Frequently asked questions

What file formats can I upload for animation?

We support JPEG, PNG, and WEBP image formats. Maximum file size is 10MB. For best results, use images with dimensions of 1280x720 (landscape) or 720x1280 (portrait), depending on your chosen aspect ratio.

How does the illustration animation work?

Our AI uses Google's state-of-the-art VEO 3 Fast video generation model to analyze your illustration and create smooth, natural animations based on your prompt. The AI understands the elements in your image and brings them to life with fluid motion.

What animation durations are available?

You can generate animations in 4, 6, or 8 second durations. Each second costs credits based on whether you include audio generation. Shorter animations are perfect for social media loops, while longer ones work great for presentations and storytelling.

How does the audio generation work?

When you enable audio generation, the AI creates matching sound effects and ambient audio that complements your animation. This is powered by the same advanced AI model and adds an extra layer of immersion to your animated illustrations.

How much does it cost to animate an illustration?

Animation costs 4 credits per second for video only, or 6 credits per second with AI-generated audio. For example, an 8-second video costs 32 credits without audio or 48 credits with audio.

Can I edit or regenerate my animation?

Yes! After generating an animation, you're taken to an editor where you can adjust your prompt, change duration, aspect ratio, resolution, and audio settings, then regenerate. Each regeneration uses the same credit calculation based on your new settings.

What output format do I get?

Animations are generated in MP4 format at either 720p or 1080p resolution, depending on your selection. This format is widely compatible with all major platforms, social media, and video editing software.

How long does animation generation take?

Animation generation typically takes 1-3 minutes depending on the duration and server load. The AI processes your illustration through multiple stages to ensure smooth, high-quality animation output.

What can I use the animated illustrations for?

You can use animated illustrations for social media content, website hero sections, presentations, marketing materials, NFTs, and much more. All animations come with commercial usage rights for your projects.

Do I need an account to use this feature?

Yes, you need to create an account and have credits to animate illustrations. This is a premium feature that uses advanced AI video generation technology. Sign up to get your first credits and start animating!
