Adobe Character Animator

Eye-opening animations. In eye-opening time.

Character Animator uses your expressions and movements to animate characters in real time. It’s so fast, you can livestream while you work, to wow audiences every step of the way.

Create a character in seconds.

Turn any art into an animated character with your webcam, powered by Adobe Sensei AI. Import art from Illustrator and Photoshop, or start with built-in character templates.

Put your best face forward.

Your performance can bring a character to life. Using your webcam and microphone, Character Animator matches your expressions — from syncing lips to tracking eyes — to animate in real time.

Animations with legs — and arms and heads.

Control gestures like waving with your keyboard or MIDI device. Movements can be saved as buttons, so they’re easier to remember than key commands.

See what new can do.

Character Animator is always getting better with new features rolling out regularly. And with your membership, you get them as soon as we release them.

Capture more with Scene Cameras

New scene cameras let you set up specific shots like wide, close-up, and zoom, and trigger between them for a more dynamic performance.

Create a moment with Keyframes

Keyframes let you animate behavior properties and adjust for timing and motion, like the effect of wind or gravity. Trigger them on the fly to add excitement to a live performance.

Trigger sound and movement

Make your scenes more impactful with audio replays, synced to your animation and performed whenever you want them.

Set your characters in motion

Like a sprinkle of fairy dust, motion lines can trail behind your character to convey movement and speed.
