MiniMax H3

MiniMax H3 is an online AI video generator offering two modes, text-to-video and image-to-video, which can be completed in the same workspace. Users can generate short videos of 5 to 15 seconds by describing a scene in text or uploading a starting image, suitable for purposes such as product showcases, social media content, and story clips. The tool supports selecting different models such as MiniMax H3, H3 Max, and H3 Max Turbo, and allows adjustment of resolution, duration, and aspect ratio. In image-to-video mode, an optional end frame can also be uploaded to guide the video's final composition. Generating videos consumes credits; the platform offers paid plans and credit packs, and registering an account does not require binding a credit card.

About this tool

Purpose

MiniMax H3 is a free online AI video generator that integrates text-to-video and image-to-video in the same workspace, for creating short videos needed for product showcases, social media posts, or story clips.

Main Capabilities

Text-to-Video Turn a text description into a 5- to 15-second short clip, with the characters, actions, and camera movements specified in the text appearing in the frame. Suitable when you have a scene in mind but no image yet. Describe who or what appears, what is moving, and how the camera follows; for example, a specific action description like "the bottle stays still and the camera slowly moves closer" is more effective than listing visual styles.

Image-to-Video Start from an uploaded still image—it can be a fashion shot, product photo, or illustration—then add a motion description. The generated clip keeps an appearance consistent with the starting image.

Talking Clip from a Single Image Starting from a still image, you can generate a talking clip with synchronized expressions and lines, and MiniMax H3 Max puts both in the same file.

Start Frame and End Frame Control In image-to-video mode, you can upload a starting image and also optionally add an end frame to guide the video's ending composition. Use the prompt to describe the motion between the two frames.

Aspect Ratio Selection In text-to-video mode, you can choose portrait for social media posts or landscape for website videos. Image input needs to be prepared according to the composition you want to animate.

How to Use

  1. Choose an input method: Use text-to-video for a written scene, or use image-to-video to upload a starting frame. The end frame is optional.
  2. Describe one action: State the subject's movement and the camera's movement, and start with a short scene that can be clearly judged.
  3. Choose a model and settings: The generator uses MiniMax H3 Max Turbo by default. Select the model, resolution, and duration, and check the displayed cost before generating.
  4. Review and adjust: Pay attention to motion, composition, and important details, adjust one instruction at a time, then download the result you want to use.

Model Selection

  • Turbo: The lowest-cost option here, suitable for exploring multiple variations.
  • MiniMax H3: Offers a 2K option.
  • Max: Another model you can try with the same prompt.

Resolutions higher than each model's minimum setting require Premium; the generation process also consumes credits.

Suitable Scenarios

  • Product photo animation: From clearStart with a clear photo and require restrained motion, such as a slow camera push toward the product. Before use, check the labels, logos, and product shape throughout the clip.
  • Social media video opening: Describe an action that immediately introduces the subject; for vertical posts, choose a portrait composition and keep the subject easy to see.
  • Story scene exploration: Before assembling a longer edit, first try the scene's setting, lighting, and camera direction, and use the results to decide the next visual idea to develop.
  • End frame finishing: When you already have an opening frame and a final frame, upload both and describe the motion between them. This works for a product turning to face the camera, or a character ending in a fixed pose. Before use, check both ends of the clip.

Pricing and Credits

The default 5-second MiniMax H3 Max Turbo video costs 25 credits at 480P. New accounts receive 10 credits, so the signup balance alone is not enough to generate one video; you need to add credits through a plan or credit pack before your first generation. Creating an account does not require a credit card.

Limitations

  • Resolutions above the minimum setting require Premium: 768P and 1080P for Max and Turbo, and 2K for MiniMax H3.
  • On Max and Turbo, generating multiple outputs at once also requires Premium.
  • A credit balance is still required to generate.
  • This generator accepts text prompts, and in image-to-video mode accepts one starting image and one optional ending image; video and audio reference uploads are not supported.
  • Supported image formats are JPG, PNG, or WebP.
