Produce animated video clips with matching character voiceover and background music natively within the platform. Dialogue timing aligns directly with on screen character reactions, delivering complete video sequences without relying on external sound editing tools.

How to Animate Webtoons in 3 Steps

  1. Upload and Analyze Your Comic Artwork

    Add your comic pages, vertical strips, or individual illustration files to the workspace. The platform reads the uploaded artwork to detect scene boundaries, dialogue text, and composition elements, laying the foundation for your storyboard.

  2. Create Anime Characters and Backgrounds

    Establish character reference sheets to keep facial features, outfits, and styling consistent throughout the sequence. You can also configure environment backgrounds to make sure each scene carries the correct lighting and visual tone.

  3. Generate Anime Images and Video

    Select prewritten camera prompt templates to direct movement, angles, and pacing for each shot. Once the image panels look ready, the system renders final anime video clips complete with character voiceover and background sound.

Practical Tips for Comic Creators

Tip 1: Start with a Short Scene

Begin with a simple conversation or character reaction to test the workflow. Keeping panel order clear and focusing on a single movement per shot lets you evaluate visual rhythm before expanding into longer chapters.

Tip 2: Set Clear Character and Background References

Upload reference images that display distinct facial features, costume details, and setting colors. Using consistent naming for each cast member and location helps the AI maintain visual continuity across every shot card.

Tip 3: Review Storyboard Panels Before Video Generation

Examine camera framing, facial expressions, and eye line direction on your visual board first. Adjusting individual shot cards early preserves generation credits and ensures smooth dialogue timing when rendering final video clips.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I animate a manga or webtoon panel without changing its art style?

Use the original panel as a visual reference and describe a small movement, such as a blink, a slight head turn, or hair moving in the breeze. Keep the character design, colors, and line work in your shot description. Review a short clip first and refine the prompt if the motion changes details you want to preserve.

What should I write in a prompt to add subtle motion?

Describe what moves, what stays still, and how the camera behaves. For example: The character blinks once, a light breeze moves her hair, and the camera slowly pushes in. Keep her pose and the background still. Start with one main action per shot, then adjust the movement after reviewing the result.

How can I keep the same character across different shots?

Reuse the same character reference sheets and keep names, outfits, hairstyles, and distinguishing details consistent in your descriptions. Link each shot to the relevant character and setting references. Check the storyboard for changes in faces, clothing, and backgrounds before generating video, and revise individual shots where needed.

Should I animate a whole chapter or start with individual panels?

Start with a short scene and select the panels that show its main story beats. Add the panels as references and explain their reading order, dialogue, and actions. Review the resulting shots in the workspace before expanding to the next scene. This gives you a manageable sequence to check for pacing and continuity.

How should I handle speech bubbles and dialogue?

Use artwork without speech bubbles when you have a clean version available, and provide the dialogue separately as text with speaker names. Plan enough time for each line and the character’s reaction. Keeping the artwork and dialogue separate makes it easier to revise framing, narration, and timing as you build the scene.

How do I make separate comic panels connect into a smooth scene?

Describe the action between panels, including where a character moves, what they look toward, and how the next shot continues the moment. Keep screen direction and locations consistent across related shots. Review the storyboard in order, add a transition shot where the action needs one, and test the sequence with short clips before generating more.

How much does it cost to animate my webtoon?

The total cost depends on your full creation workflow, from character and other asset references to storyboard images, final video clips, and audio. Each stage uses credits based on the model and settings you choose. For example, GPT Image 2 costs 60 credits per image for character, location, or prop references and storyboard images. For final video clips, MiniMax H3 at 2K costs 650 credits per 5-second video. Other models and settings have different costs. See our pricing plans and credit details for more information.
