# Pinup Popper Media Creator A free, browser-based tool to create wheel art, animated wheels, 3D cube animations, wheelbars, spinning wheel animations and animated full-screen media (loading / attract screens) for Pinup Popper / virtual pinball frontends. Runs entirely offline in your browser — nothing is uploaded, no install needed. Just open the HTML file. **Seven tools in one:** 🖼️ **PNG Tab** — Design static wheel images with frame rings, motifs, pop-out effects, curved/straight text overlays, glow, scaling and masking. The background motif is freely positionable — drag and scale it under the fixed circular window to frame the image exactly how you want. Shows the exact file size before you save. 🎞️ **APNG Tab** — Build animated wheels. Add animated layers (GIF/MP4), per-layer speed and boomerang, plus ready-made animation presets (spin, pulse, glitch, hue-shift and more). Animated layers can be masked to the wheel circle, so portrait clips stay neatly inside the wheel instead of poking out. 🧊 **Cube Tab** — Create a rotating 3D cube. Put text, images, GIFs or MP4s on each of the 6 faces with Fill / Fit / Stretch options, set a custom rotation sequence, adjust speed/hold/easing, choose edge color & thickness, metallic/gloss finish, and pick from multiple presets. 🟦 **Cubebar Tab and Wheelbar Tab** — Design Pinup Popper cubebars. Choose a T-Bar (straight) or T-Arc (curved) shape, set the fill color, and add an upper and a lower image — each freely positionable with scale, opacity and rotation. Add straight or curved text labels (curved text bends along the arc) with engrave / emboss / glow effects. Exports a transparent 32-bit PNG at 1080×2160 — exactly what Popper's wheelbar accepts. 🎡 **SpinWheel Tab** — Animate the base wheel as a spinning coin or medal. Compose each side (front/back) from multiple image layers (GIF/MP4 supported, with per-layer opacity, frame range and boomerang ping-pong) and multiple text layers (curved or straight, engrave/emboss effects). Layers can sit inside the chrome ring or on top of it. Adjust spin tempo, hold time per side, axis and direction. Export as animated APNG or GIF — transparency preserved in both. ✂️ **Cutout Tab** — Cut a subject out of an image and remove its background to a transparent PNG — handy for prepping motifs, logos or character art for the other tabs. Erase areas by clicking with the Magic Wand or Chroma Key (adjustable tolerance), or draw a selection with Lasso / Polygon / Rectangle / Ellipse and choose to keep or remove what's inside. Fine-tune with an eraser brush, feathered/soft edges and edge smoothing; restore, pan and zoom as you work. Optionally trims empty borders on export. Saves a transparent PNG. 🖥️ **Screen Creator Tab** — Build animated full-screen media for any Pinup Popper display — loading screens, attract videos, backglass / DMD / topper graphics. Layer a background freely: a base color or gradient, a still image, an MP4 video and one of several animated presets (starfield, aurora, synthwave grid, rain, bokeh, rings, glitch and more) — all combinable. On top, add text, image and video layers, each freely positioned, scaled, rotated and individually animated (fade, slide, zoom, pulse, float, spin…). Edit straight on the canvas — drag to move, corner handles to scale, top handle to rotate, tap to select. Add a progress bar and a spinner (each positionable in X/Y and rotatable in 90° steps), plus scanline / vignette / glow / grain overlays and an audio track. Pick any output resolution (HD / 2K / 4K or custom), rotate the whole output 90° for portrait/rotated displays, key out a green screen on image/video layers (chroma key), and save / load your setups with full undo / redo. Exports an MP4 with audio. **Export & convert:** - Save wheels, cubes and SpinWheels as APNG (full quality) or GIF (with dithering for smooth gradients) - All exports are transparent at original dimensions - Tap "Calculate exact size" to see the real file size for both formats before exporting - Built-in converter: load any existing APNG or GIF and turn it into the other format — shows both output sizes first - Screen Creator exports an MP4 (with audio) at your chosen resolution

I think I got them all out 😊) See the video from The Way of the Wrench (who inspired me to do this on my cabinet) for a tutorial on how to add to Popper https://youtu.be/RZTwHQNNqDc?si=l4nS24MQaMU9WAKP Pinball Flyers-Over 1900 pinball flyers for use in your front end. I created hundreds for tables that do not exist in real life and many that there were no pinball flyers available. I will continue to add to this as new tables are released. Add these to your front end just like the instruction cards. There is a sub folder called Popper - No Stretch will has non standard size flyers so they will not be stretched when shown in your Popper front end. A big thank you to the original table authors, artists, and others who allowed me to use their artwork. Big thank you to vogliadicane, IvanTBA, HiRez00, Cocothetrain, hauntfreaks, godisnothere, scutters, STAT, Rajo Joey, and Nick D for their work.
