How to Use

Step 1: Upload Source Portrait

Upload the static image you want to animate. This can be a photo, painting, cartoon, or even an animal face.

Step 2: Upload Driving Video

Upload a video of someone talking that will "drive" the animation. For best results, ensure the face is stable, shoulders move minimally, and the first frame has a neutral expression.

Step 3: Click 🚀 Animate

The AI will map the expressions and lip movements from the driving video onto your source image, creating an animated video.
