Animaker
DIY animation studio: AI text-to-video plus deep 2D character animation.
About
Animaker is a cloud-based animation platform that has grown from a drag-and-drop cartoon maker into an AI-assisted video suite. Its AI text-to-video engine generates complete animated scenes — characters, backgrounds, transitions — from a prompt, while the signature Character Builder offers deep customization (15+ facial feature slots, accessory categories) with automatic lip-syncing across 800+ AI voices in 100+ languages. Full and Lite editing modes serve power users and beginners, and you can switch between 2D animation, whiteboard, and live-action workflows in one project.
Pricing meters AI hard: the free plan allows only a few watermarked exports per month, paid tiers (roughly $10–$79/month depending on billing) allocate annual AI credit pools that heavy users burn through, and Animaker Voice is a separate subscription. Making a character move naturally still takes real time — it is the slowest path to a finished draft among template tools, even if the result looks the most produced.
