Character Animator brings any character, illustration, or portrait to life with AI-generated motion. From dancing animations to subtle portrait movement, it turns still images into shareable video clips without any animation software.
Whether you're working with original artwork, saved personas, or photographs, the tool handles motion generation end to end. You can choose a dance style, transplant motion from a reference video onto a custom character, generate a looping chibi sprite, or add gentle lifelike movement to any still photo.
What you can do
- dance — make a character or person dance in a chosen style: hip-hop, ballet, k-pop, salsa, breakdance, and more
- transfer_motion — apply the movement from any reference video onto a custom character image
- animate_chibi — generate a cute animated chibi character with a looping action cycle
- animate_photo — add subtle, lifelike motion to any still photo — portraits, landscapes, or historical images
Who it's for
Content creators, social media managers, game developers, and illustrators who want to animate characters quickly. Also useful for anyone who wants to create engaging short video clips from existing artwork or personas.
How to use it
- Upload a character image or use a saved persona from your library
- Choose the right skill: dance for a dance animation, transfer_motion to copy motion from a reference video, animate_chibi for a looping sprite, or animate_photo for subtle movement
- Set aspect ratio to 9:16 for vertical social content or 16:9 for widescreen
- Output defaults to 5 seconds — pass duration: 10 if you need a longer clip
