Welcome to Flare

Flare is an open-source successor to Adobe Animate/Flash, forked from OpenToonz. It recaptures the intuitive feel of Adobe tools while being completely free and community-developed.

Features

All capabilities of OpenToonz, including advanced animation tools.
Full support and conversion for .FLA and .SWF file formats via FFmpeg and external decompilers.
Sleek, modern UI with a layout identical to Adobe Animate, including default "Animate" workspace and color theme.
100% open source and free, with easy contribution options.

Installation

Build from source using the platform-specific guides. FFmpeg is required for SWF import features.
