Animaker

Animaker is an online platform for creating animated videos and video presentations, with a visual editor, a character library, ready-made templates and AI video generation from a text prompt.

It is used by marketing, training and communication teams that need to explain products, processes and concepts on video without hiring an animation studio. Users build scenes with characters, objects and images, or describe the idea in a prompt and let the AI generate a video with characters, scene elements and voiceover.

The vendor highlights a library of more than a thousand characters, a custom character builder, thousands of video templates, synthetic voices in more than 100 languages and automatic lip sync between the voice and the character. There is also an AI video generator that builds the script, visuals, voiceover and music from a prompt.

The counts of characters, voices and languages come from the vendor itself and vary between pages of the site.

Animaker has a free plan, with a watermark on exported videos, and three paid plans billed yearly: Basic, Starter and Pro. There is also Enterprise, priced on request.

• Basic: $15 per month, billed yearly ($180 per year).
• Starter: $25 per month, billed yearly ($300 per year).
• Pro: $43 per month, billed yearly ($516 per year).
• Enterprise: quoted on request.

Paid plans export without a watermark. Pro adds to Starter more premium downloads, longer videos, 2K quality, commercial rights and version history. Enterprise adds unlimited premium downloads, 4K quality, resale rights, live collaboration and a brand kit. The vendor says annual payment saves up to 45%, and one of its pages mentions monthly billing, but with no confirmed price.

List prices published by the vendor, checked in October 2026. Through Nexforce Marketplace, Animaker can be purchased in Brazilian reais, with a Brazilian tax invoice.

The main features of Animaker are the visual scene editor, the character library, video templates, synthetic voices and AI video generation from text.

• Visual editor: builds scenes by combining characters, objects, images and text, and works for people who have never edited video.
• Characters: a library of more than a thousand characters and a custom character builder, with limits by plan.
• Templates: thousands of video templates, organized into dozens of categories, to cut the initial work.
• Voice: text converted into narration in more than 100 languages and accents, with automatic lip sync.
• AI: from a prompt, it generates an animated video with characters and voiceover, which can be refined in Advanced Edit mode. The Gen AI video generator and the image-to-video generator sit in the same area.
• Export: 720p to 2K quality on paid plans, and 4K on Enterprise.

Animaker is worth it for teams that need animated explainer videos with little editing experience; it pays off less for anyone who needs 4K export or film-level control.

Pros:

• The library has more than a thousand characters and a custom character builder, so nobody has to draw animation from scratch.
• The same editor generates videos from a prompt and lets you refine the result afterward.
• Synthetic voice covers more than 100 languages, with automatic lip sync, which helps with Portuguese, English and Spanish versions.
• The Basic plan costs $15 per month on annual billing, and every paid plan removes the watermark.

Cons:

• Commercial rights appear only from the Pro plan, at $43 per month on annual payment.
• 4K quality and unlimited premium downloads are restricted to Enterprise, which is quoted on request.
• The free plan exports with a watermark.
• Third-party pages and aggregators list prices different from those published by the vendor, so only the official page is worth trusting.

The main alternatives to Animaker are Vyond, Canva, Synthesia and Adobe Creative Cloud, and the choice depends on whether the video is animated, presented by an avatar or edited from scratch.

• Vyond: also builds animated character videos for business use, and is the competitor that Animaker itself compares against on one of its pages.
• Canva: browser-based design editor with video templates, better suited to short marketing pieces than to character-and-scene animation.
• Synthesia: generates videos with presenter avatars from a script, instead of animated scenes assembled by the user.
• Adobe Creative Cloud: After Effects and Premiere give full control over animation and editing, with a steeper learning curve and a pricier subscription than Animaker.
