AI Hug Video with Anime & Cartoon Characters

Four short hugs with drawn and 3D characters, about five seconds each. Press play to watch one.

Many “AI hug” templates only slide two pictures together or cross-fade between them. This tool sends both pictures to Seedance 2.0 as identity references and asks for one continuous shot in which both figures move, raise their arms and hold each other. You never have to paste them into one image first.

Image 1 is figure A and image 2 is figure B. They don’t have to be the same kind of picture: a photo of you and an anime drawing, two OC drawings, or a 3D render and a selfie are all valid inputs.

The hug instructions are written for two figures with faces, arms and at least a waist-up body. That covers most anime, manga, cartoon and 3D characters, but not everything.

The prompt places both figures “in a simple, softly lit setting inspired by image 1” and asks the model to keep each one’s own features, hair, body proportions and clothing. That makes the order of your two pictures the main control you have over style:

• Want a real-world scene with your character in it? Put your photo first.
• Want everything to look drawn? Put the character first, or use a drawn version of yourself so both pictures share one style.
• Two styles in one shot can blend: the character may pick up realistic skin and light, or you may come out slightly illustrated. The model decides how far; there is no style slider.

Use the optional direction line for one detail you care about, such as “she keeps her pink braid and blazer” or “he opens his arms first”. It can’t change the hug, the camera or the two identities.

• One character per picture. Crop a single pose out of a reference sheet or group illustration; extra figures can turn into a third person.
• Waist-up or full body with both arms visible. A head-only icon gives the model nothing to hug with.
• Face toward the viewer or at a three-quarter angle. Profile-only art makes the faces harder to keep apart once they touch.
• A plain or simple background. Speech bubbles, captions, signatures and logos on your art may be copied into the video, so remove them from your own file first.
• Transparent PNG art: place it on a flat background colour so the outline is clear.
• 300–6,000 px on each side, no wider than 2.5:1, JPG, PNG or WebP up to 10 MB.

Use characters you own or have permission to use: your own OC, art you drew, a commission whose licence allows derivative videos, a mascot your company owns, or a character whose creator said yes. This site’s terms don’t allow characters, logos or works you have no right to use, which rules out hugging a well-known anime, game or film character taken from a screenshot.

The same terms cover people: no photos of minors, no celebrities or public figures, and anyone recognizable in a photo must have agreed. The video model can also refuse an input on its own safety check; when it does, the credits come back automatically.

1. Add the two pictures. Image 1 sets the setting and look, so put your photo first for a real scene or the character first for a drawn one. Tick the box confirming you may use both.
2. Pick the hug and settings. Gentle (already close, they turn into a calm hug) or reunion (they notice each other, step closer and embrace). Then choose 5 or 10 seconds, 9:16 or 16:9, the model, resolution and sound.
3. Generate and download. Credits are charged when the video starts and returned if it fails. Most clips take 1–5 minutes; download the MP4 when it’s ready.

You can paste it into another two-reference video model such as Kling or Vidu. This page sends the same text, with the timings and the style line switched to match the options you pick.

Create a 5-second natural, affectionate hug video using exactly two uploaded identity-reference images. Image 1 defines person A; image 2 defines person B. Keep each person's own facial features, age, skin tone, hair, body proportions and clothing distinct throughout. Do not merge faces, swap identities or invent a third person. Place both people together in a simple, softly lit setting inspired by image 1. Match the lighting without changing either identity. Show both from at least the waist up with their arms visible. Use one steady eye-level medium shot, no cuts, zooms or photo transitions. Seconds 0–1.5: already standing close, they turn gently toward each other. Seconds 1.5–4: both slowly raise their arms and settle into a calm, comforting hug. Seconds 4–5: hold the hug with quiet breathing and a small smile; no dramatic gestures. Keep faces slightly offset at three-quarter angles so neither face passes through the other. Hands rest naturally on the shoulders or upper back, with no extra fingers, limbs or intersecting arms. No kissing, talking, fantasy transformations, angel wings, captions, logos or watermarks. Silent video, no music and no speech.

Each video is priced by model, length and resolution. Credits come in one-time packs; there is no subscription.

Dollar figures use the Pro pack rate: $49.90 for 4,990 credits, $0.01 per credit. Smaller packs cost a little more per credit.

The Starter pack (900 credits) covers 18 default videos (Mini, 5 s, 720p at 49 credits each), or 39 at 480p.

AI hug videos became a TikTok trend in late 2024, when people fed two separate photos, often themselves and a relative who had died, into image-to-video tools such as Luma’s Dream Machine and posted the hug that came out. Many hug tools now also accept an anime or cartoon character as one of the two pictures.
