## What it is
Shape Shifter is a web application for creating SVG icon animations that can be exported to Android AnimatedVectorDrawable, standalone SVGs, SVG spritesheets, and CSS keyframe animations. It provides a visual editor for designing path morphing animations targeting Android, iOS, and the web.

## Use cases
- create animated vector icons for Android apps
- export SVG path morph animations as AnimatedVectorDrawable XML
- generate CSS keyframe animations from SVG icons
- design play-pause and hamburger-to-arrow icon transitions
- build SVG spritesheets for web icon animations
- morph one SVG path shape into another visually

## When to choose
- you need AnimatedVectorDrawable icon animations for Android
- you want a visual editor for SVG path morphing
- you need icon animations that work across Android, iOS, and web
- you prefer a GUI over hand-writing animation XML or CSS

## When to avoid
- you need Lottie/After Effects-style complex animations
- you require export formats beyond SVG, CSS, or AnimatedVectorDrawable
- you need a tool with active recent development (last release 2022)
- you want programmatic/CLI-based animation generation
