TigerCreate allows you to create interactive projects that can be exported for web browsers (HTML5), as stand-alone app for Android, iOS and Amazon, as iBook, Tigerbook or KF8 for Amazon Kindle. As such, it can transform almost any content, such as illustrated stories, sales or image folders, or even annual reports, into digital titles for an amazing interactive experience.
TigerCreate opens up a wide range of design options: easily integrate numerous interactive elements, such as animations in 2D or 3D space, sounds, links to external websites, movies and innovative games like the brand-new MOVIEPUZZLE, into your products; if you like, you can also add educational games or augmented reality features. Even creating multi-language projects is effortless with TigerCreate, as the software supports you every step of the way. Our three different TigerCreate subscription options offer you the flexibility to design titles entirely in accordance to your own ideas and wishes. After that, it’s up to you to decide what platforms you want to distribute your project on.
TigerCreate is a Tiger Media International GmbH product. The Tiger Media International GmbH’s developers boast many years of experience in the field of digital media, and are constantly enhancing and refining TigerCreate, always working closely with the most important platforms to ensure TigerCreate’s compatibility.
All the software features can be found here. Depending on your subscription type, access to certain features may be restricted or denied.

TigerCreate uses the Vuforia Engine for its AR feature. Thus, in order to use the AR feature, you will need to create a Vuforia account. All „target images“ (the images your app is supposed to recognise) will need to be saved to this account, one for each AR scene. You will also have to get a Vuforia License Key.
As long as your project is still in development, the Vuforia License Key is free (Development License Key) and can be created within your Vuforia account. As soon as you want to export and publish your project, you will need a paid license key. This license key can also be purchased from Vuforia website. Find out more about Vuforia License Prices here.
The export formats TigerCreate offers are intended for distribution on the most common platforms (e.g. Google Play Store, Apple App Store). The content owner is responsible for uploading the files on the respective platform.
In order to do so, you will need a regular account or a developer account for each platform (e.g. Apple, Google or Amazon, fees may apply), as well as a distribution agreement with these partners. TigerCreate needs certain certificates, profiles and data from these accounts in order to export each different app format (see manual for more details).
No special certificates or profiles are required when exporting for web browsers or as a TigerBook.
TigerCreate 2.0 only works on Apple computers, and requires at least macOS 10.12.x Sierra.

Sometimes subscriptions don’t immediately register with TigerCreate due to certain ways these subscriptions are processed in the Mac App Store. In these cases TigerCreate still remains in the free trial (“Indie”) version. Usually this resolves itself after a certain time. If you need a quick solution, this can be fixed as follows: Delete the TigerCreate app from your mac, log in to the Mac App Store with your Apple ID, then download TigerCreate again.
TigerCreate can export your project into the following formats:
Other formats for different platforms are in development.
The size of the app depends on the number and size of the graphics, videos and sounds you use, as well as the number of scenes.
In order to be able to export your project, a certain set of data has to be provided for each export format. This may include data such as certificates and profiles from your Google or Apple developer account or image files such as app icons or loading screens.
For detailed information on this subject, please refer to our user manual and the section 5.1 Testing and Publishing.
You can export your project with TigerCreate any time and as often as you like after you have made changes. For most platforms, updating projects that have already been published is unproblematic. Please contact the respective publishing platform to find out about how and when updates are possible and if any restrictions apply.
TigerCreate will not charge any additional fees for exporting your projects.
However, for publishing your project on certain platforms, costs may be incurred that TigerCreate can’t control. For example, to publish apps in the Apple App Store or the Google Play Store, you will need a respective developer account for which fees apply. Please refer to the respective websites of these companies for more information (Apple and Google).
For the use of TigerCreate’s Augmented Reality (AR) feature, additional costy may apply, too. TigerCreate uses the Vuforia Engine for its AR feature. Thus, in order to use the AR feature, you will need to create a Vuforia account. All „target images“ (the images your app is supposed to recognise) will need to be saved to this account, one for each AR scene. You will also have to get a Vuforia License Key.
