Hailuo AI video examples, from Hailuo 02 to H3

Clips from three generations of Hailuo models. Hover to play and turn the sound on where there is some. The box above runs H3, so any prompt you take from here renders on H3 Max or Turbo.

Hailuo 02No soundHover or tap to play

Hailuo 02: the elephant charge

A four-beat action prompt on Hailuo 02: a look, a turn, a run and an elephant crashing through. Ten seconds, and silent — Hailuo 02 makes no sound.

Show the prompt

The prompt behind this clip

A rugged man and fierce woman stand together in a dense jungle, both looking sharply off-screen with tense, alert expressions. [quick reaction] Their eyes widen suddenly as they exchange a brief look of panic. [turn and dash] They instantly turn and run in the opposite direction, vines and foliage whipping past. [sudden interruption] A massive elephant crashes into the scene from the side, charging through the jungle in a frenzy, knocking aside branches and shaking the ground as it storms past

Hailuo 2.3: styles in motion

A cut from MiniMax’s Hailuo 2.3 reel: game-CG, fantasy and anime shots, the styles 2.3 was built to hold steady. Shown without the reel’s music, since 2.3 makes none.

A prompt to start from

Stylized game-CG shot: a red dragon glides low over a medieval city at golden hour, wings beating heavily, the camera riding just behind its shoulder as banners and rooftops rush past below. Rich colors, painterly lighting, the roar of wind and wingbeats.

H3: macro detail

A gecko’s eye in close-up from MiniMax’s own H3 demo, scales and light rendered at its full size. Here H3 runs at up to 1080p.

Extreme macro shot of a crested gecko’s head against a black background. Its slit pupil slowly narrows, soft side light picks out every orange scale, and the gecko blinks once. Shallow depth of field, a faint terrarium hum.

H3: an animated title sequence

Fifteen seconds of noir film titles in one take, with the score made alongside the picture — the length and sound earlier Hailuo models did not have.

Show the prompt

A prompt to start from

An animated noir film title sequence in a flat graphic style, navy and orange. A vinyl record spins, a night train rushes past, a woman in a trench coat crosses a bridge in silhouette, and bold titles and credits slide in between the shots. Cool jazz score with a walking bass line.

H3: a game character reveal

A stylized 3D character, an equipment menu and a city walk-out, with interface sounds and music generated in the same pass.

Show the prompt

A prompt to start from

A 3D-animated game character select screen: a pink-haired punk girl with a mechanical arm sits beside an equipment menu, a cursor picks a claw upgrade and her arm transforms with a metallic clank. A loading bar fills, then she walks out into a neon cyberpunk street. Interface clicks and an electronic beat.

H3 Max: two spoken lines

Rendered here on H3 Max at 768p: two characters, two lines of dialogue and lip sync from a single text prompt.

Show the prompt

The prompt behind this clip

Exactly 5 seconds. Inside a bright sterile laboratory, a cryogenic chamber opens and cold vapor spills across the floor. A confused man slowly sits up. A scientist steps forward and says, “Welcome back.” The man asks, “What year is it?” The scientist hesitates as the camera gently pulls backward. Photorealistic Hollywood science-fiction drama, soft white daylight, realistic vapor, restrained acting, accurate lip sync, no extreme close-up.

What is Hailuo AI?

Hailuo AI is the AI video generator from MiniMax, the Shanghai AI company that also makes the M-series language models and MiniMax Speech. It launched worldwide in 2024 with a text-to-video model called Video-01, and its name — 海螺, “sea snail” — comes from MiniMax’s Chinese app. In the Hailuo app you write a prompt or upload an image and get a short clip back.

Each new model moved the app forward: Hailuo 02 in June 2025 brought 1080p and much better physics, Hailuo 2.3 in October 2025 sharper body movement, facial expression and art styles, and MiniMax H3 in July 2026 sound generated with the picture — dialogue with lip sync, effects and music — in takes of up to 15 seconds.

ToonBee AI is not the Hailuo app. It runs the H3 family only, as H3 Max and H3 Max Turbo — the versions fal post-trained on top of the open H3 weights — through fal. So you get the newest Hailuo model in a browser, next to the other video models on the site, without MiniMax’s 2K tier and without the older Hailuo models.

Hailuo models, from Video-01 to H3

Every main Hailuo video model so far, with what it could do at launch. Only the newest can be used on ToonBee AI.

ModelReleasedMax sizeLengthSoundOn ToonBee AI
Video-01Sep 2024720p6sNoNo

MiniMax H3Jul 20262KUp to 15sYesYes, as H3 Max and H3 Max Turbo (480p–1080p)

Why only H3? Hailuo 02 and 2.3 are silent and stop at 10 seconds, and per second they cost about as much as H3 Max — H3 Max Turbo comes in at half that. The older models would add nothing here that H3 does not do better.

H3 Max in depth: samples, specs and a comparison with every model

How to make a Hailuo AI video here

  1. 1

    Describe the shot, or add an image

    Write who is in it, what happens and how the camera moves, and put spoken lines in quotes. Or add an image to animate it from the first frame.

  2. 2

    Choose speed or quality

    H3 Max Turbo is the box’s default and the cheapest; H3 Max gives the best result and reads reference images. Set 480p, 768p or 1080p and 5–15 seconds — the credit cost updates as you go.

  3. 3

    Generate, watch, download

    Press Generate video. Most clips are back in under a minute, with their sound, and download as MP4 with no watermark.

Hailuo AI app or ToonBee AI?

The Hailuo AI app

MiniMax’s own app and API, with every Hailuo model, ready-made templates, an agent mode and H3 at up to 2K. It has a free trial and its own paid plans.

