Why animate your drawings?

Characters come alive

The character you have been sketching finally moves, without learning animation software.

Kids' art, brought to life

A child's drawing that waves back is a gift they will not forget.

Content that stands out

Original animated art performs where stock content gets ignored.

Questions, answered

Do photos of paper drawings work?

Yes. Take a clear, well-lit photo of the drawing and upload it. Scans and digital art work too.

What kind of motion can I ask for?

Waves, blinks, walks, floating, wind, camera moves or anything you can describe in a sentence.

What does it cost?

You can try it from $1, with no subscription. You buy credits and spend them when you generate.

Can I use the animation commercially?

Yes, 100%. Your art, your animation, your rights.

Your drawing is one sentence away from moving.
