Inputs
Create a cartoon video in seconds
Describe the scene and the action in plain language, and Artly renders lively cartoon clips. No camera, footage, or editing timeline — start from text alone.
Text-to-video and image-to-video
Generate a clip from a written prompt, or upload a still image and let Artly animate it. The same studio covers both flows.
Steps
- Write your scene — describe the subject, action, and mood, or use the prompt helper.
- Pick a cartoon video style and a video model.
- Review the displayed credit cost, then generate and download the video.
Parameters and controls
Every cartoon video style in one place
Switch between flat cartoon, 3D cartoon, retro, sketch and claymation look, and keep a consistent look across a set of clips.
Great for kids content, social skits and explainer clips
Use the Cartoon Video generator for kids content, social skits and explainer clips, then download the video for social, ads, or your project — results stay private to your account.
Failure modes and fixes
What to expect from a generated cartoon video
Text-to-video is the least predictable thing these models do: a prompt for lively cartoon clips often needs several attempts before the motion reads correctly, and long or multi-step actions drift far more than short ones. Write one acceptance test first — the single beat this cartoon video has to land — then compare two or three short generations against it. Stop at the first clean pass; if none land, choose a simpler action or a different style from flat cartoon, 3D cartoon, retro, sketch and claymation look. Legible on-screen text stays unreliable, so add titles for kids content, social skits and explainer clips afterwards rather than prompting for them.
