A Revolutionary Future with Real-time Conversational Avatars
Most anime generators stop at a still image. With AKOOL, you can bring your character to life using the ai video generator, adding motion and camera moves with leading models like Kling and Seedance.

Describe the hair, eyes, outfit, and mood, and AKOOL's AI anime art generator creates an original character ready to use — no sketching or line art required.
Upload a selfie or portrait and restyle it as an anime character that still looks like you. Great for avatars, profile pictures, and fan content.

Send any anime image straight to image-to-video and watch it move, from a gentle hair-in-the-wind loop to a full action scene.
Design your own anime heroes, villains, and side characters from a few lines of description. Try different hairstyles, outfits, and expressions until the character feels right, then keep them for every scene that follows.
Create covers, key panels, and character sheets for a manga or webtoon project. Use the results as finished art or as a fast starting point for your own drawing and inking.
Turn anime stills into short animated clips for TikTok, Reels, and YouTube Shorts. Moving anime content stands out in a feed full of static images and is easy to share.
Convert your photo into an anime version of yourself for Discord, gaming, or social profiles. You can even make your anime avatar talk with a voice and lip sync.
Give ads, product launches, and explainers an anime look that stands out from typical marketing. A mascot or brand character in anime style connects especially well with younger audiences.
Visualise characters, worlds, and key moments for a game, visual novel, or pitch. Then animate a scene into a short teaser to show the idea in motion.

What is an AI anime generator?
An AI anime generator creates anime-style images or videos from a text description or an uploaded photo. You describe the character or scene, and the AI handles the drawing, colouring, and shading. AKOOL's generator also animates anime images into short videos, so you can go from a still character to a moving scene in one place.
Is AKOOL's AI anime generator free?
Yes, you can start free. The Basic plan includes 25 images or 1.5 minutes of video. Free results carry an AKOOL watermark. Watermark removal starts on the Pro plan, which also adds more credits and larger uploads.
Can I turn a photo into anime with AI?
Yes. Upload a clear, front-facing photo and describe the anime style you want. AKOOL restyles it as an anime character while keeping recognisable features such as face shape, hair, and expression. A well-lit photo with the face fully visible gives the best result.
Can I turn anime art into an anime video?
What anime styles can I create?
You can create most popular anime looks by naming them in your prompt. Examples include shonen action, soft shoujo romance, cute chibi, cyberpunk neon, retro 90s cel animation, and gentle hand-painted fantasy scenes. Adding words about lighting, colour palette, and line weight gives you even more control over the final style.
How do I keep the same anime character across images and videos?
Save your character in Character Studio and reuse it as a reference for new images and videos. Keep key traits like hair colour, eye colour, and outfit the same in every prompt. This keeps your character recognisable across a whole series or story.
How do I write a good anime prompt?
Name the subject, appearance, setting, style, and lighting, in that order. For example: "Teenage anime swordsman with spiky black hair and a red scarf, standing on a rooftop at sunset, shonen style, dramatic backlighting." Specific details beat general words like "cool" or "beautiful." If the first result isn't right, change one detail at a time.
Can I use AI-generated anime commercially?
Yes. You can generally use AI-generated anime content for commercial purposes, provided that your use complies with AKOOL's terms, the applicable model's terms, and the rights of any third-party assets you use.
