Animate AI — AI Video Generator Online
Upload an image or write a scene prompt. Browse previews free. Generation requires purchased credits or an existing account balance.
An AI animation generator built for fast motion tests
Animate AI is built for fast motion tests: upload a still frame or describe a scene, get a short animation draft back, and only then decide what deserves a final edit.
Image to Video AI
Upload a still image and turn it into motion without rebuilding the scene from scratch.
Text to Animation
Write a scene prompt when you need a new animated concept, camera move, or character action.
Motion Direction
Control camera intent, subject movement, pacing, and scene feel before final editing.
Browser Prep Tools
Compress, resize, crop, convert, or trim source media locally before or after hosted generation.
Consistent Drafts
Keep the source frame, subject cues, and prompt direction easier to compare across iterations.
How to use Animate AI
Create your first AI animation in four clear steps, from prompt or still image to a short video draft.
1
Start with an image or prompt
Upload a first frame, product photo, portrait, sketch, or write the motion scene you want Animate AI to create.
2
Choose the motion path
Use image-to-video when you have a still, text-to-video when you have an idea, or reference-to-video when motion guidance matters.
3
Generate the animation
Run a short clip, review subject motion, camera movement, timing, and prompt fit before spending credits on longer work.
4
Download or refine
Keep the best clip for social posts, ads, storyboard review, product demos, or a second pass with tighter direction.
