Core Features
Revolutionary Animation Generation
ToonComposer transforms the way animations are created with cutting-edge AI technology

Sketch-to-Animation
Transform simple sketches into fluid cartoon animations using AI-powered generative post-keyframing. Works with minimal input - just sparse keyframes and colored reference frames.
Sparse Input Support
Excels with minimal input requirements. Requiring as few as a single sketch and colored reference frame, while supporting multiple sketches at any temporal location for precise motion control.
Region-wise Control
Specify blank regions in sketches for the model to generate plausible content based on context or text prompts. Allows input sketches to be spatially sparse, reducing labor requirements.
Unified Workflow
Combines inbetweening and colorization into a single generative process, eliminating separate workflows and reducing error accumulation between traditional animation stages.
