Animate Character AI FAQ
What is animate character AI?
Animate character AI transforms static images into dynamic videos using text descriptions. You upload a character image and describe the motion you want (like 'smile and wave'). The AI generates a video showing your character performing that motion while preserving their appearance.
What types of images work best for animation?
Clear images with visible characters work best. Use photos or illustrations where the character's face and body are clearly visible. High-resolution images (1024x1024 or larger) produce better animation results. Front-facing or 3/4 angle poses work well.
How do I write good motion prompts?
Be specific and descriptive. Instead of 'move', try 'slowly turn head to the left while smiling'. Include details about speed (slowly, quickly), direction (left, right, forward), and expression (smiling, serious). Start simple and add complexity as you learn what works.
How long does animation take?
Processing time depends on video duration and server load. 5-second videos process faster than 10-second videos. You'll see progress during generation.
Is the character animation AI free?
Yes! Sign up to get free credits. Generate character animations at no cost. No credit card required. Purchase additional credits when you need more for larger projects.
Can I use animated characters commercially?
Yes, paid subscribers can use AI-generated animations for marketing, social media, and commercial content per our Terms of Service. Free tier is for personal and non-commercial use only.
Do animated videos have watermarks?
Free tier videos include a small watermark. Paid plans remove watermarks completely and provide full commercial usage rights.
What video duration options are available?
You can choose between 5-second and 10-second video durations. 5-second videos use fewer credits (15 credits) while 10-second videos cost more (30 credits) but give you longer animations.
Can AI generate audio for my animations?
Yes! There's an option to generate synchronized audio based on the video content. The AI creates ambient sounds or effects that match your animation. This feature uses additional credits.
Are my uploaded images private?
Yes, your privacy is our priority. Uploaded files are processed securely and automatically deleted after generation. We never share or use your content for training without permission.
