Animate in real time. Really.

Use your expressions and movements to bring your characters to life with Character Animator.

Now everyone can get animated.

Whether you’re a content creator or animation lover, you can animate a character that’s an extension of you in the new Starter mode.

Start now. Right now.

Select a puppet, record your audio, add motion and emotion, and you’re ready to export an animated character. Starter mode gets anyone animating in just a few minutes — and it’s free.

Go all-pro with all the features.

When you’re ready to take your animations to the next level, discover all that you can do with Character Animator pro features. Create custom characters, rig them to move just like you do, and livestream while you work to wow audiences.

Get into character.

Your performance can bring a character to life. Using your webcam and microphone, Character Animator revolutionizes live-performance animation with automatic lip sync and face and body tracking.

Bring art to life.

Puppet Maker lets you customize a character. Use built-in puppet templates or start with art from Adobe Illustrator or Photoshop. Then animate with your webcam and the power of Adobe Sensei.

Take control with triggers.

It’s easy to build timesaving triggers, so you can create and save desired movements to keyboard shortcuts. Triggers put you in control when you want your character to change expressions or make a gesture.

CHARACTER ANIMATOR FEATURES

Turn yourself into a cartoon with motion capture.

Start animating with Adobe Character Animator motion capture technology. Create a virtual avatar that walks, talks, and mimics your facial expressions in real time.

Bring characters to life with easy-to-use performance capture technology.

You don’t need the full-body motion capture (mocap) suits used in filmmaking and video games to track movement. Turn your acting and facial expressions into a 2D cartoon or virtual reality character using equipment you already have. Bring a character to life with motion capture software in Character Animator, and customize how that character looks, walks, and talks.
