Brush Ninja vs Purupuru Maker

Brush Ninja is a 2D animation tool for creating animated work and exporting it in several formats. It runs on the web, Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android. The free plan includes core animation tools and does not require an account. Exports include GIF, WebM, PNG, JPG, PDF, a ZIP image sequence, and the.brushninja format. Premium adds the ability to upload and animate users’ own images, premium stickers, sound effects, advert removal, and priority email communication. Premium monthly costs $7 a month, and Premium annual costs $48 a year; both listings say cancellation is possible any time. The free plan is free. Brush Ninja is listed as founded in 2013 and headquartered in the United Kingdom. The listed capabilities focus on 2D animation: 3D modeling, character rigging, motion graphics, and cloud collaboration are all absent. This distinction matters for people choosing between a focused animation tool and software that covers those other production needs.

Purupuru Maker turns selected areas of still images into looping motion for GIFs or browser-made video. Its web editor accepts PNG, JPEG, and WebP files: paint a mask over the area to animate, preview the effect, then export. Motion presets include Jelly, Sway, Bounce, Wave, Pulse, and Quake, with controls for speed, amplitude, damping, and gravity. Batch mode applies one preset and its tuning controls to a group of images. Processing happens in the browser, so the source image, mask, preview, and export are not sent to a Purupuru Maker application server. The site says it keeps no account library copy; closing the tab ends the session unless an export was downloaded. GIFs have no added logo or watermark. MP4 export depends on a compatible browser recorder, while WebM works in many modern browsers. The editor supports phones, mouse, stylus, and finger input, and a Chrome extension can open the studio or send an image URL.
