Hi Product Hunt! 👋

Features include:
• 🎨 Frame-by-frame drawing
• 🧅 Onion skinning
• 🗂️ Layers
• ✨ Glow effects
• 🎞️ Timeline-based animation
• 📤 Export to GIF, WebM, and MP4
• 🌐 Works entirely in your browser
Whether you're learning animation, making GIFs, or sketching ideas, FrameAnim is designed to get out of your way so you can focus on creating.
This is an early release, and I'd love your feedback. Let me know what features you'd like to see next or if you run into any issues. Every suggestion helps shape the roadmap.

Report
Does the onion skinning only reference the previous frame, or can you adjust how many frames back and forward it shows while you draw?

@filizmzyd Yes! You can adjust it. Onion skinning isn't limited to just the previous frame—you can choose how many previous and next frames are visible while drawing. You can also control the opacity, so it's easy to find the right balance for your animation workflow.

Finally tried this and the onion skinning actually feels right out of the box, which surprised me. Layering plus timeline in a browser without lag is genuinely useful for quick sketches.

@hayrettinkx3ve Thanks for trying it out! Glad the onion skinning felt right out of the box. We put a lot of work into keeping the timeline and layers responsive in the browser, so it's great to hear it's helping with quick sketches. Thanks for the feedback!
