Video to anime

Same take, redrawn.

Motion, timing and framing stay as you shot them. Only the look changes.

How it works

Convert video to animation in three steps.

From phone footage to a redrawn clip: add it, name the look, download the result.

  1. Upload your video

    Press the plus in the prompt box and add an MP4 or MOV clip. Your own take becomes the source for every frame.

  2. Describe the animation style

    Name the look, the line and the color, and say how closely it should follow your footage. Short, specific words work best.

  3. Generate and download

    Frameo redraws the clip and you download the animated version. The exact cost of a render is shown before you start it.

Real results

Live action in, animation out.

Video to animation questions

Short clips of a few seconds redraw most cleanly, and longer takes are best split into scenes. The exact cost of a render is shown before you start it.

Motion, timing and framing follow your footage. Say in your prompt how closely faces should stay to the original, and Frameo redraws them to match.

Cel anime, 3D cartoon, claymation, watercolour and comic ink all work well. Name the line weight and colour you want, and you get more control over the result.

You retain ownership of what you make. The Terms of Use set out the full position.

Your turn

Drop in a clip and pick a style.

Add your footage with the plus, name the look you want and send it. Frameo opens with your idea filled in.
