How do I make a cartoon with Kartoonz?
Kartoonz turns one idea into a finished cartoon with characters and word-by-word captions, from 15 seconds to 8 minutes, in 720p. It is priced once for the whole cartoon by length and tier: 252 credits a minute on Ultra, 189 on Pro and 63 on Lite.
- Open Kartoonz and describe your cartoon in a line or two: what happens and who it stars.
- Optional: add characters or pictures from your uploads, generations or saved assets. The first one leads the story; with none, a character is designed from your idea.
- Pick a style (3D cartoon, anime, comic book and claymation), a shape (9:16, 1:1 or 16:9), a length from 15 seconds to 8 minutes and a tier (Ultra, Pro or Lite).
- Choose captions: one of 3 looks and 1 to 4 words per line, or off.
- Press Make my cartoon (the credit price is on the button), or Shape the story first to edit the story before anything is made.
- Download with or without subtitles, or save the cartoon to your assets.
How much does a cartoon cost?
- Ultra (Seedance 2.5): 252 credits a minute, 2016 for 8 minutes.
- Pro (Seedance 2.0): 189 credits a minute, 1512 for 8 minutes.
- Lite (Seedance 2.0 Mini): 63 credits a minute; the shortest cartoon (15 seconds) costs 16.
- Captions are included. Every tier delivers 720p.
The whole cartoon is charged once, when it starts. If your balance is too low, nothing is charged. If the cartoon fails before anything has been animated, the credits go back to your balance automatically.
Which plan do I need?
Any signed-in account with enough credits can make a cartoon; no particular plan is needed. Credits come with every plan, or from a credit pack.
Got any questions left?
How long can a cartoon be?
From 15 seconds up to 8 minutes: the slider starts at 15 seconds, then goes up a minute at a time.
Can I keep my own character?
Yes. Add it from your uploads, generations or saved assets and it leads the whole story. Only use images you have the rights to.
Can I download it without captions?
Yes. With captions on, you can download the cartoon with or without subtitles.
Can I use Kartoonz for a faceless YouTube, TikTok or Reels account?
Yes: make landscape 16:9 cartoons for YouTube and portrait 9:16 for Shorts, TikTok and Reels. Kartoonz can't promise views or income. YouTube's monetization rules require original, authentic content (mass-produced or repetitive videos aren't eligible), so make a new story for every video.
