Natural human motion

The basics
What Is Hailuo AI?
Hailuo AI is the video generation brand of MiniMax, an AI company that builds language, speech and video models. Hailuo AI models turn a written prompt or a still image into a short video clip, and creators often pick them for lifelike motion, expressive faces and camera moves that follow the prompt. The official Hailuo AI app and website are run by MiniMax; many other platforms, including Image2AIVideo, offer the same models through an API.
MiniMax H3 is the latest model in the Hailuo AI video line. MiniMax released its open weights on August 3, 2026 under the MiniMax H3 Community License. The model handles text to video, image to video and reference-based video, can generate up to 15 seconds in one pass and creates sound together with the picture. On Image2AIVideo you can use the Hailuo AI model for text to video and image to video today.
How it works
How to Use the Hailuo AI Video Generator
Three steps from an idea to a finished MiniMax H3 clip on Image2AIVideo.
- Step 1
Pick text or image
Choose Text to Video to describe a scene from scratch, or Image to Video to animate a JPG, PNG or WebP picture up to 4 MB. Your image becomes the first frame of the Hailuo AI video.
- Step 2
Describe the scene and the motion
Name the subject, the action, the camera move and the light. Hailuo AI models follow camera directions such as a slow push-in, an orbit or a tracking shot. Choose 4, 6 or 10 seconds and, for text to video, 16:9, 9:16 or 1:1.
- Step 3
Generate and download
The credit cost appears before you start. Most clips are ready within a few minutes; play the result in your browser and download the MP4.
Features
Why Creators Use Hailuo AI Models
What the MiniMax H3 model is good at, and how Image2AIVideo packages it.
Camera direction in plain English
Write the camera move into the prompt and the Hailuo AI model follows it, from a static wide shot to a slow dolly toward the subject.
Text to video and image to video
Use the same Hailuo AI model to invent a scene from words or to animate a photo, product shot or illustration you already have.
Pay per clip, no subscription
Buy a credit pack once and spend credits on each video. There is nothing to cancel, and a failed generation costs nothing.
Cost before you generate
The exact number of credits for each Hailuo AI clip is shown next to the button, based on the mode and the length you choose.
Private by default
Your prompts, images and finished videos are stored privately in your Image2AIVideo account.
Use cases
What You Can Make with Hailuo AI
The MiniMax H3 model works best on short, focused shots. These are common projects.
Portraits and characters
Animate a portrait or describe a character with a simple action. Faces can drift during big movements, so keep the face large and the action small.
Product shots
A bottle catching the light, a sneaker on a turntable, fabric moving in the wind: quick product clips for stores and ads.
Social media videos
Generate 9:16 clips for Reels, Shorts and TikTok or 1:1 clips for feed posts with the Hailuo AI video generator.
B-roll and travel scenes
Drone shots over a coastline, a rainy street at night, mist over a lake: filler shots for YouTube videos and presentations.
Illustrations and fantasy worlds
Bring artwork to life with image to video, or invent floating islands and storybook villages with text to video.
Prompts
Hailuo AI Prompts to Try
Three text to video and three image to video prompts written for MiniMax H3. Use one, then change the details.
Sneaker on a turntable
Product Videos · 6s · 1:1
“A white running sneaker rotates slowly on a matte gray turntable. Soft studio lighting, gentle reflections on the floor, a clean minimal background. Smooth, steady product shot.”
Fisherman on the dock
Portraits · 10s · 16:9
“An old fisherman with a gray beard sits on a wooden dock, mending a net. He looks up at the sea as gulls fly past. Overcast morning light, slow push-in, documentary style.”
Drone over a rocky coastline
Travel & Landscapes · 10s · 16:9
“Aerial drone shot gliding over a rocky coastline at sunrise. Waves break against the cliffs and mist rises from the water. The camera moves forward steadily. Natural, cinematic colors.”
Perfume bottle product reveal
Product Videos · 6s
“The camera slowly pushes in on the glass perfume bottle as soft light sweeps across the label. Small specks of light drift in the background. Clean studio look, shallow depth of field.”
Golden-hour portrait
Portraits · 6s
“She turns her head toward the camera and smiles softly. The wind moves her hair. Warm golden-hour light, slow handheld camera, natural skin tones.”
Cat by the window
Animals · 4s
“The cat blinks slowly, then turns its head to watch a bird outside. Its tail moves gently. Soft morning light through the window, static camera.”
- Describe one main action. “A cat jumps onto the windowsill” works better than a list of events.
- Name the camera move: slow push-in, orbit, tracking shot or static shot.
- Set the light and time of day: golden hour, neon night, soft overcast light.
- For image to video, describe the movement, not the picture. Your image already shows what the scene looks like.
- When you refine a result, change one thing at a time.
