Pivot Stickfigure Animator (usually shorted to Pivot) is a downloadable free program aimed at creating stick figure animations that was created by Peter Bone. The software can create animations; users move sections of the stick figures, or "sticks", and create a chain of animation frames. Users can optionally set animation size and speed. The animations can be saved as GIFs to be used on webpages or the native PIV format, which are editable in Pivot. Users may also choose to create their own sticks, using a simple interface.
