There are two software products named Pencil, that are not related to each other. This article is about the graphical animation software.

1. A 2D graphical animation software that runs on Mac, Windows, Linux and BSD. It has also been ported to the Pandora handheld.[1].
2. A GNU free wireframe tool available both as a Firefox plugin and a standalone application [2].

Pencil uses a unique bitmap/vector drawing interface to produce simple 2D graphics as well as animation.

Pencil is written in C++ and is Qt-based. The application license is GNU General Public License. It started as a simple "pencil test" program by Patrick Corrieri, extended to the current Pencil application mainly by Pascal Naidon.
