How to Export your Animation

Exporting an animation in Brush Ninja takes a few forms.

Exporting an Animated Gif

Animated Gifs are the reason you visit Brush Ninja. These can be exported by:

  1. Press the Export button in the top menu
  2. Select the Export as Animated Gif option

Exporting a Video

Brush Ninja supports exporting animations with sound effects to video. This is a premium feature, and requires a membership subscription. You can find out more about Brush Ninja Members here.

To export a video:

  1. Press the Export button in the top menu
  2. Select the Export as Video option

Videos will export as WebM files. You can convert WebM files to MP4 using this tool.

Exporting more file types

Brush Ninja supports a variety of export types. You can save gifs, single images, or a zip file with all the frames ready to use. You can find these other formats by clicking Export and then the more + button.

There’s more information about the types of save formats here.

Converting to an MP4 Video file

Brush Ninja does not support saving movie files, but these are needed for certain platforms such as Instagram and SeeSaw.

To address this we have made a “simple” app for converting animated Gifs to movies. You can use it on this very website.
