Image to Claymation

Image to Claymation is an AI image-editing tool that rebuilds ordinary photos as handcrafted-looking clay scenes in a stop-motion style. It works with portraits, pets, products, food, buildings and travel photos, and suits people who want clay-style avatars, keepsakes or product concept visuals. It calls itself an independent creative tool and currently produces still images only, with a claymation video feature still in development.

A user uploads a JPEG, PNG or WebP image up to 10 MB, picks one of three clay presets, chooses a frame and can add one short direction, such as keeping a particular scarf or package color. The browser strips embedded metadata and compresses the file before it goes to Replicate for processing. A before-and-after slider shows the source beside the result before the JPG is downloaded.

The three presets are Classic, Soft Sculpt and Cinematic, and each changes the material, lighting and miniature-set character. Framing can match the original or use 1:1, 4:5 or 16:9 crops, and one run can return one, two or four images. Focused pages handle pets, portraits and full-figure characters, and free browser planners help with stop-motion work such as frame rates, storyboards, lighting and shot lists.

Every account gets 10 free credits once, enough for two watermarked images at 5 credits each. Creator and Studio subscriptions add 60 or 300 credits a month, remove the watermark and unlock a private mode; monthly credits do not roll over. Source images are never auto-published, and the processing provider's files normally expire after about one hour. Commercial use is allowed when the user holds rights to the source image.
