Toonly

Toonly is a desktop-based animation software designed for creating explainer and cartoon-style videos using a drag-and-drop interface. Users can build scenes by selecting from a library of pre-made characters, props, backgrounds, and text elements, then arranging them on a visual timeline. The tool supports character animations such as walking, talking, and gestures, along with entrance and exit effects to create simple narrative sequences. Users can import voiceovers, music, and sound effects, synchronize them with animations, and export videos in various resolutions suitable for web, social media, and presentations.

Toonly includes templates and scene presets that help non-designers assemble videos quickly without needing animation skills. It supports layering, basic transitions, and customization of character appearances, colors, and poses. Common use cases include explainer videos for products or services, internal training content, educational lessons, onboarding materials, and social media marketing clips. The software operates offline after installation, which can be useful in restricted environments. Toonly is particularly suited for users who need consistent, cartoon-style visuals and straightforward timelines rather than complex motion graphics, making it a practical option for small businesses, educators, and content creators who want to produce animated explainers with minimal technical overhead.
