CHANGE THE SHAPE

From one idea
to the next.

Match compatible shapes, adjust alignment and preview the transformation with Morph Studio.

Motion Path and Morph are available for free editing and preview in the VS Code and browser editions. Exporting these Pro effects requires an active license. Windows features are described separately.

FROM COMMAND PALETTE TO FIRST FRAME

Three steps.
Then press Play.

  1. 01

    Open your workspace.

    Install from Marketplace, open a trusted local workspace, then run Smart SVG Animation: Open Editor from the Command Palette.

  2. 02

    Pick a starting point.

    Import SVG or choose Examples. Preview a sample, select Use sample in editor, then adjust layers, effects and timing.

  3. 03

    Save the work. Share the motion.

    Save an editable JSON project. Use Load and press Play to continue. Export opens a native VS Code Save dialog.

TRY THE WHOLE MOVEMENT

Experiment freely.
Export when ready.

All effects can be edited, copied and previewed on Free. Your project stays editable when a license expires. Save/Load JSON is always available.

Free exports SVG/HTML up to five seconds using only Free effects. Pro is needed to export Pro effects, longer timelines, video/GIF, framework or Lottie files. Lottie preview is free; Morph and Motion Path are not supported by the Lottie exporter in this release.

Codecs depend on the VS Code runtime. Remote/virtual filesystem editing and VS Code for the Web are not supported.

OPTIONAL ASSISTANCE / CREATIVE CONTROL STAYS WITH YOU

A helpful extra.
Your eye comes first.

AI is optional.

The visual editor works without AI. Optional AI tools assist with parts of the animation workflow; they are not a complete automated animation service. Results depend on your prompt and artwork, and may not match your expectations. Review and edit the result before using it. Your own provider API key is required, and provider charges may apply separately.

Optimize with intention.

Optimize SVG can produce different results depending on the source artwork, its structure and the operation used. Prepare and edit the artwork first so you can control output quality. Keep a copy, organize layers and groups, remove unwanted hidden objects, and inspect paths, masks, clipping and fonts before and after optimization.

Local cleanup and optional provider-assisted optimization are different operations. When you explicitly use provider tools, submitted prompts and relevant artwork are sent to that provider. Neither operation guarantees a perfect appearance, a smaller file or a ready-to-ship animation.

Keep the original. Compare the result. Preview every important state before export.
