App Features

Character Creator Tool: Build original or modify existing cartoon characters with intuitive sliders for facial features, poses, and clothing. This allows users to quickly develop unique personalities through expressive design, such as creating a grumpy cat character for a humorous strip.
Panel Layout System: Arrange multi-panel comics with drag-and-drop functionality that automatically adjusts spacing and aspect ratios. The smart snapping feature maintains visual consistency while enabling creative flow, making storyboarding faster than traditional methods.
Background Library: Access a searchable database of pre-made backgrounds (cityscapes, forests, spacescapes) that can be customized in layers. This solves the tedious background creation process, allowing creators to focus on storytelling and dialogue.
Export Options: Choose from various formats including PNG, web-friendly JPEG, PDF, and GIF animation, with adjustable quality settings. The one-click share feature optimizes files for social media while preserving your artistic vision.
Undo/Redo Timeline: Maintain creative freedom with unlimited history tracking, enabling non-linear editing without fear of mistakes. This flexibility is invaluable when experimenting with different narrative approaches or character expressions.

Frequently Asked Questions
