What Kinetra2D is
Kinetra2D is a web-based workspace for rigging artwork, animating 2D scenes, and exporting them to PixiJS. You can build bone hierarchies, pose characters, edit meshes, and control attachment vertices. Animation tools include keyframes, easing, playback, clips, and a dedicated timeline. AI animation generation provides motion starting points that can be refined with manual rigging and timeline tools. PixiJS is the only currently supported export engine. A downloadable ZIP can contain skeleton JSON, atlas PNG and JSON files, and sounds for a scene or an entire project. Scenes can be saved and organized in a cloud workspace, with capacity depending on the plan. The Free plan allows three projects per workspace and one scene per project, with community support. Pro costs $12 a month, billed monthly; Team costs $20 a month and requires at least two seats, for 40.00 USD total per month; Studio costs $32 a month. Paid tiers start with a no-charge 14-day trial, without collecting a payment method. The maker advises keeping exported project files because preview functionality may change.
Who it suits
