Is my project uploaded anywhere?

No. Wick Editor runs entirely in your browser via JavaScript — nothing you create is ever sent to a server, including by this site.

Is this the same as Adobe Flash?

No. Wick Editor is an independent, open-source project inspired by Flash's timeline-and-symbols workflow, rebuilt from scratch for the modern web — it has no connection to Adobe.

Can I make more than static animations?

Yes — Wick Editor supports scripting on objects and frames, so you can build clickable interactive stories and simple games, not just linear animation.

What can I export to?

Wick Editor can export your project as a standalone interactive HTML file, an animated GIF, a video, or individual image frames, depending on what you built.

About Wick Editor — Animation & Game Creator

Wick Editor is a free, open-source tool for creating animations, interactive stories, and simple games — often described as a spiritual successor to Flash. It combines a frame-by-frame animation timeline with a visual canvas and built-in scripting (a simplified API layered over JavaScript), so you can go beyond static animation into clickable, interactive projects. The build here is self-hosted directly from the Wick Editor project's own source and runs entirely client-side: nothing you build is ever uploaded.

How to use

Create shapes and drawings on the canvas using the drawing tools in the toolbar, or import images and audio as assets.
Build your animation frame by frame on the Timeline, organizing artwork into layers and symbols (reusable clips) you can nest and reuse.
Add interactivity by attaching scripts to objects and frames — click, hover, and keyboard events trigger simple actions like jumping to a frame or playing a sound.
Preview your project in real time, then export it as a standalone HTML file, an animated GIF, a video, or a spritesheet.
