Animaker

Animaker – Animaker is a web-based animation platform that enables users to create animated videos using a drag-and-drop interface. It’s tailored for those who need studio-like animated content (explainer videos, presentations, infographics) without requiring traditional animation skills.

Animaker provides a vast library of pre-animated characters, scenes, icons, and charts. Users can pick a character and then choose an action for it – for example, a character waving, working on a laptop, or looking surprised – and place it on a scene.

You can add text boxes, speech bubbles, and other assets, then set up the timeline so everything appears at the right moment. The platform simplifies lip-sync for characters as well: if you add a voiceover or use their text-to-speech for dialogue, Animaker will automatically move the character’s mouth in time with the speech. There are various styles available (modern edge, hand-drawn, whiteboard animation, etc.), so users can match the look to their brand or story. With templates categorized by use-case (like a marketing promo or a birthday video), beginners can start quick and just modify content placeholders. Because it’s online, finished videos render on Animaker’s cloud and can be exported to social media or downloaded. In summary, Animaker brings down the barrier to entry for creating animated content. Marketers, educators, and startups use it to produce engaging videos like product explainers or lesson recaps easily. By offering an intuitive interface and plenty of ready-to-use assets (and some AI assistance in things like auto lip-sync), Animaker empowers anyone to turn ideas into cartoon videos without specialized training.
