What Hailuo 2.3 does
Hailuo 2.3 by MiniMax turns a reference image into a high-fidelity AI video with realistic motion, facial micro-expressions, and a range of art styles. It comes in two tiers: Standard, and Pro with enhanced quality, cinematic realism, and more detailed motion. Both generate 6- or 10-second clips at 768p or 1080p (10 seconds at 768p only).
- Image-to-Video
- Upload one reference image and describe the motion — Hailuo 2.3 animates it into a video. A reference image is required.
- Realistic Motion & Micro-Expressions
- Lifelike human motion and facial micro-expressions — gestures, emotions, and natural character movement.
- Standard & Pro Tiers
- Standard for high-fidelity video with realistic motion; Pro for enhanced quality, cinematic realism, and more detailed motion. Both offer 768p and 1080p.
- Camera & Style Control
- Direct camera moves in the prompt — pans, tilts, zooms, tracking shots — and set the style: cinematic, anime, CGI, watercolor, or ink-wash.
