Output options include online video, offline video, and GIF; offline video supports six formats, and full HD is listed. The download is listed for Windows 11, 10, 8, 7, and Vista. The product page marks lively 3D characters as “Coming Soon.” Free is listed, along with Mango WM PRO at $59, paid once. Professional is listed at $99 a month, billed as a one-time payment; Enterprise is $299 a month, also billed as a one-time payment. The maker says passwords are irreversibly encrypted and payment card details are handled by payment processors rather than stored in its database or servers.

PNGTuber Plus is a free desktop app for customizing 2D PNG VTuber avatars, with tools aimed at remaining approachable for beginners. Users can add PNG images or sprite sheets for animated sprites. Sprites can move with sine waves, attach to other sprites, trail behind movement, or bounce and jiggle. Individual sprites can appear or disappear when speaking or blinking, and lip sync is supported. Users can change the background color for transparency or green-screen use in OBS, then save and share avatars. Builds are available for Windows, macOS, and Linux. The developer accepts optional support payments, but the software itself is free. The maker links to a public GitHub repository containing the source code and asks users to report bugs, issues, or suggestions through the itch.io community page. Steam lists Windows 10 minimum requirements of a 64-bit processor and operating system, 4 GB RAM, 2 GB graphics, and 100 MB storage.