H3 on ToonBee AI

The H3 family only, as fal’s H3 Max and H3 Max Turbo, at 480p, 768p or 1080p. Pay per clip in credits with the cost shown first, no watermark, and commercial use on every plan.

More models in the same box

Run one prompt on H3, then on Seedance, Kling or Wan without leaving the page, and keep whichever take works. The Hailuo app has only MiniMax’s models.

Whole videos, not just clips

When one clip is not enough, the story video generator turns an idea or a script into a narrated video of several scenes.

What you get with Hailuo AI H3 here

Sound with the picture

Voices, effects, ambience and music come out of the same render. Quote a line and the character says it, lips in sync.

Physical, believable motion

The weight and timing Hailuo is known for: catches, falls, fabric, hair and water that move like they should.

Text, image or two frames

Start from words, animate a still, or set a first and a last frame. H3 Max also keeps a character on model from reference images.

5–15 seconds in one take

Longer than any earlier Hailuo model, in 21:9, 16:9, 4:3, 1:1, 3:4 or 9:16.

Fast enough to iterate

H3 is the quickest model on the site, so trying a prompt three ways takes minutes.

Credits back on failures

The cost shows before you generate, and a failed generation refunds its credits automatically.

Is Hailuo AI free?

The Hailuo AI app has a free trial, then charges by plan. MiniMax’s H3 weights are free to download, but running them needs your own high-end GPU.

On ToonBee AI, signing up is free and clips are paid for in credits, with the cost on the button before you press it. A 5-second H3 Max Turbo clip is 63 credits at 480p, 100 at 768p and 200 at 1080p; H3 Max is 125, 200 and 400. Longer clips scale by the second.

Credit packs start at $49 for 4,000 credits that never expire, and plans at $39 a month for 5,000 credits. Downloads carry no watermark and can be used commercially.

Before you start

  • Hailuo 02, Hailuo 2.3 and Video-01 are not available here — only the H3 family, as H3 Max and H3 Max Turbo.
  • Clips are 480p, 768p or 1080p (1080p is refined from the 768p render). The Hailuo app’s 2K is not offered.
  • A clip runs 5–15 seconds. For longer videos, ToonBee 1.0 edits one from 15 seconds, and the story video generator makes narrated videos of several minutes.
  • Faces can drift over a long take without an image to hold them. Start from an image, or give H3 Max reference images.
  • Hailuo app templates, agent mode and the official Hailuo account are not part of this site.

Hailuo AI FAQ

What is Hailuo AI?

Hailuo AI is MiniMax’s AI video generator. You type a prompt or upload an image and it makes a short video clip. It launched in 2024 and has moved through several models: Video-01, Hailuo 02, Hailuo 2.3 and, since July 2026, MiniMax H3.

Is Hailuo AI the same as MiniMax?

MiniMax is the company; Hailuo AI is its video product, which is why you often see “MiniMax Hailuo AI”. MiniMax also makes language models (the M series) and speech and music models.

Is Hailuo AI free?

The Hailuo AI app offers a free trial and paid plans. On ToonBee AI the account is free and clips use paid credits: a 5-second H3 Max Turbo clip starts at 63 credits, and credit packs start at $49.

What is the newest Hailuo model?

MiniMax H3, released on July 31, 2026. It is the first Hailuo model to make sound with the picture — speech with lip sync, effects and music — and it runs up to 15 seconds in one take. People also call it Hailuo H3 or Hailuo 3.

Hailuo 02 vs Hailuo 2.3 vs H3: what changed?

Hailuo 02 (June 2025) brought native 1080p and strong physics. Hailuo 2.3 (October 2025) improved body movement, facial expressions and stylized looks such as anime and game CG. H3 (July 2026) added native audio and 15-second takes. Hailuo 02 and 2.3 make silent clips of 6 or 10 seconds.

Can I use Hailuo 02 or Hailuo 2.3 here?

No. ToonBee AI runs only the H3 family. Hailuo 02 and 2.3 are silent, stop at 10 seconds and cost about the same per second as H3 Max, while H3 Max Turbo costs half — so H3 is the better pick for what they do.

Is this the official Hailuo AI website?

No. ToonBee AI is an independent video generator, not affiliated with MiniMax or Hailuo AI. It runs H3 Max and H3 Max Turbo, fal’s post-trained versions of MiniMax H3, through fal. The official Hailuo app is at hailuoai.video.

Does Hailuo AI make videos with sound?

Only the newest model does. H3 generates dialogue, effects and music with the picture; earlier Hailuo models make silent clips. Everything you generate on this page uses H3, so it comes with sound.

How long can a Hailuo AI video be?

On ToonBee AI each clip is 5–15 seconds, at 480p, 768p or 1080p. The older Hailuo 02 and 2.3 topped out at 10 seconds.

Can Hailuo AI turn a photo into a video?

Yes. Add an image and H3 animates it from the first frame, or set a first and a last frame to control where the shot ends. H3 Max can also take reference images to keep a person or product consistent.

Do Hailuo AI videos have a watermark?

Videos made on ToonBee AI download with no watermark, and every plan covers commercial use.

Hailuo AI vs Kling or Seedance: which is better?

It depends on the shot. H3 is the cheapest and fastest of them here and makes sound; Seedance 2.5 runs longer takes, up to 30 seconds. All of them are in the same box on ToonBee AI, so the simplest test is to run one prompt on each.

How do I write a good Hailuo AI prompt?

Describe one shot: the subject, one main action, the camera and the light, then any spoken line in quotes. Concrete verbs beat adjectives — “she spins and catches it” works better than “dynamic scene”. The prompts under the examples above are good starting points. Read the H3 prompt guide
