About Toon Boom Harmony

Harmony, from Toon Boom Animation, is 2D animation software used by studios for television and film. It handles hand-drawn frame-by-frame animation with vector drawing, pressure-sensitive brushes, onion skinning and ink and paint, as well as cut-out character rigging with deformers and controllers, special effects and compositing in one project file. It comes in three editions: Essentials for enthusiasts, Advanced for paperless traditional animation, and Premium for complex rigs and effects. An optional add-on called Ember provides AI-assisted tools such as colouring. It runs on Windows and macOS.

Good for

Animators and small studios producing anime-style or Western 2D series who need both frame-by-frame drawing and rigged cut-out workflows in a studio-standard tool.

Watch out for

Subscription only; the trial is 14 days. The higher editions are priced for professional use, and the Ember AI tools are a separate add-on.
