HAILUO, ANSWERED
Is Hailuo AI free to use?
Yes to start: the free credits you get on sign-up cover a 6-second Hailuo clip at 512P, which costs 13 credits — enough for two or three tries before you spend anything. After that it is pay-per-video with credits, with no subscription and nothing charged until you press Make Video.
How much does Hailuo AI cost?
Hailuo is priced per clip rather than per second, which keeps the tiers easy to compare: a 6-second video is 13 credits at 512P, 23 on 2.3 Fast Standard, 34 on 2.3 Standard, and 59 on 2.3 Pro at 1080P. The exact number sits on the Make Video button before anything is spent. Credits are bought in packs, not by subscription.
Can I use Hailuo AI online without an app?
Yes. Photo to Video runs Hailuo entirely in your browser: sign in, upload an image or write a prompt, pick a tier, and generate. Nothing to download and no waitlist. A companion iOS app is available if you prefer one, and it shares the same account and the same credits.
What is Hailuo AI best at?
Physics and body movement. Hailuo 2.3 leads WorldModelBench on physical accuracy — mass, fluids, and cloth behave the way they should rather than the way a prompt wishes — and it holds together through dance and fast choreography where stiffer models come apart. It is also unusually good with stylised source art: anime, ink wash, and game CG survive the motion instead of melting into it.
Does Hailuo generate audio?
No — Hailuo renders silent video and spends its whole budget on motion, which is part of why it is cheap and quick. If you want native sound, switch to Seedance 2.0, Kling V3 Turbo, or Vidu in the same model menu; your image and prompt carry over, so it costs you nothing but the new generation.
Hailuo 2.3 vs Hailuo 02 — which am I using?
The resolution picker decides, not the model menu: 512P runs Hailuo 02, the older and cheaper generation, while 768P and 1080P run Hailuo 2.3. The gap is largest on motion — 2.3 is the version that earned the physics reputation, so a shot that falls apart at 512P is often worth one retry at 768P before you blame the prompt.
Is this the official Hailuo AI website?
No. Photo to Video is an independent product by Joseph Works Limited that runs Hailuo — MiniMax's video model — through official API partners. We are not affiliated with or endorsed by MiniMax. The upside: Seedance, Kling, Wan, Veo, Sora, and every other top model are one click away in the same generator.
