Create Animations Frame by Frame
On the top are frames. You can create your animations frame by frame. Each frame will be played out in a sequence to turn your standalone drawings into an animation. The Play button at the bottom right corner can be used to preview your animation. Once you are done with a frame, simply click another frame from the top bar to start working on another frame. You can also duplicate frames using the Copy Frame option from the right sidebar.
ABCYa gives a plethora of images from their library which you can easily incorporate to create your GIF animations. The images are divided into neat categories to help you find exactly what you’re looking for.

The right sidebar has options for editing the background, copying and duplicating frames, as well as options like Undo, Start New or Loop. Export as GIF button enables saving your animation in GIF format.
During testing we successfully exported our frames as a GIF animation using ABCYa Animate. You can open your saved GIFs using any supported image viewer and share them on platforms online which support GIF images.
