# Maxon makes Autograph free for individual creators

By Steven Van · 2026-04-17

The motion graphics and compositing app now includes all core features at no cost, alongside new mobile ZBrush and Cinema 4D releases.

Maxon is bringing back **Autograph**, its motion graphics and compositing app, as a free download with all core features included for individual users. It combines 2D animation, compositing and 3D in one environment, with a native Cloner system for building complex motion graphics and responsive design tools that let designers adapt a project across multiple aspect ratios at once.

The app supports USD, OpenEXR, ACES, OpenColorIO and OpenFX, integrates with Universe and select Red Giant tools, and takes third-party OpenFX plugins starting with RE:Vision Effects, BorisFX and Digital Anarchy, available through their own marketplaces. Maxon is showing it alongside other announcements at its booth (N2741) at [NAB 2026](<https://www.maxon.net/en/article/maxon-announces-free-tools-and-mobile-expansion-of-zbrush-and-cinema-4d>), April 18-22.
