How it works

Turn yourself into an animated cartoon character and create short videos with your cloned voice.

Step-by-step workflow

1

Upload your selfie

Use a clear, front-facing photo with good lighting. The cleaner the face, the better the cartoon. Avoid sunglasses, heavy shadows, or group photos.

2

Pick a cartoon style

We draw you in eight cartoon styles, from Pixar 3D and anime to sketch and watercolor. Pick the one that looks most like you. This image becomes the visual anchor for all your videos.

3

Train your character

Your cartoon style image is used to train a personal AI model that learns your character's look. This takes 15 to 30 minutes. You can leave the page. Training runs in the background and you'll see the status when you come back.

4

Add your own voice (optional)

Read 2–3 sentences aloud in a quiet room. The AI clones your voice and uses it to narrate your video scenes. Skip this step if you want silent videos.

5

Create a video

Click Create Video from your character page. In the studio, write scene descriptions or use the Write with AI button to generate them from a simple brief. Add voice scripts for each scene if you recorded your voice.

6

Watch it come together

Click Generate All Scenes to start generating. Each scene takes a minute or two. When all scenes are ready, click Generate Final Video to stitch them together with audio.

Tips for better scene descriptions

Be specific and visual. Instead of “the character is happy”, write “the character sits at a sunlit café table, smiling and holding a coffee cup, a warm golden light streaming through the window”.

Include the setting. Where is the character? Time of day? Indoor or outdoor? The AI uses all of this to compose the scene.

Use the AI brief generator. Click Write with AI in the studio and describe your video in plain language, like “A 30-second upbeat video of my character waking up, making coffee, and heading out for a run.” The AI expands this into detailed scene prompts.

Keep voice scripts short. 1–2 sentences per scene work best for the voice cloning model. The script should feel natural when spoken aloud, not read.

Name your video first. Set the video title before clicking Generate. You'll find it in the header bar of the studio page.

Common questions

Why does scene 1 look different from the rest?

Scene 1 is generated using your trained character model, so it's the most accurate representation of your character. Scenes 2+ reference scene 1 as the style anchor, so slight variation is normal but drift is minimized.

The background looks too realistic. What should I do?

Add visual keywords to your scene description like 'illustrated cartoon background', 'painted animation style', or 'cel-shaded environment'. The more you describe the art style, the better the result.

Can I reuse a character across multiple videos?

Yes. Go to your character page and click Make a video. Each video is a separate project but all share the same trained character model.

How long does a video take?

Long enough for a coffee break and a walk. Character training runs 15 to 30 minutes the first time (once per character). After that, each scene takes a minute or two. You can leave the page and come back. Everything keeps running in the background.

Scene 1 audio didn't work. What happened?

Scene 1 generates image, video, and audio all at the same time, so it occasionally needs a moment longer. The system retries automatically, and if audio still can't be added, the following scenes will have it.
