OVERVIEW

What is AnimGen AI?

AnimGen is an AI-powered animation generator built specifically for game developers. It turns static character artwork into animated game assets by generating motion previews from images, allowing users to review and trim the useful part of an animation before exporting it. Users can create sprite sheets, PNG frame sequences, videos, transparent animation assets, and engine-ready packages for platforms such as Unity, Godot, Unreal, and Cocos Creator. AnimGen also provides a public beta API for developers who want to integrate animation generation into their own applications.
