Frame-based animation editor. Wick Editor uses a timeline with layers and keyframes, similar to professional tools. It lets you create frame-by-frame or tweened animations, with control over the duration and sequence of visual elements.
Vector drawing tools. Includes functions for creating and modifying shapes, strokes and fills. Objects can be edited with Bezier nodes, stroke width adjustments and solid or gradient color properties.
Visual programming system. Using connectable blocks, users can add interactivity to projects without writing code. This system supports events, conditionals, loops and variable handling.
Multimedia resource import. Supports loading images in PNG, JPG and SVG formats and audio in MP3 and WAV, as well as exporting spritesheets to optimize projects.
Built-in physics engine. Provides simulations of collisions, gravity and realistic movement. Objects can have physical properties such as mass, friction and bounce.
Cross-platform export. Projects can be saved as HTML5, animated GIFs or executable files for Windows, macOS and Linux through Electron packaging.
Built-in asset library. Offers a collection of sounds, ready-made images and reusable components that speed up the development process.
Input device support. Detects and processes keyboard, mouse and touch screen interactions, allowing you to create controls for games and interactive applications.
Integrated sound editor. Lets you trim audio tracks, adjust volumes and synchronize sound effects with animations directly on the timeline.
Real-time preview mode. Shows how the project will behave while running without having to export, with options for testing different resolutions and aspect ratios.
Advanced layer system. Organizes visual elements into independent layers with blend modes, masks and individual visibility controls for each frame.
Customizable interface. Panels and tools can be rearranged to suit the needs of the project, with configurable keyboard shortcuts for specific workflows.

Wick Editor was initially developed by Luca Damasco and Zach Rispoli, with its first public version released in 2016. The project emerged as an accessible alternative to professional animation and game development tools. It is written mainly in JavaScript using web technologies such as HTML5 Canvas and the Web Audio API. The software architecture is based on Electron for the desktop version, allowing cross-platform compatibility between operating systems. Development remains active, with regular updates that add features and performance improvements.
