Wan 2.2 Animate Online: Your Character, a Performer's Moves

Wan 2.2 Animate reads the pose and the face of the person in your video and plays both back on your character image. No prompt, no ComfyUI graph, no GPU.

The performance comes from a real person

Body from a skeleton, face from the performer

Alibaba's team built Wan Animate on two signals: a pose skeleton for the body and features taken from the performer's face for the expressions. So a head tilt, a raised eyebrow or a half smile carries over along with the steps.

Works on characters that are not people

Alibaba's project page shows non-human and stylised characters as well as people. Give it a full-body image with clear limbs and the model maps the performer's pose onto it, keeping your character's look.

The clip sets the length

There is no duration picker. The result runs as long as your driving video, from 2 up to 30 seconds, so cut the clip to the exact move before you upload it.

Who Alibaba built it for

  • Short-form video Film yourself doing a trend or a dance, then have your mascot or avatar perform it.

  • Game and character art See how a concept character moves before anyone rigs it.

  • Ads with a brand character Act out the spot on a phone; the brand character delivers it.

  • Film and TV previs Block a scene with a stand-in and preview it on the final character design.

How crypto checkout works

Wan Animate next to Kling motion control

All three move a character image the way someone moves in a video. Wan Animate takes no text, and Alibaba built it to copy facial expressions as well as pose; Kling's motion control modes accept an optional prompt for the setting and style.

Wan 2.2 Animate questions

What is Wan Animate?

Wan 2.2 Animate (Wan-Animate) is a character animation model from Alibaba's Tongyi Wan team, released as open weights in September 2025. You give it a character image and a video of a performer, and it animates the character with the performer's body movement and facial expressions.

How do I use Wan 2.2 Animate online?

On PicX Studio, pick Wan Animate in the video generator, upload a character image and a driving video of 30 seconds or less, and generate. There are no settings to tune and nothing to install.

Do I need ComfyUI or a GPU for Wan Animate?

Not on PicX. Running it yourself means downloading the 14B model, preprocessing the video into pose and face data, and having a strong GPU. PicX runs that pipeline in the cloud, so you only upload two files.

Is Wan 2.2 Animate free?

The weights are free under Apache 2.0 if you run them on your own hardware. On PicX Studio, each clip costs credits (see the pricing table on this page), and credits never expire.

Can Wan Animate replace the person in my video?

The model has a replacement mode that puts your character into the original video and relights it to match the scene. That mode is not available on PicX yet; PicX offers the animation mode, which moves your character image with the video's motion.

Does Wan Animate use prompts?

No. The look comes from your image and the motion from your video, so there is no text to write. The example setups on this page describe which image and video to pair.

Wan Animate vs Kling motion control: which should I use?

Pick Wan Animate when the performer's expressions matter as much as the movement, for a mascot reacting or a character delivering a line, and when you want no prompt at all. Pick Kling 3.0 Pro Motion when you need 1080p, or Kling's prompt to restyle the setting.

How long can a Wan Animate video be?

As long as your driving video, from 2 to 30 seconds, at 720p. Longer clips need to be split and animated in parts.

One character image, one performer video, 720p motion and expressions.
