ToonCrafter

ToonCrafter is an AI animation research tool that brings static cartoon images to life by generating smooth transitions between frames. It uses image interpolation technology to create movement between existing illustrations, helping users produce short animated sequences from still artwork. The tool is useful for artists, researchers, animators, and creators exploring AI-assisted animation workflows. Instead of manually drawing every frame, users can experiment with automated motion generation to speed up the animation process. ToonCrafter demonstrates how AI can support creative production by reducing repetitive animation work while helping creators explore new possibilities for bringing illustrated characters and scenes into motion.
