News 'INCREDIBLES 3' writer Brad Bird indicates that the sequel will NOT age up the main characters: "People just keep thinking that aging them up is going to make them somehow hipper or cooler... No, it won't."

Sharing I want to make GIF by drawing frame by frame so I developed this website

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I’ve always liked the idea of making GIFs like a flipbook — draw one frame, then the next, then play it back as a loop. Most tools I tried felt either too heavy or too “export from somewhere else,” so I built a simple website for it.

Kuroga: https://kuroga.miraiartapps.com/create/free-canvas

It’s a browser GIF studio where you draw animations frame by frame.

Drawing and preview don’t need an account. If you want, you can sign in and publish to the community feed.

Would love feedback — especially from people who draw animations or pixel GIFs.

Sculpted this new alien, made him bust some interesting moves in Blender, and composed the silly retro soundtrack. (If it's bad... then the alien made it.) Enjoy 👽

Submission Rules

No content theft - Permaban

* Sharing work done by others is absolutely fine, but taking credit for it and passing it off as your own is absolutely not allowed and will result in an instant permaban.
