Paint · Vector · Animate — in your browser
Make anything.
Spend almost nothing.
Enkava is a paint, vector, and animation studio that runs right in your browser — brushes and pixels through to bone rigs and a dope sheet. Gentle enough for your first drawing, deep enough for your hundredth animation, and the whole creative suite is free.
One canvas · the whole shelf
Everything a 2D artist juggles apps for — in one place.
No more switching between a painting app, a vector app, and a rigging and animation app. Enkava does all three, and hands the file straight to you.
Paint freely
Pressure-sensitive brushes, textures and smudge across nested layer groups, sixteen blend modes and paintable masks. No grid, no limits.
Or stay crisp
A classic pixel mode with palettes, tidy grids, and pixel-perfect export for sprite work.
Vector that bends
Editable strokes you reshape point by point, with a paint bucket that stays attached — recolour the line and the fill follows it.
Bring it to life
Frames, onion skinning, and in-canvas playback, on a dope sheet where you can drag keys around to fix the timing.
Fits your pipeline
Opens Photoshop, Procreate, Aseprite and SVG with layers intact. Exports sprite sheets, GIF, video — or print-ready PDF at true physical size.
Yours to keep
It all runs on your machine — your art never leaves it. Projects save as plain files you own outright.
Rigging — implemented
Not just frames. A skeleton underneath.
Bind your artwork to bones and pose it, instead of redrawing the same arm eighty times. This is the part most free tools stop short of.
- Bones & inverse kinematics Chain bones and drag a hand — the arm solves itself. Move the hips and a planted foot stays planted. Angle limits, aim-at constraints and springy dynamics come along.
- Meshes that bend the drawing Paint bone weights onto a mesh so the art stretches instead of sliding like paper cut-outs — or drag mesh points directly for squash and ripple, with no rig at all.
- A dope sheet you can actually edit Select, drag, copy and scale keyframes to fix your timing. Set a play range, drop named markers, and cycle a walk so it keeps on walking.
- Depth and sound A multiplane camera where a dolly genuinely reads differently from a zoom, plus an audio track to time the action against.

Built with the people who use it
Your requests are the roadmap.
Enkava grows from what artists actually ask for. There's a Discord to swap work, trade tips, and pitch the features that get built next — no forms, just a conversation.
