Gryphon Software Corporation was a software publisher founded in 1991 that specializing in a broad range of graphics-oriented software.[1] The company had two product lines: one focused on graphics for video professionals, graphic designers and hobbyists; and the other focused on children's software with a strong graphic orientation. Its best-known program was Morph.[2][3][4]

One of the first software programs to bring Hollywood special effects to the personal computer, Morph enabled users to transform still images and videos into another.[5][6] Video professionals used Morph in a variety of ads, television commercials, music videos and film productions such as Francis Ford Coppola's Bram Stoker's Dracula, Robin Hood: Men in Tights and Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story.[7][8] Time magazine used the software to illustrate one article and to make two front covers.

In mid-1997, Gryphon Software was acquired by CUC International[9] (later renamed Cendant Software) and its products were sold under the brands Knowledge Adventure and Sierra Home.
