Our Mission
AniLot is dedicated to empowering animation professionals, studios, and enthusiasts with accurate, professional-grade tools that streamline production workflows and improve project planning.
Founded in 2024, AniLot emerged from a simple observation: the animation industry needed better, more accessible tools for calculating costs, planning timelines, and managing technical specifications.
