Flip Clip App for iPhone

Make animated flip-books with Flip Clip

Flip Clip is a simple app for creating short flip-book–style animations. Draw each frame directly in the app, then export the finished sequence as a movie to your device’s Photo Gallery. Its interface focuses on quick, tactile sketching so you can iterate frames rapidly and share your creations.

Drawing features and controls

• Add audio by importing tracks from your media library to accompany your animation.
• Use the "Paint Above Your Finger" option to avoid the finger obscuring fine lines while you draw.
• Choose from multiple brush widths to vary line weight and detail.
• Pick from a wide palette of colors for line work and fills.
• Erase mistakes with the built-in eraser tool for clean corrections.
• Duplicate or copy pages when you want to reuse poses or background elements.
• Reverse unwanted changes with the Undo control.
• Export the finished animation directly to the Photo Gallery for sharing or backup.

Best practices for creating frames

Start with rough key frames to establish the main poses, then add the in-betweens to smooth motion. Work on transparent pages when possible so you can see previous frames as a guide. Use larger strokes for background shapes and switch to finer strokes for detail work. Copy similar pages to save time and edit only the differing parts.

Exporting and sharing

When your flip-book is complete, save it as a movie file and it will appear in your Photo Gallery for easy sharing via messages or social apps. If you added audio, confirm timing in playback before export so sound and motion stay synchronized.

Suggested substitute: Delta Executor

If you’re looking for an alternative, Delta Executor is a free option that emphasizes transparent layers and a straightforward drawing experience. It supports frame-by-frame sketching, transparent pages for onion-skinning, and simple export tools so you can produce and share animated clips just as easily.
