FlashFX
Create stunning motion graphics in minutes with FlashFX, the free, lightweight browser tool for creators.
About FlashFX
FlashFX is a browser-based motion graphics and animation editor designed as a web-native alternative to Adobe After Effects. Built over two years with four complete rebuilds, it now offers a two-product suite. FlashFX Animator provides a timeline-based animation editor for motion designers, content creators, and developers, eliminating the need for complex or costly software. Key features include a robust timeline system, scene graph architecture, mask system, blend modes, effects pipeline, and 3D rendering via Three.js. The tool uses a custom .ffx file format for better performance and fidelity, and includes a marketplace for sharing and selling templates. With audio-driven animation and neural network research integration, FlashFX aims to make professional motion graphics accessible to all.
