About Animaker
Swapped its timeline-and-character editor for a prompt box, then added one input mode a month.
Animaker spent a decade as a template-and-character animation editor and has now rebuilt around generation. The October 2025 release turned a single prompt into a full-length video, and every release since has been a new way to feed that same engine: text for clips, a CSV for infographic videos, and as of July 2026 a still image for motion. Older entries show the transition mid-flight — AI 2.0 in February 2025 still framed generation as an upgrade to the animation product, while the healthcare character-action pack from August 2025 belongs entirely to the library era.
