Anime video from a portrait photo
A photo of you or someone who agreed to appear comes back drawn — flat cel-shaded colour, clean line art, present from frame one rather than faded in. Your pose, clothes and background are the ones you uploaded.
Anime AI Video Generator Turn a photo into an anime clip
Upload one photo and get a 4-second anime clip — cel-shaded line art and flat colour from the very first frame, with your framing kept. Your first clip is free after you follow us.

Your pet as an anime character
Animals hold up as well as people: this dog is on the same porch, between the same plant pots, in the same afternoon light — drawn instead of photographed.
Why make it here
What the account behind this page gets you, beyond this one tool.
Pay per clip
No subscription to start. Following us earns 20 credits, and a clip here spends 20 of them.
Credits go everywhere
The same balance runs every tool and every model on the account — nothing is ring-fenced to this page.
The full model lineup
Seedance, Kling 3.0 Omni, Grok and Gemini Omni Flash for video; Nano Banana and GPT Image 2 for stills.
New models land here first
Seedance 2.5 is already on the tier menu above the button, at 1080p — no migration, same balance.
How to turn a photo into an anime video
Upload one photo and this anime AI video generator returns a 4-second clip of the same scene redrawn as 2D anime — cel-shaded colour, clean line art, your original framing kept. There is nothing to write and nothing to set. It takes about two minutes. Following us on X and YouTube earns 20 free credits and a clip here costs 20 at list price, so your first one is free, and a failed run refunds itself.
Want an anime picture rather than a clip? See the AI anime guide
Make an anime video in three steps
One photo, one button. The clip keeps your photo's shape, so crop before you upload.
- Step 1
Upload a photo
A clear subject in decent light gives the model the most to redraw. Busy, dark or motion-blurred photos lose detail in the stylisation.
- Step 2
Check the tier
480p and 4 seconds is preselected — what the free credits cover. The line above the button opens the model, resolution and length, and reprices as you pick.
- Step 3
Render and wait ~2 minutes
The clip renders server-side. You can leave the page — it lands in your videos either way, and downloads as an MP4.
Against the old way of getting an anime clip
Before a video model could restyle a photograph, an anime version of your own scene meant commissioning it or drawing it.
| What it takes | Commission or draw it | This page (Recommended) |
|---|---|---|
| Drawing skill needed | ✓ | — |
| Turnaround | Days to weeks | About two minutes |
| Keeps your original framing | Only if you brief it | Automatically |
| Cost of a second version | Another commission | 20 credits |
| First one free | — | ✓ |
Whose photos you may use
Use photos of yourself, or of people who agreed to appear in a clip. Stylising a stranger or a celebrity into a clip they never agreed to is still synthetic media about a real person. Never use photos of minors.
Face compliance runs automatically on every generation, which is why nothing has to be registered first. An automated check is a floor rather than permission: it cannot know whether the person in your photo agreed. That judgement is yours, both for making the clip and for sharing it.
Your photos stay yours
What happens to an upload on this page.
Nothing uploads before sign-in
Picking a file only previews it on your device. Not one byte is stored until you sign in and click generate.
Private, deduplicated storage
Uploads land in your private library, never a public gallery, and re-running the same photo stores nothing new.
Deletable any time
Remove uploads and results from your library whenever you want.

Frequently asked questions
1.Is the AI anime video generator free?
Your first clip is free. Following us on X and YouTube earns 20 credits and one clip at the default 480p, 4-second tier costs 20 at list price. After that each generation is billed per clip — there is no free plan and no trial period, just the credits you were given and then per-generation pricing.
2.Can I turn a photo into an anime video?
Yes, in one step. Upload the photograph and the clip comes back drawn as anime: cel-shaded colour, line art, your original composition. You do not need to convert the photo to an anime picture first.
3.Will it still look like me?
Not in the face. Anime stylisation redraws facial features, so the eyes, nose and jaw become drawn shapes rather than yours. Hair, clothing, pose and setting carry over clearly, which is usually enough for people who know you to recognise the picture.
4.How do I animate an anime image I already have?
Upload it the same way. Given artwork rather than a photograph, the model animates it in its existing style instead of restyling it — the same four seconds, the same single movement.
5.How long can the clip be, and can I get HD?
This page is fixed at 480p and 4 seconds, which is what the free credits cover. The line above the button goes to 720p on Seedance 2.0 Mini, 1080p on Seedance 2.5, and up to 15 seconds either way, pricing the combination before you commit.
6.Can the characters talk?
No. Lipsync runs on a different model priced per second of speech, which is well past the free credits, so it lives with the full video tools. This page animates movement, not dialogue.
7.What is the best AI anime video generator?
It depends on what you are starting from. If you have a photo and want it drawn and moving in one step, this page does that for the price of one generation. If you are starting from a written idea, or you need a specific camera move, multiple shots or dialogue, a page with a fixed instruction cannot help you and the full video models can.
8.My run failed — was I charged?
No. Failed and cancelled runs refund their credits automatically. Trying the same photo again is usually worth one attempt, unless the message says the picture itself was declined by the content filter.
