AI animation studioCartoon videos from a single sentence.
Motion2D is an AI animated video maker. Give it a topic, a script or a YouTube link. It researches the facts, writes the story, draws every scene and narrates it, so you get a finished animation instead of a blank timeline.
Plans from $20 a month. No drawing, no editing software, no watermark.
Real footage in, cartoon out. Drag the line to compare.

From text to animation, without the timeline
Most animation tools hand you a canvas and a library of puppets. Motion2D starts from the words. Type what the video is about and it plans scenes, characters, camera moves and narration for you.
- Start from a topic, your own script or a YouTube link
- Scenes, characters and backgrounds drawn for each story
- A natural voiceover with matching captions
Paste a YouTube link, get a brand-new animated video
Found a video your audience would love as a cartoon? Paste its link. Motion2D reads the video's title, and its transcript if you add it, as research only, then writes and animates a new, original video on the same topic.
- Works with public YouTube videos
- Paste the transcript for a closer match
- New script, characters and scenes: nothing is copied
It does the research before it writes
An explainer is only as good as its facts. Before writing a single line, Motion2D reads up on your topic from Wikipedia and the web, then builds the script around what it found.
- Facts gathered before the script
- Good for history, science, health and news topics
- Paste your own script to control every word
Shorts, long videos and everything between
Pick widescreen for YouTube or vertical 9:16 for Shorts, Reels and TikTok. Make a 30-second hook or a 15-minute deep dive, then extend it later if the story needs more room.
- 9:16 and 16:9 in 720p or 1080p
- 30 seconds to 15 minutes per video
- Extend a finished video without starting over
Your language, or your own voice
Narrate in English, Urdu, Hindi, Arabic, Spanish, French, German, Turkish, Indonesian, Portuguese or Bengali. Or record a short sample and the whole video speaks in your voice.
- 11 languages, each with a male and female voice
- Captions written in the same language
- Your own voice, with your consent built in
Turn your own footage into a cartoon
Already filmed something? Upload it and Motion2D redraws the people and the scene as clean cartoon animation, following the original movement without the jitter.
- Up to 8 people in a shot
- Smooth, directed motion instead of raw tracking
- Keep the original audio, add subtitles if you like
