Live Portrait AI animates static portrait photos into lifelike videos using AI-driven facial reenactment. Upload a still image, choose a driving video, and the tool maps head movement, expressions, blinks, and lip-sync onto your photo. It supports real photos, artwork, cartoons, and even animal images. Built on Kuaishou's open-source LivePortrait model, it's used by content creators, marketers, educators, and hobbyists who want to add motion to static images without complex video editing skills.

• Photo-to-Video Animation: Upload a portrait and a driving video to generate realistic animated output with synchronized facial expressions and head movement.
• Multi-Face Support: Animate multiple faces within a single image and stitch them back into the original photo.
• Eye and Lip Retargeting: Fine-tune eye and mouth movements for more natural blinks, gaze, and speech animation.
• Broad Style Compatibility: Works with real photos, oil paintings, sculptures, 3D renders, cartoons, and anime characters.
• Animal Animation: Animate pets and wildlife photos with head tilts, blinks, and expressions.
• Fast Generation: Produces animated outputs within seconds using an implicit keypoint framework.
