“Animaker : Driving Engagement with easy, visual content”

3.0
Jun 3, 2025
My overall experience with Animaker has been very positive. AS an HR professional, that too in an Edtech company, I was initially looking for a tool that could help me in creating engaging onboarding and internal communication materials. Animaker is versatile in this.We've used it for everything from employee training modules, recruitment videos and even personalized messages for team collaboration. It is very easy to use, it doesn't require a design background, which makes it accessible for other locations and other departments. While there are minor limitations like its lag and a need for more specialized templates, its overall set and features are impressive and can become a part of HR toolkit and has supported better engagement and communication across the organization.

Like

What I like most about this product is its ease of use and versatility, especially designed for non-designers. Its drag and drop interface, customizable templates and wide library of characters makes it easy to use and provides simple, professional quality videos without needing prior animation experience. As an HR professional in an organization,Animater has significantly improved how we deliver onboarding,training,internal communciation,employee engagement content. It helps us to present information in an engaging and visual way. Which is very helpful for a hybrid work environment. For an organization, especially in the edtech sector, Animater can help in creating scalable learning content such as explainer videos and learning modules. It also supports multilingual content creation, helping us reach diverse audiences more effectively. Overall it's a budget friendly, time saving tool that values the HR and other departments of the organization.

Like

Variety of Videos that can be made. The samples or ideas that are available to help you get started. The pricing is minimal and doesn't seem too expensive to utilize.

Dislike

some limitations on what you can do

Dislike

What I dislike most about Animaker : 1.Limited Niche Templates : There are no role specific or industry specific templates, which sometimes require more manual customization. 2. Performance Issues : The platform can lag or slow down while editing lengthy or complex videos, especially on older or low spec devices. 3.Customer Support: The support team is not super active and their response time is a bit slow which can impact quick problem resolution during critical projects.

Dislike

Honestly, there isn't a lot to dislike about the website. Of course, everyone wants to use it for free, which is the only dislike I could find.
