10 Best Animated Presentation Software You Should Know About

Written by: Orana Velarde

Static presentations have long been the norm, but why settle? Instead, consider creating animated presentations that have vibrant and eye-catching designs. Using animated presentation software will help make your presentations shine and stand out from the crowd.

What is an animated presentation? It’s a presentation that has moving parts inside the slides and creative slide transitions. In some cases, you can even have your animations trigger as you click on the slide.

These effects can make your presentation much more engaging for your audience. Not only that, it gives you, as the presenter, cues to move forward with the information on the slides. Sure, PowerPoint can be animated too, but there are many other, better options for animated presentation software that you should know about.

Ready to create a presentation that impresses your audience? Use our presentation software to create beautiful slide decks with smooth transitions, advanced animation, pre-animated assets and more.

Animated Presentation Software FAQs

An animated presentation software allows users to apply special effects to the transition between slides. Using a tool like Visme will turn your presentations into works of digital art.

The animation options are classy, easy to use and never over the top.

Visme's animated presentation templates  include a staggered animation of elements right out of the box. So, even if you don’t add anything else to your slides, a finished Visme presentation will already be animated and ready to go!

If you don’t like the way this default transition works, you can change it inside the slide controls.

Below are the different animation controls available inside Visme.

Slide Transitions

As I mentioned before, Visme presentations come animated right out of the box .

But there are plenty of other options if you want to change that. Click on the gear icon in one of the slides and you’ll see the option for “slide transitions.”

You can choose between the following:

• Transition delay
• Advance after
• When a video is done playing

The last one only applies if you have added a video to your slide.

The default transition style is “enter from side” but you can also choose from the following:

• Staggered fade
• Enter from bottom
• Enter from top
• Simple fade

All choices can be selected for one slide at a time, or for all slides. This is practical when some slides have media, like video or audio narration.

Pro-tip: Stick to one style or at the most two. If you mix and match too many styles your presentation will look confusing and the magic of animated transitions will be lost. Also, if you add animation to your elements, these have to work together with your slide transitions!

The animation controls in Visme are available for every single element on a slide. To access them, simply click on an element, click Actions and click Animate to open the animations menu.

Next, select if you want the animation as an element enters the stage or as it exits.

Then, set the timing for the animation and then pick the animation style .

You can choose from the styles below:

• Fly from left
• Fly from right
• Fly from top
• Fly from bottom

After you have added at least one animation, you’ll be able to see the animation timeline. Click on the arrow next to the timer that now appears at the bottom of your screen to look at the basic or advanced animation timeline.

Interactivity

To level up your presentations even more, add interactive elements to your slides. Some of the interactivity features that Visme boasts includes:

• External links
• Video embeds
• Slide linking
• Voiceovers activated on click
• Hotspots for pop-ups or hoverovers

To add interactivity to your presentation, click on the element that you want to make interactive, click Actions then click Actions again from the menu that’s appeared. You can choose to link that element to an external web page, a slide or another element.

Animated Illustrations

The last major animation feature that Visme has to offer is our vast library of animated illustrations, graphics and presenting cartoons. Add characters, illustrations, gestures, special effects, avatars and more that help your slides move and catch your audience’s attention.

If you want to know more detailed instructions on how to make presentations with Visme, watch our tutorial video on how to use the various features.

3D Animated Characters

Aside from the animated illustrations and graphics, Visme also offers an easy-to-use character builder you can use to create 3D animated characters .

Add these 3D characters to your presentations to instantly grab attention and boost engagement. In fact, you can also create a custom 3D character to represent your brand. This lets you design hyper-personalized presentations that strengthen your brand identity.

Customize the appearance of your character—from facial hair to skin tone—so it fits your vision. Then, choose an animation style or pose that matches your content (or keep your character static.) You can even save your custom 3D animated characters to use in other projects and presentations.

3D Data Widgets

Finally, transform boring statistics and numbers into visually engaging graphics that represent your data in the most engaging way possible. How? With Visme’s 3D Data Widgets .

Our 3D widgets are created by in-house professionals, which means you won’t find these graphics anywhere else. Show percentages, amounts and comparisons with 3D thermometers, batteries, clocks, stacks of coins and books and more unique graphics.

