Motion graphics from a sentence

The AI animation maker that animates with code

Describe what should move. Claude Opus 5.5 designs the motion, writes it as code, and your browser renders a crisp 1080p video you can download.

At a glance

Animation Maker AI is an online animation maker for motion graphics. You write a brief, choose a shape (16:9, 9:16, 1:1 or 4:5) and a length of 5 to 15 seconds, and Claude Opus 5.5 writes the animation as a canvas program that plays in your browser and exports to MP4. Every animation costs 60 credits, new accounts get 120 free credits (two animations), and failed ones are refunded. It draws everything with code (shapes, type, icons, charts and particles), so it does not make photorealistic footage, animate photos or add sound.

Why an animation maker that writes code

Most AI video tools paint pixels and hope the text survives. Animation Maker AI draws every frame, so type stays sharp and layouts stay exact.

  • 01

    Crisp, spelled-right text

    Titles, captions and numbers are drawn as real type in the font you ask for, so they never melt or misspell the way generated video does.

  • 02

    Designed motion, not random wobble

    The model plans beats, eases every move, staggers groups and holds a clean final frame, the way a motion designer would.

  • 03

    Every format from one brief

    Widescreen for YouTube and slides, vertical for Reels, Shorts and TikTok, square and 4:5 for feeds, all at 1080p and 30 fps.

  • 04

    Frame-exact export

    Your browser renders each frame and encodes the MP4 itself, so the download matches the preview exactly, however complex the scene.

  • 05

    The source is yours too

    Download the animation as a self-contained HTML file to embed on a site, tweak colors or timing, or hand to a developer.

  • 06

    Clear, fair pricing

    One price per animation, 60 credits, shown before you generate. If an animation fails, the credits come back automatically.

How to make an animated video

  1. 01

    Describe the animation

    Say what appears, what it says, how it moves and the mood. Quote any exact text, and name colors or fonts if they matter.

  2. 02

    Pick the shape and length

    Choose 16:9, 9:16, 1:1 or 4:5 and 5, 8, 10 or 15 seconds for the place the video will run.

  3. 03

    Preview and download

    In one to three minutes the animation plays in your browser. Scrub through it, then download the MP4 or the HTML source.

What is an AI animation maker?

An animation maker is a tool that turns an idea into moving pictures without drawing each frame by hand. Classic animation makers give you a timeline, characters and templates; an AI animation maker lets you describe the result in words and builds it for you.

Animation Maker AI works like a motion designer who codes. Claude Opus 5.5 reads your brief, plans the beats, and writes a program that draws every frame on a canvas. Because the frames are drawn rather than generated as pixels, text, logos and numbers stay exactly as you wrote them, and the same brief works in any aspect ratio.

What it is good at, and what it is not

It shines at motion graphics: animated titles and captions, kinetic typography, logo reveals, charts and counters, icon-based explainers, UI and product walkthroughs, backgrounds and abstract loops.

It draws everything with code (shapes, type, icons, charts and particles), so it does not make photorealistic footage, animate photos or add sound. For live-action scenes or animating a photo, use a video model; for everything built from type and shapes, an animation maker that draws is faster and more precise.

How to write a brief that animates well

Think in beats, the way a storyboard does. Two or three sentences are enough.

  • What appears first, what happens next, and what the last frame shows
  • The exact words on screen, in quotes
  • The mood and pace: calm and precise, bold and fast, playful
  • Colors, fonts or brand details that must be right
  • Where it will run, so the layout fits the shape

Frequently asked questions

Is Animation Maker AI free?

You can try it free: new accounts get 120 credits, enough for two animations. After that each animation costs 60 credits from a plan or a one-time pack.

Can I use it as an animation maker online, without installing anything?

Yes. It runs in the browser on desktop and mobile. The model writes the animation on our servers and your browser plays and exports it, so there is nothing to install.

Which AI is best for animated video?

It depends on the video. For live action or animating photos, pixel video models such as Veo, Sora or Kling are the right tool. For animated text, logos, charts and explainers, a model that writes the animation as code, such as Claude Opus 5.5 here, gives sharper text and exact layouts.

How long does an animation take?

Usually one to three minutes from pressing Animate to the first preview. Exporting the MP4 in your browser takes a few more seconds.

What do I download?

A 1080p, 30 fps MP4 (H.264), or WebM on browsers that cannot encode H.264, plus an optional self-contained HTML file with the animation's source code.

Does the video have sound?

No. Animations are silent, which suits captions, social feeds and slides. Add music or a voice-over in any video editor afterwards.

Can I use the animations commercially?

Yes, including in ads and client work, as long as your brief respects other people's trademarks and rights and our terms of service.
