Hailuo AI Video Generator — Try Free 2026
Run Hailuo AI video generation free in your browser — no install, no credit card. Fast AI video from any text or image prompt.
Hailuo AI is MiniMax's video generation model — one of the strongest publicly available text-to-video systems, especially for motion coherence and camera movement. This page runs Hailuo directly in your browser with no signup required for short test generations. For longer or higher-resolution output, a free account gets you daily credits.
Hailuo is best at three things specifically. Motion coherence — unlike many AI video models that degrade after a few seconds, Hailuo maintains subject consistency across 6-10 second clips without morphing or melting. Camera movement — you can prompt specific shots ("dolly in," "pan left," "tracking shot from behind") and Hailuo actually executes them rather than ignoring the camera direction. And physical realism — objects maintain mass and gravity, water behaves like water, and hair follows actual motion laws better than most competitors.
The model works in two modes. Text-to-video generates a clip from a written prompt in 30-60 seconds for 720p output. Image-to-video takes a still image as the first frame and animates it based on your motion prompt, which is the better mode for character-consistent scenes or matching an existing brand look. Both modes support aspect ratio selection (16:9, 9:16, 1:1) so you can export directly for YouTube, TikTok, or Instagram without re-cropping.
Compared to alternatives, Hailuo sits between Runway Gen-3 (higher quality but costs ~$15 per minute of video) and open-source models like Mochi-1 (free but requires a GPU). Running Hailuo on BasedLabs gives you the quality of commercial models with a free tier — daily credits refresh at midnight UTC. For production work with unlimited generations, a paid plan unlocks queue priority and 1080p output. Most users never hit the free cap for casual or testing use.
Common use cases: concept animation for product demos, music video B-roll, animated social posts, anime-style short clips (Hailuo has strong anime coherence), and prototyping storyboards for larger productions.

Cinematic power, minus the studio
Hailuo AI—now upgraded with Hailuo 02 technology—lets you turn any prompt into a 5-second HD clip in under two minutes. The engine layers MiniMax’s cinematic effects on top of your ideas, so even a simple brief like “neon rain in Shanghai” emerges with film-grade color, depth, and motion. When you need longer narratives, jump over to our broader pro video workspace for multi-shot control.
Effortless crossover with other viral formats
Need a quick reaction GIF or a meme remix? Export your fresh Hailuo clip straight into the AI GIF Generator or spin a cryptid cameo with the Bigfoot video maker in one click. Cross-tool credit sharing means you keep creating instead of re-uploading.
Prompt-perfect realism—now rivaling Veo 3 and Seedance
By leveraging Minimax Hailuo AI’s tight prompt adherence, the model captures subtle details like lens flares, shadow depth, or character eye lines that other generators miss. If you’re comparing Veo 3 vs. Hailuo AI or the new Seedance 1.0 Pro, you’ll notice Hailuo’s motion smoothness and style fidelity sit comfortably alongside these flagship engines.
Mobile-first, credit-flexible workflow
Generate, review, and repost directly from your phone—ideal for on-the-go creators who want TikTok-ready output without desktop software. Clips cost 300 credits (shared with other BasedLabs tools), so you can balance Hailuo AI Video jobs with image-to-video experiments in our quick converter under the same wallet.
Global voice & text support
Create multilingual supers or VO tracks in 70+ languages, perfect for global campaigns. Whether you’re crafting K-pop promos or Italian-brainrot parodies, Hailuo AI minimax handles non-Latin characters and right-to-left scripts out of the box.