The best part? They’re all fully customizable. You can change the colors to fit your brand or design, and even rotate the objects in 3D.

Prezi has been the animated presentation software of choice for educators for a long time. The zoom in and zoom out effects are always a delight with students of any age.

Let’s take a look at how animations work on Prezi and their range of customization.

First of all, Prezi uses animation as the way a presentation transitions from slide to slide.

The first slide has all the topics in a layout and the presenter must click on each one to enter a set of slides. When a topic is clicked, the effect is a zoom-in visual that takes the audience on a journey inward. The presenter can then exit that slide and zoom-out to the first overview slide again.

Additionally, all slide elements can be animated to fade in or fade out. Simply click on an element and add an animation. The animations for each element can be reordered easily with a movable tab.

From the animation controls, you can also add a new zoom-in area to any slide, which adds another level of information to the presentation.

Finally, the main overview page can have animation controls depending on what topic has been opened, creating even more animated options.

3 PowerPoint

The most widely used presentation software, PowerPoint, also has lots of animation features.

The options for animation on PowerPoint are quite varied and can turn a boring presentation into a fun experience. But they can also turn any presentation into a big animated mess in no time .

Of course, if you use some restraint, you can create amazing animated presentations with PowerPoint. Let’s take a look at the animation options inside PowerPoint.

First of all, every single element inside each slide can be animated more than once.

PowerPoint offers around a hundred animation options; from regular slide-ins to pinwheels and color fills. When an animation is added to an element, a marker shows up next to it on the slide that shows its position in the animation timeline.

The animation timeline is on the right side and includes lots of customization options.

The timeline is unique for each slide, and the order can be rearranged by dragging the elements up or down on the timeline. Each animation effect can be given an “on click” control and also a timed value.

Slide transitions in PowerPoint also have animation controls.

There are around 20 slide transition options and they can be further customized using the controls in the top bar. You can choose how long the transition lasts and even give it a sound.

Genially has a pretty high standard for animations. When you click on any element in a slide, two tiny buttons pop up. One of them is for adding animations to that particular element.

The animation controls open on the right side of the editor and offers many customization options. What’s unique about this animated presentation software is that the effect can be continuous apart from on-entrance and on-exit. What you can’t do is control animations on a timeline or add a delay.

When it comes to slide transitions, there are around ten style options. Choose for it to be horizontal, vertical or centered. The slide transitions can be selected slide by slide or for all slides at once.

5 Beautiful.ai

Animation controls in Beautiful.ai are available inside each slide. And if you don’t choose anything, the elements in your slides will be slightly animated on their own.

But that's the only thing that makes Beautiful.ai an animated presentation software .

Customizability is limited. If you want to change how the animations work, you can change the speed, timing and order. What you can’t do is choose how or from where the element appears on the slide.

There are some simple slide transitions, but you have no option to change them either.

Keynote is the Apple software version of PowerPoint.

There are plenty of animation options for animating elements on Keynote slides. Like most other animation software , you can animate the entrance and the exit of an element on a slide.

Additionally, you can also add an action animation to happen when you click on the slide.

The options for animation range from standard fades to bumps and light bulb spark effects. All the animation options can be customized for speed and intensity, and can also be given a specific timing.

Keynote also has animated slide transition effects. The controls are in the same place as the element animations, you just have to click on the slide instead of an actual object. There are over 20 transition effects, which can be customized for duration and direction.

There is one particularly special transition effect called Magic Move. This animated transition makes objects, words and characters look like they are moving from one slide to another.

In the Slides animated presentation software, you can animate all the elements in a slide with the usual fades and slides. These can be customized to work on click, on hover or automatically on a timer. The timing controls have duration and delay values that you can edit.

The slide transitions in Slides are a bit more unique than standard animated transitions.

Transitions are separated into regular transition and background transition, and there are six options for each. The background transition effects work only when a slide has a background image or color.

However, the transitions can only be done for the entirety of the presentation, not slide by slide.

Transitions in Slides are automatically applied to the entirety of the presentation, not slide by slide. However, you can override this for specific slides by tweaking the settings for each individual slide.

8 Linearity Move

Linearity Move is the go-to animation software for designers who want to bring their projects to life. Its standout feature, Auto Animate, helps you transform static images or vector files into beautiful animations.

