Pivot

Pivot Stickfigure Animator (usually shortened to Pivot) is a freeware application for Windows and Mac that allows users to create stick-figure animations, and save them in the animated GIF (Graphics Interchangeable Format) format used on web pages and, which can also be converted into videos using other software, such as Windows Movie Maker.

Pivot provides a simple, easy to use interface with a few features. It uses fixed length 'sticks' to ensure size consistency during animation, something which is not as simple to recreate in professional animation software such as Blender or Adobe Flash.

Animations created within Pivot are uploaded frequently to the well known video forum, YouTube. There are also websites that allow the sharing of Pivot Project Files (.piv) or Stick Figure Files (.stk) created with Pivot.
