Powtoon is a web-based animation software that allows users to create animated presentations by manipulating pre-created objects, imported images, provided music and user-created voice-overs. Powtoon uses an
Apache Flex engine to generate an XML file that can be played in the Powtoon online viewer, exported to
YouTube or downloaded as an MP4 file. Powtoon provides several styles of animated video creation including whiteboard doodles and animated content. A user can apply pre-built backgrounds, scenes, objects, and characters to their work, or a user can choose to customize their content by creating their own diverse characters (diverse here refers to the age, race, ethnicity, and body size of the desired character) and uploading their own images, videos, or audio files. Powtoon is a software that requires a subscription for use. ==See also==
