Hailuo AI Video Generator
Turn a prompt or a single image into expressive, cinematic video with true-to-life physics and lifelike motion using the Hailuo AI Video Generator on OpenArt.
Key Features of Hailuo AI Video Generator
OpenArt gives you the latest MiniMax models, Hailuo 02 and the newer Hailuo 2.3, in one workspace. It is a storyteller's model, tuned for expressive characters, fluid motion, and physically accurate scenes.
Native 1080p Generation
Hailuo renders true 1080p (1920x1080) natively, with no upscaling step in between. Its Noise-aware Compute Redistribution architecture makes that high-resolution output efficient and affordable, so sharp detail is the starting point rather than a paid extra.
Try it NowText and Image to Video
Both Hailuo models work from a written prompt or a reference image. Start from a described scene, or upload an image and let Hailuo animate it while keeping the subject's look intact.
Try it NowExtreme Physics Mastery
Hailuo models real-world physics like gravity, fluid dynamics, collisions, and material behavior, so motion reads as believable. This is where Hailuo earned its reputation: an early version placed second globally on the Artificial Analysis Video Arena, and MiniMax showed it handling scenes as demanding as gymnastics.
Try it NowLifelike Facial Performance
Hailuo 2.3 sharpens live-action faces and micro-expressions, so a character's emotional arc is easy to read. Subtle shifts in expression carry the story, which makes the model a strong fit for close-ups and character-driven scenes.
Try it NowFluid Cinematic Motion
Hailuo 2.3 renders complex body movement with more fluidity, naturalness, and control, even under dynamic camera moves. Lighting direction, shadow transitions, and color tones stay near-photorealistic as the shot moves, so the footage feels shot rather than generated.
Try it NowHow to Use Hailuo on OpenArt
Three steps take you from idea to finished clip.
Choose Your Model
Open OpenArt's video tools and select Hailuo from the model menu. Pick Hailuo 2.3 for expression and style or Hailuo 02 for physics-heavy scenes, then choose text-to-video or image-to-video.
Prompt & Add References
Describe your subject, action, camera movement, and lighting, or upload a reference image to set the look. The more shot direction you give, the closer the result.
Generate and Refine
Set your resolution and clip length, then generate. Review the result and adjust your prompt or settings, using Enhance Prompt to tighten weak descriptions.
Built for Expressive, Character-Driven Video Content
Hailuo delivers the most value when a project depends on believable characters, motion, and mood. Here is where its strengths map directly to real work.
Character-Driven Short Films
Hailuo keeps a subject coherent from frame to frame while reading emotion through the face and body. A dialogue scene can hold the same character across shots, with expressions that shift to match the moment. That consistency lets a short film read as one continuous story rather than a set of disconnected clips.
Try it NowCinematic Ads and Product Spots
Hailuo 2.3 responds more accurately to motion commands for objects, which lifts the hit rate on polished commercial shots. A product ad can open on a wide hero shot, push in as the item moves, and hold clean lighting throughout. Beta creators making e-commerce ads saw a clear jump in usable, high-quality output.
Try it NowAnime and Stylized Scenes
With native support for anime, illustration, ink wash, and game CG, Hailuo 2.3 turns one prompt into a fully stylized scene. Colors stay vivid and motion stays stable across frames, so a stylized short does not flatten into flicker. This makes it practical for creators who work outside photorealism.
Try it NowSocial Content at Scale
Hailuo 2.3 Fast generates at a lower price and cuts batch creation costs by up to 50%, which suits high-volume social output. You can spin up many variants of a clip for TikTok, Reels, and Shorts, then keep the ones that land. That turns a costly production cycle into a batch of quick prompt edits.
Try it NowTips for Best Results
Describe motion and camera
Name the body movement, the camera move, and the pacing you want. Hailuo reads this direction from plain text, so specific shot language produces more intentional motion.
Start from a strong image
For image-to-video, the input image sets the look and identity of the whole clip. Begin with a clean, well-composed frame and Hailuo carries that quality through the motion.
Match the model to the job
Reach for Hailuo 2.3 when expression, style, or camera work matter most, and Hailuo 02 for physics-heavy action. Use 2.3 Fast when you need many clips quickly and cheaply.
Refine with Auto Polish
Iterate in small steps rather than rewriting everything at once. Use Auto Polish toggle to sharpen vague descriptions in your prompts.
