AI Animated Face Make a face photo move

This is the distinction that decides whether the page is useful to you, so it goes first. The clip you get back has the face blinking, a small smile arriving, the head turning slightly, hair settling. What it does not have is speech: no mouth shapes forming words, no lipsync, no audio you supplied.

That is a hard limit rather than a setting. Lipsync runs on a different model priced per second of speech, which puts even a short line far past the credits a new account is given — so rather than offer it here and meter you three seconds in, this page does the thing it can do for free and points you elsewhere for the thing it cannot.

Within expression, the results held up better than we expected at this tier. In our own run the face was unmistakably the same person across all four seconds, with the blink and the smile arriving at a natural pace and the hair moving with the head. What drifts is anything the model has to guess at: a face small in the frame, in profile, or in heavy shadow has less to anchor to and can soften over the four seconds.

The numbers: 4 seconds at 480p, about 560×752 for a portrait crop, H.264 with an audio track, around 2MB, roughly 90 to 110 seconds end to end. It carries a watermark.

Signing up gives you 20 credits and one clip at the default tier costs 20 at list price, so the first one is free — no card, no trial period, no plan to cancel. After that each clip is billed per generation. A free tier is not something we have, and calling the signup credits one would be a lie you would find out about on your second attempt.

What makes that a real free clip rather than a technicality is the refund. Failed and cancelled runs return their credits automatically, so a portrait the model cannot use does not silently consume your one free attempt. We hit this ourselves: the first attempt at the example on this page failed, the credits came straight back, and resubmitting the identical photo worked. Which is worth knowing — when a run fails here, trying again is usually a better first move than hunting for a different photo.

Use photos of yourself, or of people who agreed to appear in a clip. Animating a stranger, a celebrity, or someone who never consented is non-consensual synthetic media — do not use this for that, and in most places it is illegal as well as harmful. Never use photos of minors.

Face compliance runs automatically on every generation, which is why nothing has to be registered first. But an automated check is a floor, not permission: it cannot know whether the person in your photo agreed, and neither can this page. That judgement is yours, both for making the clip and for sharing it.

Your uploads are not a gallery. Nothing is stored until you sign in, generations are private to your account, and the photo you upload is used for that generation rather than added to a public feed.
