About Hailuo 2.3
MiniMax Hailuo 2.3 is an image-to-video model that brings a single still picture to life. You upload one image, describe the motion you want in a text prompt, and Hailuo 2.3 animates the frame into a short clip that follows your direction while keeping the look of your original image.
On HexGen you can choose between two quality tiers, Standard and Pro, and render at 768P or 1080P. Clips run 6 or 10 seconds at 768P, while 1080P focuses on crisp 6-second output. Because the model animates your supplied frame, the result keeps the aspect ratio of the image you upload, so the framing stays exactly as you composed it.
Pricing is a simple flat charge per video. Each combination of tier, resolution, and duration has its own fixed credit price, so you always know the cost before you generate. Output videos are silent, which makes Hailuo 2.3 a strong starting point for adding your own music, voiceover, or sound design afterward.
Starting points
Copy, tweak, and run. Good prompts get you most of the way there.
Slow push-in on the portrait, hair drifting in a gentle breeze, soft cinematic light
The product slowly rotates on its turntable, studio reflections sliding across the surface
Camera drifts forward through the painted landscape, clouds rolling and light shifting
Pay only for what you render. 1 USD = 1,000 HGcoins. HGcoins never expire and failed runs refund automatically.
