Create an AI motion video

Upload a clear portrait and a reference action clip. Animaker recreates that movement on your subject.

Credits remaining—

Generation inputs

One photo and one reference clip make one video and use one credit.

Generation mode

Choose how the reference clip contributes to the result.

Apply the reference movement to the person in your photo and preserve the photo composition.

Three rules decide your result

The photo supplies the face — one person, a face clear and large enough, hands empty
The reference video supplies the motion — one performer, steady camera, 3–10 seconds
When you retry, change one thing at a time

Why AI video generation fails — and how to get better results

Character photo

Face clear and large enough in frame, both hands empty. Holding a phone, bag or anything else badly distorts the motion.

Reference video

One visible subject, steady camera, full or upper body inside the frame. Best first attempt: 3–10 seconds.

Limits: photo JPG/PNG/WebP up to 20 MB · video MP4/MOV up to 50 MB and 15 seconds.

The baby photo dance everyone asks about

Baby photo dance clips are the most-shared format in family group chats. Animaker takes one clear photo of your little one and adds a playful dance routine on top — giggly, bouncy, and endlessly rewatchable. Grandparents get them for birthdays, parents make them for milestones. One photo in, one adorable video out.

What it costs

Your first video is free, and no card is needed to make it.
$3.99 for 5 videos ($0.80 each) after that. One-time payment, no subscription.
No watermark on any video. If a generation fails, the credit comes back automatically.

FAQ

Is it safe to upload baby photos?

Photos are used only to generate your video and are stored privately in your account — they are never published or used to train models. You can delete tasks and their media at any time.

What dance moves work for baby photos?

Short, bouncy routines with big arm movements read as adorable on a baby. Avoid clips with fast spins or complex footwork — gentle and playful wins.

Can I share the video on social media?

Yes — downloaded videos are yours to share anywhere: family chats, Instagram, TikTok, wherever you like.
