About flare.design
flare.design is a motion canvas in the browser where AI visuals can be generated, arranged, animated and exported in one place. Images, 4K video, PNGs, long text, reference images and moodboards share one canvas, where you scale, align, nest and arrange them in context. Generation switches between models such as GPT Image, Nano Banana, Seedream, Seedance, Veo and Kling without leaving the canvas, and outputs land in the project.
Layers move with IN and OUT animation presets, and a timeline gives frame-level control over transform and opacity with keyframes. Selected frames export as MP4. For teams there is semantic search over references, generation history and brand assets, pasting designs from Figma as editable layers, shared workspaces with editor, viewer and admin roles, and Recipes that save a workflow for rerunning with new inputs. An MCP app lets an agent in ChatGPT or Codex open the same project and return edits to the right place on the canvas. The site has pricing, docs, a blog and a changelog.
