AI Character Animation & Swap with Wan Animate

Wan Animate (also known as Wan 2.2 Animate) is a video generation tool for character animation and replacement. It can animate characters by replicating expressions and movements from reference videos, or integrate animated characters into existing videos with seamless environmental integration.

New users receive 5 free credits upon registration, which can be used to generate videos up to 5 seconds in 480p resolution. For more advanced features and higher quality outputs, you can upgrade to a subscription plan or purchase permanent credits.

Given a character image and reference video, Wan 2.2 Animate uses spatially-aligned skeleton signals for body motion control and implicit facial features for expression reenactment, generating high-fidelity character videos with precise replication.

Yes! Wan Animate can replace characters in videos while preserving their expressions and movements, and replicating the scene's lighting and color tone for seamless environmental integration using our Relighting LoRA.

Wan 2.2 Animate introduces Mixture-of-Experts architecture with 27B parameters, upgraded training data, high-compression video generation, and superior performance compared to leading commercial models. Carefully curated aesthetic data enables precise control over cinematic style.

Video generation time typically ranges from 1–3 minutes depending on video length and complexity. Shorter clips (5–10 seconds) usually complete within a minute, while longer sequences may take up to 3 minutes.

Unlike traditional animation software, Wan Animate uses AI to automatically replicate performer movements and expressions onto any character, combining motion capture precision with AI flexibility to make professional-quality animation accessible.
