Getting Started
Open Chuzy and start animating in seconds — no account, no install, no friction.
Chuzy runs entirely in your browser. There’s nothing to install and no sign-up wall. Just open the app and start drawing.
Open the App
Navigate to app.chuzy.io in any modern browser (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, or Edge).
The app loads with a blank 1280×720 canvas, three default layers, and the Pen tool selected — ready to go.
Interface Overview
Chuzy has four main areas:
| Area | Location | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Toolbar | Top bar | Tools, colors, stroke width, zoom, export |
| Layer Panel | Left sidebar | Layer list, visibility, locking |
| Canvas | Center | Your drawing surface |
| Timeline | Bottom strip | Frames, keyframes, playback controls |
| Properties Panel | Right sidebar (top) | Project settings, active layer props, onion skin |
| Palette Panel | Right sidebar (bottom) | Color swatches, ACO palette import |
Your First Stroke
- Make sure the Pen tool is active (keyboard shortcut: P).
- Pick a color from the swatches in the toolbar.
