Stop Motion Maker

About Stop Motion Maker

Create stop-motion animations from your webcam or by uploading photos. Capture frames one click at a time (or on a timer), see an onion-skin overlay of the previous frame to help align poses, drag-to-reorder frames in the timeline, delete duplicates, and play back at adjustable FPS (1–30). Export the final animation as MP4, GIF, or a ZIP of PNG frames. Perfect for claymation, LEGO animations, whiteboard storytelling, and time-lapse projects.
