Have you ever wanted to bring an anime character to life, but thought it would take too much time or advanced skills? In this quick guide, I’ll show you how I created an anime-style character using Freepik AI and then turned it into a short animation. Best part? It’s simple enough for beginners.

Step 1: Creating the Anime Character with Freepik AI
To get started, I used Freepik’s AI image generator.
It’s a simple tool that lets you type in a prompt and generate anime-style characters.
-
I typed my prompt describing the character I wanted.
-
After a few adjustments, I had the perfect anime image ready to use.
This step is quick, and you don’t need to worry about complex settings. Just play around with prompts until you get a design you like.
Step 2: Turning the Image into an Animation
Once I had my AI-generated image, it was time to bring it to life.
-
I went into Generate Video and selected the Auto model.
-
I added my prompt describing what I wanted my character to do.
-
After creating a short 5–6 second video, I refined the prompt until the animation felt right.
⚡ Tip: Be mindful of which model you choose. Some models use more credits than others, and you don’t want to run out too quickly.
Why This Method Works
This workflow is fast, fun, and beginner-friendly. You don’t need advanced animation skills to make something cool. By combining AI tools, you can:
-
Turn static AI art into living characters
-
Save time with quick AI workflows
-
Experiment creatively with prompts
-
Build confidence to try other AI platforms
