Get a lifelike and post-ready mimic video now to stand out anywhere.

Create lifelike performances with mimic motion

Copy every pose and gesture with pinpoint accuracy

Copy the punch angle from UFC-style boxing, the precise hand placement from a yoga pose, or the signature stride from a runway walk. Pollo AI maps the reference video's poses, gestures, timing beats, and body trajectories onto your image, keeping every replicated action faithful to the source.

Keep mimic motion fluid and never stiff

Transfer fast dances, dramatic turns, and subtle gestures to your image with natural flow. Pollo AI carries the reference video's rhythm and momentum through clean, seamless transitions, so every action feels fluid and lifelike.

Keep your character consistent in motion

Put a portrait, AI avatar, character image or brand mascot through bold, energetic motion without sacrificing its identity. Pollo AI's mimic motion locks in the face, body proportions, outfit, and visual style, keeping your subject stable, recognizable, and distortion-free from the first frame to the last.

Start faster with ready-to-use templates

No reference video ready? Choose a motion template and watch your image dance, wave, pose, or perform in a few clicks. Try different movements to create social-ready videos without recording anything yourself. For a final polish, use our AI video editor to add text to the video or remove distractions.

Bring anime and game characters to life

Watch your anime hero dance, your game character fight, or your 3D mascot perform for the camera. Mimic motion transfers real human movement to 2D and 3D characters while preserving their signature design and art style, turning static character art into lively videos that entertain and engage fans.

    Easy to use, great results for short videos
    I’ve been using Pollo AI mainly for short videos and quick image-to-video tests. The interface is straightforward and it works well even with simple prompts, which is a big plus compared to tools that need long, complicated instructions. The results can be really impressive, and it’s honestly been fun to experiment with. I’d love a bit more consistency on faces when there’s movement, but overall it’s been a solid experience for what I needed.

    Awesome website
    Awesome website. loads of options and a great way to learn how to work with 'AI' my reasoning for 5 stars is based upon price, versatility and ease of use. Also I would like to add, Pollo AI runs a lot of promos on different AI products as well. I rate their customer service at 5 stars, when I purchased my first subscription my computer crashed the following weekend and I lost all my data and info passwords you name it I lost it, contacted pollo by email they responded quickly and found my info/username and account, and I was able to restore my account.

    I have been using Pollo AI for short videos. It is easy to use and works well with simple prompts. Other generators seem to need long drawn out complicated explanations to get even close to what I want.
