Watch Your Drawings Come Alive: Free AI to Animate Illustrations
Breathe life into your OCs and favorite characters.
Simply upload a static image, and our AI automatically generates smooth, cinematic animation. No complex Live2D skills required. From flowing hair to natural blinking, transform your flat art into moving masterpieces in seconds. No registration required, try it for free.
Video Generation AI Specialized to Animate Illustrations
A magical tool that adds natural motion without ruining the art style or brushwork.
Natural Blinking and Gaze
The soul of a character lies in the eyes. Our AI recognizes pupils to create natural blinking and captivating eye movements. It gives the presence of a living character looking back from the screen.
Wind-blown Hair and Clothes
No physics settings are required. Just type "Wind" in the prompt to add emotional effects, like hair tips and hemlines fluttering in the breeze. A static standing picture turns into a dramatic scene instantly.
Live2D-style 3D Depth
The AI adds simulated 3D depth to flat drawings. We generate motion so the face turns and the chest moves with breathing, creating rich movements just like a Live2D model from only a single image.
Keep Quality, Add Rich Motion
We do not compromise the quality of your precious work. Whether it is thick impasto, anime style, or watercolor, you can add movement while completely maintaining the original touch and texture.
How to Animate Illustrations
No expertise required. Complete your own short anime in 3 steps.
1. Upload Your Illustration
Select the image you want to move. Whether it is a full-body standing picture, a bust-up, or a single picture with a background, our AI handles any composition (Recommended: PNG, JPG).
2. Describe the Motion (Prompt)
Enter the movement you want the AI to perform in the text box. For example, specific instructions like "smile gently," "hair swaying in the wind," or "slow camera zoom" are the key to the perfect result.
3. Save as Video
Preview the generated video, and if you like the outcome, download it in MP4 format. It is ready for use in SNS posts or as material for video editing software.
Creator Use Cases to Animate Illustrations
How illustrators and video creators use AI animation.
For Game Production & TRPGs
Ideal for indie "Visual Novels" and "TRPGs". If you do not have character assets yet, create sprites with Anime Generator first, then bring them to life here for the strongest workflow.
Go Viral on SNS & Shorts
Grab attention on TikTok and Reels. A pro tip is to use AI Image Editor to clean up the composition first. Dynamic motion significantly increases your viral potential.
Materials for MVs & Cover Videos
Struggling with background materials for music videos? Simply use Photo to Anime for backgrounds, then turn them into looping videos for a unified lyric video world.
Why Illustrators Choose Us to Animate Illustrations
Totally Free & No Registration:To support creative activities, all basic functions are provided for free. You do not need a tedious account registration, so you can start creating the moment you have an idea.
AI Model Specialized for 2D:Unlike AI for photorealism, we use a model that understands the specific line touch and painting texture of illustrations. You can generate videos without failures like "face distortion" or "changed coloring".
No Installation Required:There is no need to install heavy software like After Effects or Live2D. You can work directly in your browser, making it possible to create on iPads and tablets.
High-Speed Rendering:Using high-performance cloud GPUs, the process completes in seconds, even on low-spec PCs or smartphones. You can significantly shorten production time.
Commercial Use Available:The rights to the generated videos belong to you. You can freely use the result for YouTube monetization, indie games, or commissioned deliverables.
Fine-Tuning with Prompts:Instead of leaving it all to AI, you can control the movement by inputting "slow blink" or "look up". This allows you to create animations exactly according to your directorial intent.
Infinite Ways to Use Animate Illustrations
YouTube Waiting Screen:Use it for "waiting screens" or "endings" before streaming. Simply loop the video to create a professional screen that keeps viewers engaged.
Moving Wallpaper:Perfect for Wallpaper Engine on PC or live wallpapers on smartphones. Make your favorites move to brilliantly decorate your desktop.
Digital Signage & Exhibitions:At events like Comic Market, use a display to show moving art instead of a poster. It acts as a powerful hook to stop passersby.
Website Hero Image:Turn the top image of your portfolio site or blog into a video. Information density increases compared to static images, improving visitor retention.
Replies & GIFs for Fans:Use as Discord stickers or reply GIFs on social media. Characters that move with emotion create communication beyond text.
Video Ad Materials:Reduce production costs for manga videos and game ads. If you have static materials, you can create high-CTR video ad banners at low cost.