With its easy-to-use drag-and-drop interface, you can quickly build engaging scenes using thousands of customizable characters, templates and backgrounds.

Another cool feature is Vyond’s generative AI tool, Vyond Go, which automates video creation from text prompts to produce high-quality animations in minutes.

Moovly is an intuitive platform for creating animated presentations and videos. Users can combine various media assets, including royalty-free images, videos and sounds, to create beautiful animations.

The software offers a wide range of animation effects, such as fade, fly, wipe, bounce, move, zoom,and rotate, which can be applied to any visual object like images, text or videos. You can also incorporate hand animations and transparent motion graphics to enhance your presentations.

Moovly supports various video formats, and users can create horizontal, square or vertical videos for different platforms. You can also add multiple soundtracks, voiceovers and sound effects to your presentations.

Finally, Moovly's text-to-speech feature converts written text into voice-over, available in over 20 languages, adding another layer of customization to the projects. You can also use the AI subtitle generator to automatically create closed captions for your video presentations.

What are the different animation styles commonly used in presentations?

Presentations often use various animation styles, like 2D, 3D, motion graphics, whiteboard and kinetic typography. 2D animations are flat and simple, while 3D adds depth and realism. Motion graphics combine text, shapes and images, and whiteboard animations mimic hand-drawn illustrations. Kinetic typography uses moving text to convey messages.

What are the types of animated presentations?

Some types of animated presentations include 2D animation videos, 3D animation videos, whiteboard animation videos, motion graphic videos, animated typography videos and stop motion videos.

Which animation is best for presentations?

The best animation style for presentations depends on the content and target audience. However, simple, clean animations that enhance the message without overwhelming the viewer are generally preferred in most situations.

It's important to choose animations that complement your presentation's tone and purpose instead of distracting from the core content.

Can you animate a PowerPoint presentation?

Yes, PowerPoint offers built-in animation tools, effects and transitions that allow users to animate the text, images, shapes, slides and other elements in their presentations.

You can also edit your PowerPoint presentations using a third-party tool like Visme to add even better, more advanced and sleek animations, interactivity and design elements.

What are the 4 types of animation in PowerPoint?

PowerPoint offers four main types of animations: entrance, emphasis, exit and motion paths.

• Entrance animations determine how elements appear on the slide, such as fading in or flying in.
• Emphasis animations draw attention to specific elements, like pulsing or changing color.
• Exit animations define how elements leave the slide.
• Motion paths create custom movement patterns for objects.

What is better than PowerPoint?

There are several alternatives to PowerPoint, but one of the best tools for creating engaging presentations is Visme. The platform offers powerful and easy-to-use tools for creating, editing, animating, presenting, sharing and downloading all kinds of slide decks.

Visme’s presentation software gives you access to thousands of ready-made presentation templates and lets you customize every aspect of the slides, use AI and branding tools, add animated elements and interactivity, embed multimedia and much more.

Do Canva presentations have animations?

Yes, Canva offers a range of animations, transitions and effects to enhance your presentations. Users can apply an animation style to the entire presentation or animate specific elements within slides.

You can also adjust duration and delay settings, and even create your own animation style. Canva also offers several transitions to create a smooth flow between your slides.

Genially in a nutshell

How do I make a presentation interactive and how does Genially work? Find the answers to all of your slide-related questions here!

What’s an interactive presentation?

Interactive slides contain clickable hotspots, links, buttons, and animations that are activated at the touch of a button. Instead of reading or watching passively, your audience can actively interact with the content.  

Genially’s interaction presentation software allows you to combine text, photos, video clips, audio and other content in one deck. It’s a great way to condense more information into fewer slides. 

If you’re a teacher, you can share multiple materials in one single learning resource. Students can create their own projects using digital media and online maps. For business or training, try embedding spreadsheet data, PDFs, and online content directly in your slides. 

An interactive slide deck is more user-friendly than a Microsoft PowerPoint presentation or Google Slides document. That’s because you can break information down into chunks with pop-ups, labels, voiceovers and annotated infographics.  

The other benefit of interactive content is increased engagement. It’s easier to keep your audience’s attention when they’re actively participating. Try Genially’s presentation software and free slideshow maker to see how it’s better than other presentation websites. You won’t go back to standard presentation apps!

How do you make a clickable slide?

