Using Video to Video AI, these transformations are fast, consistent, and customizable.

How It Works: Anime Your World with AI

Luma AI Video to Video tool uses deep generative models to understand the motion, structure, and mood of your footage. When you apply the Anime Style preset, the model redraws your content with clean lines, dynamic contrast, and stylized backgrounds all while preserving the original timing and flow.

Steps to create an anime-style video:

  • Upload any live-action video (people, pets, landscapes, etc.)
  • Select “Anime Style” in the Video to Video interface
  • Adjust the intensity of features like line sharpness or color saturation
  • Preview and export, no post-production needed

This isn’t just a filter. It’s a frame-by-frame recreation of your content in an entirely new aesthetic.
