Our Face Animation technology uses advanced AI to analyze your portrait and create realistic facial movements. The system intelligently maps facial features and animates them according to your text prompt, generating natural-looking expressions while maintaining the subject's identity and the photo's original quality.
The most effective prompts describe natural facial movements and expressions. Examples include 'smile warmly,' 'look from side to side,' 'blink casually,' or 'nod gently.' Focusing on natural human expressions rather than complex or exaggerated movements yields the most realistic animations.
You can choose from three aspect ratio options: Square (1:1) which works well for most social platforms, Portrait (9:16) which is ideal for stories and TikTok, and Landscape (16:9) which is perfect for YouTube and presentation videos.
All users can create 5-second animations, which is ideal for most expressions and social media uses. Pro subscribers can also access 10-second animations for more complex facial movements or longer-form content.
Standard 720p HD quality is available to all users and provides excellent results for most digital uses. Pro subscribers can also access 1080p Full HD quality for professional applications requiring maximum detail.
For optimal results, use clear, well-lit portraits with the subject facing forward or at a slight angle. The face should be clearly visible without strong shadows, extreme expressions, or significant obstructions like hands covering features. Higher resolution photos will produce better quality animations.
