Charios

Charios is an AI-powered 2D game character animation tool that runs entirely in your browser. It transforms static PNG images into fully rigged and animated characters, so you no longer need complex software installations or heavy desktop pipelines to bring your 2D art to life.

The platform uses auto-layering technology that detects 'alpha islands' to automatically separate body parts, saving you from tedious manual cutouts. An easy rigging system with joint magnets makes binding bones quick and approachable, even if you have little to no animation experience.

To get your characters moving, Charios offers a massive library of humanoid mocap animations you can apply instantly. You can preview deformations in real-time, then play-test your characters directly in the browser using keyboard controls (WASD) to make sure they feel right in motion.

When your character is ready, export your work directly to major game engines like Unity and Godot. Charios is designed to bridge the gap between static 2D art and functional game assets, helping independent developers and artists ship animated characters faster.
