Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about Animate a Drawing

Any drawing with a clear character outline works well. Hand-drawn sketches, digital art, and illustrations all work. Characters with defined body parts (head, arms, legs) get the best results from our AI pose detection. High contrast drawings with solid backgrounds are ideal.

Our AI uses MediaPipe to automatically detect character poses and create a skeleton rig. Once rigged, you can apply motion presets or generate custom animations from text prompts. The system then interpolates between keyframes to create smooth animations.

Input: PNG, JPG, GIF, and WebP images up to 10MB.
Output: MP4, WebM, GIF, and PNG sequence exports. Video exports support up to 4K resolution.

Quick Animate supports up to 60 seconds. Full projects can be much longer - short form (up to 60s), medium (up to 5 minutes), and full-length animations with multiple scenes and characters.

Yes! You own your original artwork and any animations created from it. Paid plans include full commercial rights to use your exported animations however you like - YouTube, social media, games, client work, etc.

Quick Animate: Upload one drawing, apply a motion preset, export. Perfect for simple GIFs and quick content.
Full Projects: Multiple characters, scenes, backgrounds, camera movements, audio, and timeline editing. Ideal for more complex animations and stories.

Motion presets are pre-made animations like walk, run, dance, wave, and jump. They contain keyframe data that's automatically applied to your character's rig. You can preview presets before applying and adjust the speed to match your needs.

Yes! You can manually adjust the rig, create custom keyframes, or describe the motion you want in text and our AI will generate it. Full projects include a timeline editor for precise animation control.

Your artwork is stored securely while you work on projects. Quick Animate temporary files are deleted within 24 hours. Full project files remain until you delete them or close your account. We never use your artwork to train AI models without explicit consent.

Credits are used for AI features like pose detection, motion generation, and video exports. Each plan includes a monthly credit allowance. Free accounts get limited credits to try the service. Credits refresh monthly and don't roll over.

Yes! You can invite collaborators to your projects via email. They can view, edit, or have full access depending on the permissions you set. Perfect for teams working on animations together.

No problem! You can manually adjust the rig using our editor. Click and drag joints to reposition them, add new joints, or connect them differently. Some art styles work better with manual rigging.
