What Callipeg is
Callipeg is a 2D animation application for frame-by-frame work on tablets and desktop computers. It combines pixel-based hand-drawn animation with keyframe tools for layer parenting, curve editing, tangents, and position, scale, rotation and opacity. Drawing options include customizable brushes, dedicated erasers, freehand and geometric shapes, pixel and raster drawing, selection, and affine, perspective and warp transformations. It imports images, videos, image sequences, JSON, XDTS, audio, brushes, palettes and PSD files. Exports include single images, image sequences, video, GIF, JSON, OCA and XDTS. OCA is compatible with Blender; XDTS is compatible with CLIP STUDIO PAINT, Toei Digital Exposure Sheet and OpenToonz. Files are stored locally, with optional backups through iCloud or another preferred cloud storage service depending on platform. A permanent internet connection is not required, though downloading and updating the app requires internet access. Callipeg autosaves every 30 seconds and lists support up to 4K, with no hard limit on layers or sheets. Listed one-time purchase prices are 5.00 USD for Callipeg mini, 15.00 USD for Callipeg and 30.00 USD for Callipeg Studio. Purchases are tied to platform stores, except a Studio license bought on Steam can be used on Windows and Linux.
