Two ways to start: generate game art from a prompt — or upload your own art (PNG, JPG or WebP).

Start with your art: upload your own image (PNG, JPG or WebP) and we animate it.

Upload one full-body picture and get an idle loop, rigged as a weighted mesh. win is coming soon.

Templates and text edits

Templates

Proven motion sets with fixed timing, loop-perfect idles and clean returns to the first frame. Predictable result, fixed price.

Text edits

After a symbol or object animation is built, describe a change in your own words, such as a higher jump or a golden flash.

Quality is not guaranteed for edits (unlike templates); edits are paid in tokens.

Write a prompt or drop your image.Drop your image. What you get back:

Spine 4.2 export

skeleton.json + skeleton.atlas + PNG texture pages, straight alpha.

Weighted meshes

Bodies bend on bones instead of sliding as stiff cut-outs.

Physics

Hair, earrings and hems follow the motion with physics constraints.

Ready animations

Loop-perfect idle; win returns to idle's first frame for seamless chaining.

FAQ

What is Animate4Me?

Animate4Me is an AI 2D animation tool: it turns one image or a text promptyour image into a rigged, animated character or object and exports it in the Spine 2D format (Spine 4.2 JSON + atlas + PNG pages). It is built for game symbols, objects, characters and 2D games.

Can I auto rig a 2D character online?

Yes. Drop one picture of your character in the browser; Animate4Me splits it into parts, paints in the hidden areas, places the bones and builds weighted meshes and physics. You do not rig anything by hand.

Can I use my own image, or only a prompt?

Both. Describe a symbol or an object in a prompt, or upload your own image (PNG, JPG or WebP). The result is a ready Spine 2D animation: skeleton.json, skeleton.atlas and the texture pages.

What image can I upload?

Your own artwork: one image as PNG, JPG or WebP, up to 10 MB, at least 256 px. The result is a ready Spine 2D animation: skeleton.json, skeleton.atlas and the texture pages.

Do I need a Spine license?

The exported files are yours. To play them inside your own product with an official Spine Runtime you need your own Spine license from Esoteric Software, the same as for any Spine export.

How much does it cost?

You pay in tokens: a symbol or object animation costs 20 tokens, a character 60 tokens from your image or 70 tokens from a prompt, and a text edit 5 tokens. Tokens come with a plan from $19 a month for 300 tokens, and subscribers can add one-time top-ups from $9 for 100 tokens. See Pricing.

Is it a Spine alternative?

It is not a replacement for the Spine editor. Animate4Me produces Spine-format files for you, so for template animations you do not need to open an editor at all; if you own the editor you can import the JSON and keep editing.

Do you export Live2D?

Not yet. Today the export is Spine 2D: Spine 4.2 JSON + atlas + PNG pages.

Which game engines can use the export?

Any engine with a Spine 4.2 runtime: PixiJS, Phaser, Unity, Godot, Unreal, Cocos and plain web players among them.
