What is Moho?

Moho is a 2D animation application for macOS and Windows that helps artists, animators, and small studios create cartoons, character animation, motion graphics, and cut-out animation projects. It combines drawing tools with animation-focused rigging, so users can build characters, add bones and controls, and animate movement without switching between multiple apps for core work. Moho also supports importing layered artwork such as PSD and SVG files, which fits common illustration-to-animation workflows. Features highlighted by the product include inverse kinematics, physics, mesh distortion, timeline editing, and export options for video and related production pipelines. On Mac, users typically install Moho when they want a dedicated desktop tool for 2D animation rather than a general image editor or video editor.

Key features

  • Draw vector artwork directly in the app for animation-ready scenes and characters
  • Rig characters with bones and controls for cut-out and character animation
  • Animate with timeline tools, keyframes, graph editing, and inverse kinematics
  • Import layered PSD and SVG artwork for illustration-to-animation workflows
  • Use physics, mesh distortion, and shape controls to create more natural motion
  • Export finished animation for video and related production workflows

Safety overview

Status: Safe

Moho is legitimate creative software used for making 2D animation projects. Access to your files, imported artwork, and saved projects is normal for this type of app. If you remove it, the app will stop opening Moho projects until you reinstall it or move those projects into another compatible workflow, so keep your animation files backed up separately.

Recommendation: Keep Moho if you use it for animation, storyboarding, or character-rigging work on your Mac. Remove it only if you no longer need the app, and make sure any project files, custom assets, or exported media are backed up first.