The best way to make slides clickable is to use Genially’s free interactive presentation program. Design your slide then apply an interaction. In a couple of clicks, you can add popup windows, hyperlinks, close-up images, games, animations, multimedia and other content. 

Choose from the library of hotspot buttons and icons to show people what to click on. Go to Presenter View to get a preview and see how your content will appear to your audience.

How do I create presentations that look professional?

You’ve got a deadline looming and you’re staring at the screen with a blank presentation. We’ve all been there! Starting a presentation design from scratch is tricky, especially if you’re short on time. 

Genially’s free online presentation maker has over 2000 ready-to-use templates for professional slide presentations, photos slideshows, and more. Each slide design has been created by our team of top graphic designers. No need to worry about fonts, centering images, or designing a matching color scheme. It’s all done for you. 

Start by browsing our layouts and themes for education, business and then customize with your own text and images.

How do I share or download my slides?

Because Genially is a cloud based presentation software, you can simply share the link to your slides. Like other online presentation tools, there are no files to download or store on your computer. Everything is saved online.  

When you publish your slide deck, it gets its own unique url, just like a website. Share the link with others to let them explore the content in their own time. If you’re presenting live, just click the Present button. 

You can also embed your presentation on your website, company wiki, or social media. Genially is compatible with WordPress, Moodle, Google Classroom, and other platforms. If you use an LMS, you can also download your interactive design slides in SCORM format.

For slideshow videos and slideshows with music, share online or download as an MP4 video. Check out our free slideshow templates for ideas.

Can I make a free presentation in Genially?

You bet! Genially is an easy-to-use slide maker, with a free version and paid plans. The free plan allows you to create unlimited slides with interactions and animations. Subscribe to one of our paid plans for more advanced features.

Just select a doodle image. Click and drag it to the canvas, and Doodly will automatically draw the image for you. And that’s it. It couldn’t be any easier.

New Doodly Smart Draw technology ™ allows you use imported images in your whiteboard animations.

Don’t want to use our hundreds of doodle images in your videos? No problem. You can upload your own images and then use our patent-pending, Doodly Smart Draw technology to create point-and-click custom draw paths, allowing you to draw any and all images you upload yourself. The only limit is your imagination.

You’ll be able to choose between tens of different male or female hands, as well as various colors, sizes, and ethnicities to give your doodle video the perfect personalized touch.

Record your own custom voiceover audio directly within Doodly, and easily sync it to your Doodle sketch with the click of a button.

We make the process of adding your voice to your video super simple. Just click the record button, start talking, and Doodly will automatically add your voice to your video. And, of course, if you’d rather upload a professional voiceover, or an audio exported from another program, you can easily do that as well.

We don’t use stock images or photos. All of the doodle images found inside of Doodly have been custom drawn by our professional graphic artist team. You won’t find higher quality doodle sketch images anywhere on the planet. You’ll get 200 total characters and 20 different poses each. Not only that, but you’ll also get 20 different background scenes, and hundreds of props and assets covering every topic and niche you can imagine or easily upload your own images and Doodly will draw them, if you don't like ours.

1000s of custom drawn whiteboard doodle images only found in the Doodly, whiteboard animation software.

Doodly Is The Perfect Choice For …

Youtube marketers

The biggest ranking factors on Youtube are engagement signals such as likes, shares, and time that a user watches a video. Doodle sketch videos are proven to be up to 20x more engaging than a standard video. So by simply adding a short doodle intro, you can expect to see an increase in user engagement and Youtube ranking.

Teaching and training

By adding a visual representation of what you’re teaching, via a doodle sketch video, you’ll find that your presentations will not only be much more engaging, but your viewers will retain more of what you’re teaching because they’re not only listening and reading, but they are also able to learn by watching. By using all 3 modalities at once, the end result is exponentially better for everyone involved.

Facebook Advertising

If you’re looking to create a Facebook ad that will stop someone from scrolling and pay attention to you, a doodle video can do just that. Doodle videos are proven to be an extremely engaging form of video. The reason being that people love to watch other people create. There were entire television shows based on watching someone draw for 30 minutes (i.e. The Joy Of Painting by Bob Ross).

