2D Animators
Hire a freelance or permanent 2d animator from Creativepool's global creative community. Every profile here is ranked by a weekly composite of portfolio depth, client recommendations, recent activity and editorial standing - so the strongest current 2d animators surface first, not whoever joined earliest.
How to choose
Start from the brief, not the job title. Shortlist three to five 2d animators whose portfolio shows work in your sector and at your level of polish, check they have been active recently, then message them directly or send one structured brief to all of them at once.
Good to know
The scope of a 2d animator varies by individual, so the portfolio is the best guide to fit - look for projects close to your brief in sector, format and ambition rather than relying on the job title alone.
Freelancers suit defined projects, overflow and specialist one-offs; permanent hires suit ongoing work and team continuity. Many 2d animators on Creativepool are open to both - each profile states availability and the type of work they take.
Shortlist on portfolio relevance first, then check recent activity, client recommendations and ratings. Brief two or three candidates with the same outline so you can compare approach, timeline and rate fairly.
By a weekly-refreshed composite of editorial standing, portfolio depth, engagement, client recommendations and recent activity - so active, well-regarded 2d animators appear first.
Create a Creativepool profile, set your role and availability, and upload your strongest work. Listings are free; an active, complete profile with client recommendations ranks higher.
