Designstripe Crayon is a Free Web Application that you can easily use to Convert any SVG illustration to an Animated Video using a sketch effect that resembles scribbling.
An SVG (Simple Vector Graphics) file is a standard graphics file format that is used on the Internet for depicting two-dimensional images. Unlike Raster Graphics, SVG illustrations, store images as vectors thats based on mathematical formulae. Hence, they are highly scalable without any loss in clarity or resolution of the image.
The output can be exported as a GIF or Lottie file and used as an animated doodle. Lottie is a new open source animation file format that supports tiny and superior quality animated videos.
No prior experience in using any Graphics Editing Applications is required. Using just a few clicks, you can create incredible animated visuals with little or no experience.