Sales videos (VSLs)

Doodle videos are typically the highest converting video type available, which is why professionals can demand $1000s of dollars for a single doodle video. They work perfectly if you’re selling a digital product such as an online course, an eBook, a software product, or a membership website. Doodle videos are also the perfect choice for explaining and selling eCommerce products on your website (or on Amazon).

Creating fun and inspiring videos

Whether you’re looking to create a video to inspire someone to take an action such as donating to an important cause, or you’re designing a birthday video for a loved one, or you just want to impress your friends with a hand-drawn doodle sketch video (without needing to actually learn how to draw), Doodly is the perfect choice.

And hundreds of additional uses…

There are far too many uses for Doodly to mention here. The only limitation is your imagination. With Doodly, we give you the technology and simplicity needed to take your ideas and turn them into professional, impressive-looking doodle sketches… in whiteboard, blackboard, greenboard, or glassboard videos.

Create The Most Realistic-Looking, Doodle Videos For Any Industry And Niche. Here Are Some Videos Created By Fellow Doodliers (With Zero Tech Or Design Skills)...

Video 1: whiteboard - children are a gift, video 2: glassboard - happy halloween, video 3: blackboard - the doodlies, video 4: glassboard - third eye yoga, video 5: glassboard - art of coloring, video 6: blackboard - email marketing, video 7: whiteboard - charity video, video 8: glassboard - 8 comic storytelling, doodly is more than just a software. it’s also a community of like-minded, creative people, looking to make the world a better, happier place..

When you order Doodly, you’ll also get access to our private Facebook group with over 75,000 active Doodliers who are absolutely thrilled with Doodly.

But don’t just take our word for it. Here’s some of what they have to say (taken straight from the group)

So EASY a 7 year old can use it!

Doodly was created by marketers, for marketers. Doodly was designed over the course of 2 full years to be incredibly intuitive and easy to use. It’s the perfect fit for people like myself who have little, to no design or technical skills.

While we do have lots of tutorial training videos, an active and responsive customer support team, as well as a private Facebook group full of happy Doodliers willing and able to help with any questions you might have… you actually don’t need any of it to create your first doodle video within minutes.

In fact, my 7 year old daughter asks me almost every night before bedtime if she can create a doodle video. I gave her all of 30 seconds of “training” and she’s able to create her own whiteboard doodle videos in just a few minutes! And my daughter isn’t the only child having fun with Doodly. Take a look at the fun these Doodly users' children are having.

Listen to what others are saying about how easy and intuitive the Doodly, whiteboard animation software is...

Simple, Yet SUPER Powerful!

And don’t let the simplicity fool you. Just because it’s simple to create the videos, doesn’t mean the end result looks like it was created by a newbie-friendly product. The videos that Doodly create look even better than what the professionals charging $1000s of dollars for their services, can create.

With Doodly, we’ve taken the power from the hands of the mega rich video agencies and put it directly into the hands of the average business owner, like you and I, looking to take the ideas in our heads and turn them into a reality.

So Go Ahead And Get Your Copy Of Doodly, And Create Your First Whiteboard Animation Video Today!

We have 2 different pricing levels for you to choose from. Click the "Get Doodly" button below to visit our pricing page and then select the level that best fits your needs.

If you are not completely satisfied with your purchase within 30 days of buying Doodly, we will refund 100% of your money, no questions asked. Just email us at [email protected] and every penny will be gladly refunded to you within the first 30 days. Nothing could be more fair than that.

Why cartoons? Won’t it make your brand look childish and immature? The short answer: Nope! Everybody loves cartoons. They transport us to magical places where anything is possible, and they’re fun and engaging. Here are a few more reasons why you should jump on the cartoon video-making bandwagon:

Forget about boundaries

Activate your audience with impactful, on-brand video ads. Create them simply and collaboratively with Biteable.

Build trust with your audience

Biteable is the ultimate cartoon animation maker and gives you access to friendly faces you can use to win the trust of your viewers.

Tackle important subjects

Lastly, because cartoons are otherworldly and often humorous, they can easily soften the blow of touchy topics or make traditionally dull subjects more interesting. When you need to say something controversial (it happens, we get it) or boost the fun factor in your videos, use a cartoon.

How to use an online cartoon creator

Can we agree that cartoon videos rock and may be the perfect solution for your needs? Great, but one question still remains: how do you go about actually  making  cartoon videos that win attention? With Biteable it’s both easy and affordable.

