Make your character
Describe your character, or upload a picture of one you already have. Pick a pose that gives the movement a clear starting point.
AI ANIMATED CHARACTER GENERATOR
Animated mascotswith a lot of character.
Describe a character or upload one, then turn it into a wave, a working loop or a wildly proud celebration. Every animated character comes out as a transparent video that fits your product.
One character. Every little moment.
Start with an approved pose, describe the movement, and preview the result. Build a library of actions around the same character reference.
Describe the performance
Ask for a calm idle, a focused working loop, or a one-off reaction. Generate transitions between two poses when you need a specific beginning and end.
Bring it into your product
Download the finished media or publish hosted asset links. Your app decides when to play each animation.
Loops and reactions
Use a quiet loop for an ongoing activity and a short reaction for a completed task. Preview the motion before putting it in your interface.
Follow the image-to-animation guideTransparent backgrounds
WebM and HEVC with alpha let the mascot sit over your own colors and layouts. Standard H.264 MP4 output has an opaque background.
From motion to behavior
Connect poses and transitions in the canvas when the character needs to respond to app events.

A few questions.
we were hoping you’d ask.
What is an animated character generator?
An animated character generator, or animated character maker, turns a still character into motion. Masko starts from one picture or a short description and makes short transparent videos of that same character: an idle loop, a wave, a reaction to something in your app.
What is an animated mascot?
A brand or app character that moves: it waves hello, keeps busy while your app works and reacts when something happens. Masko makes each move as a transparent video of the same mascot.
How do I create an animated character?
Describe the character or upload a picture of it, then describe a movement. Masko draws the pose and animates it into a five-second loop in a few minutes, for 11 credits on Standard.
Follow the step-by-step tutorialCan I make my own animated character for free?
New accounts start with 21 free credits: enough for a character at 1 credit and a first five-second animation at 11. More credits are paid.
See what each generation costsWhich characters can I animate?
Illustrated characters work best: mascots, cartoon animals and game or story characters. Masko reads your reference picture before every animation, so each clip shows the same character.
Can I animate an existing mascot?
Yes. Start from your reference artwork, create or choose a pose, and describe the motion. Review generated results for character consistency and movement.
Which transparent video format should I use?
Masko produces WebM with VP9 for compatible browsers and HEVC with alpha for supported Apple playback. Test the intended browser or native player with the exported files.
Animation formats and generationCan I generate animations through an API?
Yes. The REST API supports animation generation, job tracking, and asset retrieval. Generation uses credits.
Read the animation API guideDo I need a Mac to create animations?
You can create assets in the web studio. The native desktop runtime is a separate way to display and control them on a Mac.
