service already accepts it; the uploader will next.