Save time, use a template

Biteable is the perfect cartoon animation maker for busy and/or creatively challenged people. Our library is stuffed to the gills with professionally designed cartoon video templates. All you have to do is select one that catches your eye and make it your own. Most folks are able to do it in about 10 minutes, leaving plenty of free time for noble pursuits like ant farming and LEGO building.

Let your creativity flow

We’ve done the hard work and generated hundreds of cartoon templates for you to use. But that doesn’t mean your inner Picasso can’t come out to play. Customize your cartoon videos with your favorite colors, include your own video clips, and add music to give your masterpiece a bumpin’ soundtrack — either from the royalty-free Biteable media library or your own.

Make engagement a priority

The best cartoon videos engage viewers on a deep level and keep them watching the whole way through. To keep eyeballs glued to your work, remember to keep your videos short and sweet, 15 to 60 seconds is ideal. Also, write your video’s text in a conversational manner. This will make your cartoons more relatable to viewers.

Punctuate like a boss

Punctuation makes video text easier to read and will help you get your point across — use it! Commas, question marks, brackets, the full shebang. And while we’re on the topic, plz refrain from abbreviations, thx. Lol.

Contrasting colors are your friend

Want to make your cartoon video pop? Choose the right color combinations and it will. You know, your blues and yellows, reds and greens, pinks and purples. Not only will proper color contrast make your videos easy on the eyes, but it will also ensure your text is easily readable without squinting. If your viewers have to squint when watching your cartoons, they won’t watch for very long.

Even easier: use Biteable’s auto-branding feature to generate well-balanced color combos in your brand colors. The brand builder fetches your company colors directly from your website and applies them to your entire video with a single click. Choose any brandable template or scene to get started.

FAQ: All things online cartoon generators

How to Make a “Good” Presentation “Great”

• Guy Kawasaki

Remember: Less is more.

A strong presentation is so much more than information pasted onto a series of slides with fancy backgrounds. Whether you’re pitching an idea, reporting market research, or sharing something else, a great presentation can give you a competitive advantage, and be a powerful tool when aiming to persuade, educate, or inspire others. Here are some unique elements that make a presentation stand out.

• Fonts: Sans Serif fonts such as Helvetica or Arial are preferred for their clean lines, which make them easy to digest at various sizes and distances. Limit the number of font styles to two: one for headings and another for body text, to avoid visual confusion or distractions.
• Colors: Colors can evoke emotions and highlight critical points, but their overuse can lead to a cluttered and confusing presentation. A limited palette of two to three main colors, complemented by a simple background, can help you draw attention to key elements without overwhelming the audience.
• Pictures: Pictures can communicate complex ideas quickly and memorably but choosing the right images is key. Images or pictures should be big (perhaps 20-25% of the page), bold, and have a clear purpose that complements the slide’s text.
• Layout: Don’t overcrowd your slides with too much information. When in doubt, adhere to the principle of simplicity, and aim for a clean and uncluttered layout with plenty of white space around text and images. Think phrases and bullets, not sentences.

As an intern or early career professional, chances are that you’ll be tasked with making or giving a presentation in the near future. Whether you’re pitching an idea, reporting market research, or sharing something else, a great presentation can give you a competitive advantage, and be a powerful tool when aiming to persuade, educate, or inspire others.

Tips for making brilliant  Cartoon Animations

Tell a story..

When making a cartoon video, it's all about the story! You don't want just to describe things; you want to grab your audience with an engaging narrative. Think about how you can turn your content into a story that people will love. A storyboard is an excellent tool for this purpose.

Keep it short.

Attention spans dwindle each year. There's no perfect length for a cartoon video, but it should only be as long as needed to get your message across – and not a minute longer.

Incorporate Sound Effects and Music 

Sound effects and music bring depth and immersion to your visuals, making your cartoons even more engaging. Incorporating them will help you create a compelling viewing experience for your audience.

Create Relatable Characters

Your characters should be the heart of your story. Focus on developing relatable and memorable personalities that viewers can connect and identify with.

“Are you debating whether to invest in on-premises video editing software or subscribe to an online visual communication platform? Both can create beautiful, professional-quality videos, but an online video editor has some distinct advantages. Here are five of them.”

