Animated stroke order for Chinese characters

Chinese Stroke Order Animations

This is a look-up app to help students look up Chinese stroke orders animations. When you learn to write Chinese, it is really important to learn the correct stroke order for each character. This will help you remember how to write them correctly. It will also help you over time as you learn new characters with the same stroke order but additional parts or radicals. By breaking down the stroke order into steps, you can see where you are going wrong (and where you are going right!)

Enter Chinese text and you'll see all the stroke orders for the characters. Just paste the Chinese characters into the left hand side and then on the right you'll be able to see a step-by-step animation detailing the stroke order for each character. 

When you put the characters in, there is the option of one-by-one(individual) or all at once. If you select display by individual then you can have the characters display one at a time and then stop/start so that you can see more clearly. All at once then the character stroke orders will display all at once at the same time.

You can also choose the speed of the Chinese stroke order and which colors the stroke order appears in and background. If you click on the image you should be able to see a bigger version of it.

Any characters we don't have the stroke order for, it will display as a blue box. If you are entering lots of hanzi at once, then it may take a slight amount of time to load.
