What Celas Studio is
Celas Studio is a 2D animation application for illustrators and animators on Windows and macOS. It combines vector shapes, painted raster cells, bone rigs, a keyframe timeline, graph editing, and a camera in one project. Drawing tools include mesh deformation, vector boolean operations, and infinite pixel layers. The timeline and graph editor provide keyframes, easing intervals, split and trim controls, and per-channel curves. Bone dynamics, wind physics, reusable Actions, and interactive vector weld animation support rigging and secondary motion. PSD and SVG imports keep their layers intact. Exports include still images, video, animated GIF, PNG sequences, sprite sheets, and listed formats such as PNG, JPEG, WebP, BMP, MP4, MOV, and WebM. The Early access plan costs $69.99, paid once, with a lifetime license, full toolset, and free updates through version 2.0. It is sold through Steam and remains in active development.
Who it suits
It suits illustrators and animators who need combined vector, raster, rigging, and timeline tools. Windows users need 64-bit Windows 10 version 1909 or Windows 11; macOS requires version 11 or later on Apple Silicon.