“Animated videos are a great way to capture the attention of your audience, but it’s not enough to string together a random collection of text and images. An effective video is cohesive from start to finish and includes engaging graphics that help convey your message. Here’s how to pick the right ones.”

What is the best format for video?

The best video file formats are MP4, which allows for high quality and smaller file sizes. Or, you can skip downloading your video altogether, and instead share directly to any channel your heart desires! Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn, HubSpot, PowerPoint, email, and more.

How to Make a Comic Strip: Comprehensive Guide with Templates

Creating a comic strip is an exciting way to express your creativity, tell engaging stories, and connect with readers. Whether you’re inspired by classics like “Peanuts” or modern hits like “Calvin and Hobbes,” making your own comic strip can be a rewarding experience. In this guide we will look at how to make a comic strip along with handy templates to help you get started.

What is a Comic Strip?

A comic strip is a sequence of drawings that work together to tell a story, often accompanied by text such as dialogue or narration. Each strip consists of a series of panels, with each panel representing a single scene or moment in the story. These stories are usually brief, fitting into just a few panels, and are designed to be both entertaining and visually engaging.

Comic strips are known for their ability to capture readers' attention quickly. The visual format makes them accessible and appealing, while the brevity of each story makes them easy to read in a short amount of time. This format is particularly effective for humor, as the setup and punchline can be delivered swiftly and effectively within the limited space of a few panels. However, comic strips can also explore a wide range of genres, including drama, adventure, fantasy, and social commentary, making them a versatile medium for storytelling.

Basic Elements of a Comic Strip

• Panels : Comic strips are divided into individual panels, each representing a different scene or moment in the story. Panels are typically arranged in a horizontal sequence.
• Characters : The characters in a comic strip are the main focus. They can be human, animal, or even fantastical creatures, each with their own unique personality and design.
• Dialogue and narration : Text is used to convey the characters' dialogue through speech bubbles and the story’s context or additional details through narration boxes.
• Humor and themes : Many comic strips are humorous, using jokes and visual gags to entertain readers. However, they can also explore a wide range of themes, from adventure and drama to social commentary and satire.
• Art style : The art style of comic strips can vary widely, from simple and cartoony to detailed and realistic. The style often reflects the tone and content of the strip.

Brief History of Comic Strips

The origin of comic strips dates back to the early 19th century when European artists used sequential art to narrate stories. Pioneers like Rodolphe Töpffer are credited with creating some of the first comic strips. In the early 20th century, comic strips gained massive popularity with classics like ‘The Katzenjammer Kids’ and ‘Little Nemo’. Over decades, comic strips have evolved, influencing not only popular culture but also becoming educational tools and marketing media.

How to Make a Comic Strip

​ ​Creating a comic strip is a fun and creative process that involves combining storytelling with visual art. Here’s how to make a comic strip from scratch.

Step 1: Plan your comic strip

Brainstorm ideas.

Start by thinking about the story you want to tell. What’s the theme or message? Is it humorous, adventurous, dramatic, or something else? Jot down your ideas and think about how they can fit into a short, sequential format.

Create characters

Develop characters that will appear in your comic strip. Give them distinct personalities, appearances, and backstories. Strong, relatable characters are crucial for engaging your audience.

Outline the plot

Sketch a rough outline of your story. Determine the beginning, middle, and end. Think about how the events will unfold across the panels. Keep the story simple and focused due to the limited space.

Learn more about plot diagrams with our guide Plot Diagrams: What They Are and How to Use Them for Storytelling .

Step 2: Write the script

Dialogue and narration.

Write the dialogue for your characters and any narration that will help tell the story. Keep the text concise and to the point. Remember, the visuals will also convey a lot of information.

Pacing and timing

Ensure your story flows well from one panel to the next. Pacing is crucial in delivering jokes, dramatic moments, or action sequences effectively.

Step 3: Draw your comic strip

Choose your tools.

Decide whether to draw by hand or use digital tools. Traditional drawing materials include pencils, pens, and paper, while you can use a comic strip maker like Createlt to create it digitally. Creately offers various tools for drawing online. Choose from their templates and customize them to fit your story.

Sketch the panels

Start with rough sketches of each panel. Plan the layout, keeping in mind the composition and how each panel will transition to the next.

