What it is
Krikey AI creates 3D character animations from text prompts or video uploads, with a browser-based editor for further changes. Users can make talking avatars, customize characters, design poses, and use face animation tools. The editor lets them adjust lip-synced dialogue, backgrounds, expressions, hand gestures, and camera angles. Exports include MP4, GIF, PNG, and FBX files, and teams can edit projects simultaneously in the web editor. Listed integrations and export workflows include Canva, Adobe Express, Unity, Unreal Engine, Godot, Roblox, Blender, Maya, ZBrush, and Omniverse. Krikey says its ElevenLabs integration supports speaking and singing characters in over 20 languages with lip synchronization. The free plan costs nothing and includes 20 one-time credits. Pro costs $15 a month with 165 monthly credits; Teams costs $10 a month with 200 monthly credits per person and a three-person minimum. The animation tool currently covers bipedal characters only. Krikey identifies educators, students, storytellers, businesses, social media teams, marketing agencies, small businesses, and indie game developers among its users.
