10 Free AI Animation Tools: Bring Images to Life

there are some really easy ways to make your mid Journey images more interesting for social media creating AI films or just for fun you can make them more immersive animate them make them talk create 3D worlds all of this can be done completely for free and each of these techniques takes less than two minutes some of them just a few seconds and it doesn't have to be mid-journey images they could be from any image generator or even a real photo if those still exist first up is Leia pics go to convert.leopics.com click upload and easy as that you have an immersive depth animation there's sliders to change how long the animation cycle is and the way it animates also an advanced editor where you can get more customizable then just click share and select your export format super easy but I love the way these look they're kind of mesmerizing [Music] foreign [Music] these will get more advanced as we go along but here's another Super Quick One cap cut it's not an AI tool but this technique gets used a lot and it's really cool so it deserves a mention you need to download the phone app if you don't have it start a new project then upload your photos select one tap style then select 3D Zoom or 3D Zoom Pro this has been a trend for a while but if you use it on the right images it looks awesome that applies to all these methods there's the old adage garbage in garbage out so you need to have good images if you want any of the specific prompts I used I'll always share them just ask in the comments and I'll reply with it there were way too many to leave them all in the description thank you [Music] this tool is amazing my last video was a deep dive into it but since then they've opened it to the public fully and it's still completely free the link to the Discord is in the description along with all the other tools once you're in the Discord go to these generate channels use the create command type what type of movement you want in your scene and click the plus one to upload your image then hit enter to generate Pica also does text to video where you just describe what you want without a reference image and it will create anything my last video goes much deeper if you want more tips and examples [Music] this is a pretty new tool that's completely free right now you can turn your image into an immersive 3D environment it's called instaverse from illumin AI once you open it click 2D to 3D then upload your image under 2D texture it will still look off because we need to add a depth map so the quickest way to get one is back to layer picks upload your image there it works best if you lower the edge dilation to zero then when you click share use the option of depth map then back to illumine and upload it then you can move around the instructions on how to control the movement are up here it's really amazing this can be generated just from a 2D image foreign is research from meta it's fun and really easy to use so it's designed to animate children's drawings but you can upload any character you want it just needs to be on a white background with every limb separate and visible so if you want to generate something like this in mid-journey add a pose or t pose to your prompt I also add symmetrical and full body then use a more vertical aspect ratio it comes back well pretty consistently with that then to remove the background a great free tool is remove.bg upload the image then you can edit the result if it's not perfect and switch the background to White then back in here click upload photo and agree then adjust the frame here if it doesn't capture the full character on the next page you can fix the mask if there's any issues and then find each of the joints it'll tell you what you're looking for up here and then let it do its thing and there it is then we have a bunch of different animations to choose from so again it's made to animate children's drawing so a lot of the animations are pretty silly but it's fun to mess around with then you could key out the background and let it play over other majority images I might actually be using this for just quick animations in future videos also it looks completely ridiculous if you upload a photo of a real person genmo is a really quick way to add cool animations there's two tabs you can try in here the old option you just upload your image ask what you want it to animate and let it run it works well but we're going to use the new genmo chat feature you could also generate an image here do text to video turn things into 3D objects tons of cool stuff but for this video we're animating images there's two ways to do this one is to just upload your image and then chat with it it can tell what's in the image you upload then you can direct it from there I'll just say animate it and see what happens its responses are pretty intuitive and this first result is great but if you don't like it you can ask it to make changes like here the elephant wasn't moving at all and that's pretty cool I could keep going back and forth or start with a more specific instruction to get what I want but if you want to see the specifics and understand it a little better after you upload your photo click the plus button to use it as your reference image then click animate and this box will pop up describe what you want to happen in the animation then you can adjust the options like length and dynamism which is how much variation there will be between frames you could also animate a specific region I like this first animation lot but let's test it out in the style of an oil painting and with the dynamism and exploration set to 50. it generates pretty fast and gives some really cool animations and you could go into different styles or lengthen it and change the scene more there's endless directions you could take it and your fuel balance will reset to 100 every day which is a pretty good amount but if you need more there is a turbo plan so there's a few main tools for creating speaking avatars I'll kind of mention them together here since they work very similarly these are the tools people are using to create meme videos and faceless YouTube channels so two of them are freemium plans that are really easy to use the other is completely free but a little more difficult first we'll look at did.com you can upload an image of a face then either write your script and choose a voice or you could upload your own audio which could be you or a voice you trained using a tool like 11 Labs then let it generate you can generate up to five minutes for free depending on what you're using it for that could be plenty it's five dollars per month after that this is a demo of the software called did how do I look then the other tool was hey gen the same process once you're in there they do have a lot of additional features as well one difference is I have run into issues when trying to upload famous faces with did and those usually work just fine with hey gen so that's the tool I use most of the time and you get one minute for free each month and it's paid after that this is a demo of the software called Hagen how do I look there is a completely free option called sad talker on a hugging face it's kind of the same idea here you upload your Source image then upload your audio you have to have the audio to upload then there's a few different settings I like the expression scale around 1 to 1.5 and switch the face model to 512 for higher resolution but it will take longer to generate now if you have a nice computer you can duplicate the space and upgrade the GPU so it will be significantly faster I do not so I've only used it in here and for pre-process I use full otherwise it crops down the section it's animating and you have to Overlay it onto your original image after full essentially just does that for you and selecting gfpgan will increase the quality quite a bit then let it generate like I said this can take a long time depending on how busy it is like five minutes or an hour but the results are really good if you have the time this is the best fully free option I've come across this is a demo of the software called sad talker how do I look this next tool has very broad capabilities you can get cool stuff out of the box if you learn an experiment you can get really interesting animations with it I actually use this tool mostly for video to video when I want to add an effect over an existing video but it works well to animate images too and upfront the free version of this is more limited it's just a seven day free trial it is five dollars per month for the base plan after that click create a video then begin with an image and upload your photo type in what you want to create in the first section then you can tell it what style you want it to create in or what I recommend especially at first is to select one of their Styles you can definitely experiment for yourself it usually comes back with cool stuff no matter what you put in there then select your settings there's camera movement and how Wild you want the animations to get then on the next screen it will generate preview frames to give you a little bit of an idea what it will look like and you can actually storyboard this out and have it transform and morph into different scenes as it evolves but I'll just let it run like this it takes a minute or two depending on how long your video is so I'll skip to it [Music] then here's how it looks with the Evolve parameter set to 10. [Music] here's a couple other short experiments with it [Music] thank you [Music] so this one is a paid tool but I wanted to include it because they just added the image prompting feature and it's come back with some pretty amazing results this feature Works similarly to Pica but Runway is actually an entire Suite of video and photo tools also it's web-based instead of in Discord but for this I'm just testing out their image to video once you have an account it's under generate videos then Gen 2 and you'll add your image so if you add a prompt it uses your image sort of as a style reference but doesn't really come back looking much like it at all so you have to leave the prompt blank and just see what it comes back with so you don't really have control but I have gotten some pretty cool results with it another downside is your Generations are fairly limited so the costs start to add up especially since you're just hoping it does something cool I've had it come back with the image doing essentially nothing so it's just wasting credits they do have an unlimited plan but it's pretty steep at 95 a month that all being said when it goes well they have some of the best results with the highest quality out of any image to video yet [Music] foreign [Music] [Applause] [Music] thank you thank you
