Made by animators,
for animators.

Benzo Animate exists because animation tools shouldn't cost $30/month, require an account, or run in the cloud. It's a studio in a browser tab.

Principles

Three rules we don't break.

🆓

Free forever

No premium tier, no subscription, no ads, no watermark, no "pro" version. Everything is free.

🔒

Your data stays yours

No accounts. No servers. No tracking. Everything you draw lives in your browser and never leaves your device.

⚡

No compromises on speed

Fast load times, responsive UI, deep undo. A tool should get out of the way and let you draw.

Privacy

What we collect: nothing.

Real talk about how Benzo Animate handles your data.
