Two VideoScribes... one big difference!

Meet VideoScribe Browser and VideoScribe Desktop—two animation tools with a familiar drag-and-drop experience but one key thing to know: they’re completely separate! Projects made in one can’t be opened in the other.

VideoScribe Browser is your creative playground in the cloud! No downloads, no installs—just instant access to your projects anytime, anywhere. Designed for seamless accessibility, automatic updates, and easy content creation, it’s built for the way you work today!

VideoScribe Desktop is a downloadable application for Windows and Mac. While it offers some offline functionality, it still requires the internet for key features (like accessing the media library).
