Pencil2D is a free and open-source 2D animation software for Windows, macOS, and Unix-like operating systems. It is released under the GNU General Public License and uses the Qt framework. It is used for making cartoons using traditional techniques (tracing drawings, onion skinning, etc), managing vector and bitmap drawings.

With this animation software, the user can export files in its own native file format, as well exporting it as a sequence of images (PNG, JPEG, BMP, or TIFF) and also in a video file (AVI, MP4, WebM, GIF, or APNG).
