Input image Action Scenes for Animators
Turn one key pose of a cartoon character into a full action beat. The character settles into a stance and brings the staff round into a guard, while hair and clothes follow through in your art style.
Input image Picture Book Stories
Bring picture book illustrations to life for children's stories. The watercolor and pencil look stays as painted while the scene moves, with waves, splashes and laughter in the same clip.
Input image Character Turnarounds
Show a character from more than one angle. Start from a front view and get a smooth turn to the side, with the face, outfit and props kept consistent.
Input image Idle Animations for Games
Give a cartoon game character a short idle animation: a bounce, a blink, a glowing staff. Ask for it to end close to its starting pose, ready to loop.
Input image Talking Mascots
Write a line of dialogue in your prompt and your character says it, with a voice, matching mouth movements and sound effects in the same clip.
Input image Line Art Comes Alive
Bring ink drawings, manga-style line art and cartoon sketches to life. Black lines stay black lines on white paper while the rain falls and the characters walk.

What is ToonCrafter?
ToonCrafter is an AI cartoon animation generator that turns cartoon images into smooth animated clips. Upload a start frame and, optionally, an end frame, describe the motion, and get a short animation that keeps the style of your artwork.
What is the main function of ToonCrafter?
ToonCrafter's primary function is to create fluid animations from cartoon key frames. Upload a picture and describe the motion, and the AI turns it into smooth movement; add an end frame, and it animates the way from one keyframe to the other. This tool is invaluable for animators, content creators, and anyone interested in easy, professional-quality cartoon animation creation.
How do I use ToonCrafter to create an animation?
The process is straightforward: 1) Prepare one or two key frame images. 2) Upload them to ToonCrafter: a start frame and, optionally, an end frame. 3) Optionally, add a text prompt to guide the animation, and choose the length and resolution. 4) Wait for our AI to process your images. 5) Download your completed animation.
What skills do I need to use ToonCrafter?
No specific animation skills are required. ToonCrafter is designed to be user-friendly for both professionals and beginners. Simply prepare and upload your key frame images, and let our advanced AI handle the animation process, saving you time and effort.
What image formats and sizes does ToonCrafter support?
ToonCrafter supports WEBP, PNG, and JPG formats, up to 10 MB per image. For the best results, use clear images with one main subject, and an end frame that shows the same scene as the start frame.
What are the specifications of the generated animations?
ToonCrafter produces: Format: MP4 with a sound track. Duration: 5 to 15 seconds, your choice. Resolution: 480P or 768P. Shape: the clip keeps the shape of your start image, for example 16:9, 1:1 or 9:16. Sound: dialogue, sound effects and ambience are generated with the video; describe them in your prompt.
Is there a cost to use ToonCrafter? Is there a free trial?
ToonCrafter runs on credits. A clip costs 1 credit per second at 480P and 2 credits per second at 768P, so a 5-second clip at 480P costs 5 credits. Buy a credit pack once, with credits valid for 2 years, or subscribe to a monthly or yearly plan for a lower price per credit. Free credits for new accounts are offered only from time to time and are not guaranteed, and credits for a failed generation are refunded.
What is the difference between credit packs and subscriptions?
Credit packs are a one-time purchase, and their credits stay valid for 2 years. Subscriptions renew every month or every year and give more credits for the price: a monthly plan's credits are valid for its month, a yearly plan's credits for its year. You can cancel a subscription at any time and keep the credits already granted until they expire.
How do I choose between a credit pack and a subscription?
Choose a credit pack if you animate now and then: you pay once and the credits stay. Choose a subscription if you make animations regularly: the price per credit is lower, and a yearly plan gives the whole year's credits up front.
How long does it take to process an animation?
A clip is usually ready in about 2 minutes. Longer clips and 768P take more time, and processing can take longer when the system is busy. Every finished animation is also saved in My Creations.
What core technologies does ToonCrafter use?
ToonCrafter uses a current AI video generation model that turns still images into motion while keeping their style. We choose and update the model behind the service, so you get smooth, high-quality animation without managing any technical settings.
