Rotoscope turns your photo into a traced animation frame, in the classic style of hand drawn animation over live action footage. Flat colour, confident outlines, and clean cel shading give every piece the look of a single frame lifted from an animated film.

You choose the style, from a faithful traditional trace through exaggerated features, a rough unfinished pencil trace, or Doodletown, where buildings lean and the perspective bends. Then set the line work, the colour, the shading, the background, and how much detail is traced.

The camera angle and framing stay true to your original photo while the surface becomes flat drawn animation art. It works on portraits, pets, street scenes, cars, and buildings, and the results suit posters, prints, profile pictures, and social posts.
