What is Cartoon Animator (Reallusion)?

Cartoon Animator is a 2D animation application by Reallusion, a company headquartered in San Jose, California with research and development in Taiwan. It is designed to help artists and content creators turn 2D images into animated characters quickly, using automatic bone rigging, facial motion capture from a webcam, and lip-sync generation from audio tracks. The software also supports 3D parallax scene creation and importing custom artwork from Photoshop and vector files.

Cartoon Animator has traditionally been sold as a one-time perpetual license, and Reallusion introduced additional monthly and annual subscription licensing options for its product line starting in early 2026. A 30-day free trial of the full application is available, along with a library of over 1,700 free bundled characters, motions, and effects.
