Turn static images into cinematic videos with realistic movement

MiniMax Hailuo 2.3 brings your photos to life with fluid dancing sequences, complex flips, and natural character movements. This model also excels at cinematic VFX, seamless style transformations (think Pixar-style visuals or surrealist effects), and even text and logo animation.

VEED's AI playground lets you use Hailuo 2.3 image to video alongside models like Veo 3.1 Fast and Sora 2. Test various animation styles for creative projects or compare how different models handle human motion. Try Hailuo 2.3 now and explore what this newly released model can do.

How to use Hailuo 2.3 image to video:

Step 1

Upload image

Upload a photo and select MiniMax Hailuo 2.3 in the model menu. The model works with any aspect ratio, automatically preserving your original image composition.

Step 2

Add your prompt

Add a text prompt describing how you want the image to move—whether it's a character dancing, performing acrobatics, or any dynamic action sequence. Hailuo 2.3's improved prompt adherence means straightforward descriptions typically generate accurate results.

Step 3

Generate and download your video

Watch Hailuo 2.3 animate your image with realistic human physics and character consistency. Download your video when ready. You can also try Wan 2.5 or Kling AI to compare video generation capabilities.

Realistic human physics that handle complex movements

Human motion is Hailuo 2.3's standout strength. The model generates fluid dancing sequences, from belly dancing to waltz. You can also create acrobatic flips and dynamic action without the awkward physics that plague other image-to-video models. When AI enthusiasts tested the same "TikTok dancer doing flips on a drone" prompt across models, community feedback noted Hailuo 2.3 "looks so realistic that with some blur it could be shown on TV" while other models struggled with physics accuracy.

Character consistency across animated sequences

Hailuo 2.3 excels at character consistency, letting you include reference collages in your input image. Show multiple angles of a character plus scale references (like size comparisons between characters or objects). The model maintains those features throughout the animation. AI creators have successfully used this technique to prompt multiple shots and tie them together as sequences—a workflow that addresses one of the biggest pain points in AI video generation.

Cinematic VFX, stylization, and text animation capabilities

Beyond human motion, Hailuo 2.3 delivers versatility. The model handles VFX like explosions, particle effects, and atmospheric lighting transitions with cinematic realism. The model shifts seamlessly between photorealism and surrealist effects while maintaining coherent motion. Text and logo animation also sees major improvements; animated logos stay readable and integrated naturally into scenes. In one user test of crowd scenes, destruction sequences, and camera zooms, Hailuo 2.3 passed all three with effects looking "more realistic and natural" compared to competing models.
