Animate a Sketch with AI
Give a pencil sketch, ink drawing, or hand-drawn character a little movement. Upload the whole picture, choose the video length and quality, and create a short animation inspired by your lines.
Animate Your SketchWhat makes a good sketch?
Clear outlines and visible details make a strong starting point. A character, creature, or small scene is often easier to recognize than a page filled with very faint lines. Light pencil marks, smudges, and overlapping shapes may change in the finished video.
Paper sketches and digital drawings
You can upload a photo of a paper sketch or an image exported from a drawing app. For paper, keep the page flat, use even light, and capture the full drawing. For digital artwork, choose a clear image with enough contrast to see the lines.
What might move?
A standing character might shift or gesture. An animal might turn its head. A loose doodle might sway or drift. The result is inspired by the sketch, but movement and small details can vary. If you want to prepare a character drawing, read tips for animating a hand-drawn character.
