What Is Wan Animate?
Wan Animate is an AI video generation system developed by the Wan team. It focuses on two core capabilities:
Character Replacement – Keep the motion, rhythm, and background of the original video while swapping in a custom character image.
Expression Transfer – Capture facial details and expressions from the source video and accurately map them onto the new character.
Style Flexibility – Works across photography, illustrations, anime characters, game avatars, or even pets.
Built on the Wan2.2-Animate framework, the model combines diffusion techniques with transformer-based architectures to generate natural, detailed, and stylistically consistent results.
Our Web Demo
We’ve deployed a unified character replacement demo on wananimate.video
. Here’s what you can expect:
Browser-first workflow – Just upload a character image and a reference video.
No hardware required – No GPUs, no environment setup.
Fast results – Within minutes, you’ll receive an animated output.
Right now, our version still trails the official implementation in some areas — like edge refinement and lighting consistency in complex scenes — but we’re iterating quickly. Expect smoother, sharper results soon.
