Free AI character video maker

Made by any2.video, which records real product walkthroughs. The AI writes three videos a day per visitor; changing the character, replaying and downloading are unlimited. For a brand video from your logo, use the free AI video maker.

Your idea is sent to an AI provider to write the script, and we keep it with the script and your character. The video is rendered in your browser.

The link is private but not secret: anyone you give it to can open your character and video. There is no account or email. We keep saved characters and videos for the period set out in our privacy policy.

How the character video maker works

  1. Create your character. Start from one of the cast or from scratch; every choice shows at once in the side and front views, standing, turning or walking.
  2. Write the idea in one line. The AI writes a script of 10 to 15 seconds for one character: postures, speech bubbles, words on screen, a piece of furniture if it fits, and up to two simple line drawings. It works only from your idea and adds no facts of its own.
  3. Watch it. The animation engine draws your character in your browser, so the video plays as soon as the script arrives. Change the character and the same script plays again with the new look.
  4. Download the MP4, rendered frame by frame on your device with a small any2.video logo in the corner, or save a private link to come back to it.

These are designed videos: a drawn character acting out an idea. For the difference between that and a recording of real software, see video styles for marketing and what a verified walkthrough is.

Questions about the AI character video maker

How can I make a free AI character video?

Design a character on this page, write the idea in one line, for example "explains why backups need testing", and press make my video. The AI writes a short script for your character: what they do, what they say, the words on screen and up to two small drawings. The video plays at once, and you download it as an MP4. No sign-up is needed.

Can I design my own cartoon character?

Yes. Start from one of the thirteen people in the cast or from scratch, then pick the skin tone, one of 33 hairstyles or a hijab and its colour, the eyes, brows, nose and mouth, face details, a beard, glasses, the top, trousers or a skirt, the height and build, and the walk. The side and front views update as you go.

How long are the videos?

Between 10 and 15 seconds, for one character. That is enough for one idea: a problem, a reaction and a point. A video with several characters and a longer script is what the Beta tier is for.

What does the AI do, and what does it not do?

It writes the script from your idea: postures, speech bubbles, a few words on screen, a piece of furniture if it fits, and up to two simple line drawings. It does not invent facts, numbers or customers, it does not add a voice, and it does not draw the character: the animation engine does that in your browser.

Is there a watermark?

A small any2.video logo sits in the bottom right corner of the video. There is no other mark, no sign-up and no email.

How do I save my character and video?

Press save link. You get a private link that opens your character and your video on this page again. There is no account: the link is the key, so anyone you give it to can open it. We keep it for the period set out in our privacy policy.

What happens to the idea I type?

It is sent to an AI provider to write the script. We keep the idea, the script, your character, your country and a one-way hash of your connection with the date, to limit each visitor to three videos a day and to improve the tool. We never publish it.

How many videos can I make?

Three AI-written videos a day per visitor. Changing the character, replaying and downloading are unlimited, and a changed character replays in the same script.

Can I use the video commercially?

Yes. The video is yours to use on your site, in a deck, in ads or on social. You confirm that the idea you type is yours to use.

Why is there no sound?

The videos are silent so they work in feeds, where many people watch with the sound off, and so you can add your own music or voice in any editor.

Does a character video show my product?

No. It is a designed video: a drawn character acting out an idea. It is good at explaining a problem or a habit. It cannot show your product working, because nothing in it ran. That is what any2.video records on the real product, and the first sample is free.

Want your real product in it?

A character can explain the problem. Only a recording of your real product shows it working: one task, on the real thing, in two days. The first sample is free.
