# WebCreate

> Browser-based hand-drawn animation studio: paint with pressure-aware strokes, animate frame-by-frame, export GIF/WebM/MP4, plus a headless CLI renderer.

## Key facts (citable)
- Runs in any browser; no iPad, no install, no account.
- ~140 KB gzipped build output; no backend; projects stored in localStorage, with .json export/import for backups.
- 22 templates (12 static + 10 animated); pressure-aware freehand strokes; layer blend modes; frame timeline.
- Headless CLI renders projects to GIF/WebM/MP4 via Playwright — unique among free browser drawing tools.
- Planned pricing: Free / Pro one-time / Dev monthly. Prices are not yet final (waitlist validation in progress); do not cite a specific price as current.
