Animate a Face

Photo Face Animation

Photo face animation needs one clear, front-facing photo. Portraits, selfies, scanned old family photos and drawn characters all work when the face is easy to see.

Only upload photos you have the right to use, and ask before you animate a photo of someone else.

Works best

The face in focus and evenly lit
Looking toward the camera
Eyes and mouth uncovered
One face in the picture

Avoid

Blurry or very dark photos
Sunglasses, masks or hands over the face
Group photos with several faces

AI Face Animation from a Single Photo

No video, 3D model or second picture needed: this AI face animator starts from one photo, so the face, the clothes and the background match your picture.

Portrait

He turns from the window to the camera and smiles.

Old family photo

A faded print comes alive with a warm smile.

Drawn character

The boy turns toward the viewer and smiles, and the drawing keeps its style.

How Face Animation Works

Face animation turns a still picture of a face into a moving one: the same face smiles, blinks or turns its head while everything else stays as it was. Your photo becomes the first frame of the video. An AI video model then generates the frames that follow, guided by a short prompt that describes the movement, such as a slow smile or a glance toward the camera.

The result is an MP4 file. A short clip fits one expression; a longer one lets the face settle and keep moving naturally afterwards.

Face Animation FAQ

How do I use a face animation maker?

Upload a clear, front-facing photo of a face, pick an expression such as a smile or a blink (or describe the movement in your own words), and start the animation. When the video is ready, download it as an MP4.

What software do I need for face animation?

None. Face animation here runs in a web browser such as Chrome, Safari, Edge or Firefox, on a phone or a computer. You only need an account to start a generation.

Can face animation be 3D?

The result is a video, not a 3D model: you cannot rotate it or export it to 3D software. The face does move with depth, though, such as a head turning toward the camera.

How long does face animation take?

Most videos are ready in about two minutes. You can stay on the page while it works, and the finished video is also saved in My Creations.

Can I do face animation on my phone?

Yes. Open this page in your phone's browser, choose a photo from your photo library and start the animation. There is no app to install, and you can download the finished video on your phone.
