Meta Animated Drawings
Turn static 2D character sketches into animated videos using AI.
Animated Drawings is a free AI web tool developed by Meta Fundamental AI Research (FAIR) that animates static hand-drawn characters. It automatically isolates the figure, detects joints, and applies pre-built motion cycles like walking, jumping, and dancing. It provides a simple way to bring drawings to life without manual rigging or animation software.
What it's for
- Animate hand-drawn characters and children's drawings in seconds
- Create quick motion clips for social media or presentations without keyframing
- Prototype character motion before detailed animation in dedicated software
Features
- Automatic character isolation and background masking
- Interactive joint detection and manual rigging adjustments
- Preset motion libraries categorized by dance, funny, jumping, and walking
- Web-based workflow requiring no software installation
- One-click video export of animated sequences
Pricing
Free to use as a research demo.