Creately tip: You can use Creately’s panel layout templates to get started quickly.

Draw the comic strip characters and scenes

Draw your characters and backgrounds in more detail. Focus on consistency in character design and expressions to maintain a cohesive look throughout the strip.

Creately tip: Use Creately’s freehand drawing feature to draw your characters. Or you can import and embed your drawings or use built-in Google image search to browse and add design elements.

Step 4: Ink and color

Go over your pencil sketches with ink to make the lines clean and bold. Inking adds depth and clarity to your drawings.

Add color to your comic strip. Choose a color palette that suits the mood of your story. You can color by hand using markers or colored pencils, or use digital coloring tools.

Creately tip: Creately offers preset color themes for various styles. Select colors and fill your panels to bring your comic to life.

​​5. Add text and speech bubbles

Design speech bubbles.

Draw speech bubbles for your dialogue and caption boxes for narration. Make sure they are placed where they don’t cover important parts of the drawings.

Creately tip: Use Creately’s speech bubble shapes and text tools to add dialogue and narration.

Write the dialogue and narration within the bubbles and boxes. Use clear, legible fonts for handwriting. The text should be easy to read and not overcrowded.

Creately tip: Creately provides a variety of fonts and text placement options to ensure readability.

Step 6: Final touches

Review and edit.

Look over your comic strip for any mistakes or areas that need improvement. Make any necessary adjustments to the drawings, text, or layout.

Finalize your comic strip

Add any final details and make sure that everything looks polished. Check for consistency in the artwork and readability of the text.

Step 7: Share your comic strip

Prepare for sharing.

Format your comic strip for sharing online or in print. Ensure it’s in a suitable resolution and file format for your chosen platform.

Creately tip: Creately offers multiple export options in various formats and resolutions for easy sharing.

Publish or Share

Share your comic strip on social media, your own website, or print it to distribute. Engage with your audience and get feedback to improve your future work.

Creately tip: You can easily use a Creately embed link to embed your comic strip in any site or intranet. You can also share a workspace link with view or edit access and share the comic strip with anyone. Capture feedback easily via contextual comments.

Developing a Comic Strip Storyline

Creating an engaging comic strip starts with a compelling storyline. From brainstorming comic character ideas to plotting and storyboarding, every step is crucial. Let’s explore each aspect in detail to make your comic strip creation process smoother.

Comic character ideas

Your characters are the heart and soul of your comic strip. Begin by brainstorming unique and relatable comic strip characters. Consider their backstory, personality traits, and physical features. Ask yourself questions such as:

• What motivates your characters?
• How do they interact with others?
• What are their strengths and weaknesses?

Plot development techniques

A strong plot is essential for keeping your audience hooked. Your plot should typically have a clear beginning, conflict, climax, and resolution. Here are some plot development techniques:

• Start by laying down the premise. What is the central theme or message you want to convey?
• Introduce the conflict early. It could be an internal struggle in one of the characters or an external challenge they must face.
• Build up to the climax. This is the most exciting part of your story.
• Conclude with a resolution. Ensure that the storyline ties up neatly but leaves room for future developments if needed.

Storyboarding your comic strip

Once you have your plot, visualizing it through a storyboard is the next step. Storyboarding involves sketching out each scene or panel of your comic strip in a sequential manner.

Best Practices for Comic Strip Panel Layout

Panel size and shape.

Remember that when you create a comic strip, choosing the right panel size and shape is very important. Larger panels can be used to show important moments, while smaller panels can be used for quick actions or dialogue. It’s important to find a balance and use a mix of panel sizes to create a good pace and guide the reader through the story.

Whitespace and gutters

The empty spaces around and between panels in your comic strip, known as gutters, are important for making your comic easy to read. They prevent your comic from looking crowded and help your artwork and dialogue stand out. Gutters also help separate different parts of the story and make it clear when the scene changes.

Arrangement of visual elements

Remember to carefully arrange the visual elements in your panels as it can significantly affect how your story is perceived. Make sure that your backgrounds, character positions, and dialogue bubbles are laid out in a way that enhances the storytelling. Place your main characters and action points strategically to keep readers engaged. Creately’s freehand drawing tools and built-in shape and icon libraries can greatly help achieve a polished and visually appealing design.
