If you're into using this program for graphic design like making infographics or posters, you can utilize the tools i guess? but fair warning that the tools/interface can be VERY restricting. But strangely enough, it does offer a preview button and you can make simple gif animation on their official site.

Instead, you'd have to export your individual frames and import it to any editing software you have to animate it.

If you're thinking of installing this for animating or something close to that, it can feel a tad time consuming since you can't really animate here. It offers layer effects like what you would see in Photoshop but unlike the latter, albeit it does have some cool brushes installed, you can't fully customize the brush or canvas texture here. As far as free drawing software goes, FireAlpaca is user-friendly, as in it has a vv basic tools and functionalities.
