Kerpoof is an online application for children; it’s an image editing application that can be used for children to have great fun online. Kerpoof sparks children’s imagination by allowing them to draw anything that takes their fancy. It’s possible to create stunning pictures, stories, or even animated movies. The interface is very simple and attractive; everything is in 3D which makes using it much easier. Once you have completed your picture or movie you can then save it to your gallery and share with other people. You can then view the other pictures on the site and vote to choose your favorites. Kerpoof makes it really easy to create pictures and movies, creating a picture is just a matter of selecting the background and then dragging objects to the stage. You can link a number of these pictures together to create a story. There are thousands of objects, and you will always be able to find what you’re looking for. Creating movies is also really easy; the movie interface is very clever because it’s so easy to use. It will even teach children a little bit about animation without making them realize that they are in fact learning. There is a library full of different characters, and if you’re willing to pay so much money per month then you can unlock even more characters. Kerpoof was founded in March 2006; it became a huge hit with children and teenagers which lead to The Walt Disney Company acquiring the application in February 2009. This is a fairly unique application, it can be compared to other online image editors however this one isn’t just an image editor but it’s also a platform where you can share them with other people. This is a great way of having fun, creating great artwork and meeting new friends at the same time. The application is designed to be interesting and appealing to children. The design is kept very simple with plenty of animation to keep them interested. There is also the option to vote on the art work so that you can choose work that you like.
