Photo to Anime

Turn anime-style images into videos with AI

Convert anime-style images into videos

Most anime filter tools stop at static anime images. But anime comes to life with movement—dramatic hair flowing in the wind, sakura petals falling softly, and expressive character poses. VEED turns your anime photos into animations that capture that energy. Create your anime-style image using an AI anime generator or photo-to-anime converter, then bring your image to life using our image-to-video AI.

You can also become an anime character yourself with Fabric 1.0. Record yourself talking, upload an anime reference image, and the AI transfers your movements and voice onto the character. Create character-driven content that resonates with audiences who love anime. Build consistent personas for TikTok and YouTube.

How to turn a photo into anime:

Step 1

Prepare your anime-style image

Use text-to-image AI to generate an anime image from scratch. Or convert an existing photo into anime using an online photo-to-anime converter. Upload your anime-style image to VEED.

Step 2

Describe the animation

Focus on specific actions and camera movements. Write prompts describing how your anime image should move, like ‘waving and smiling,’ ‘slow camera pan across the scene,’ or ‘character nodding with hair flowing.’

Step 3

Download or edit your anime video

Download your anime video or open it in VEED's editor. Add anime-inspired music and sound effects, overlay text and subtitles, apply color filters for different moods, or stitch multiple clips into sequences.
