About video to cartoon on Cicadas
This video to cartoon converter redraws your own clip in a cartoon style. Upload an MP4 and choose 3D cartoon, comic book, clay animation or pencil sketch; FLUX 3 Edit keeps the movement, framing and timing of your video and changes how every frame looks. The sound track stays. It costs 8 credits per second of your clip, the exact price is shown before anything is charged, and a job that fails is refunded in full.
Why use Cicadas for video to cartoon
Convert video to cartoon and keep the action
The tool redraws the MP4 you upload (1 to 14.5 seconds, up to 48 MB) instead of generating a new scene, so poses, camera movement and timing follow your footage. In our runs a 5.04-second clip came back as 5.04 seconds and a 10.14-second clip as 10.04 seconds, at 24 frames a second.
Four cartoon styles: 3D, comic, clay and sketch
3D cartoon gives rounded characters with big eyes, like an animated family film. Comic book gives heavy ink outlines and halftone dots. Clay animation sculpts everything from modelling clay. Pencil sketch draws the clip in graphite on white paper. Each style is a fixed instruction, so there is no prompt to write.

The server measures your clip and quotes 8 credits per second: about 40 credits for 5 seconds and 80 for 10. The quote holds for 5 minutes, nothing is charged until you confirm, and a failed job or a result of the wrong length returns every credit.

Video to cartoon FAQ
Tested on Cicadas · reviewed 2026-10-11
Real runs on 2026-10-11 with FLUX 3 Edit, all on this site's own AI-generated clips. Sent with the exact request this page sends: a 5.04-second portrait in each of the four styles, a 10.14-second clip with two people as 3D cartoon, and a 5.04-second kitten clip as clay. Through this page's paid path: a 10.14-second dance with sound as comic book (82 credits, 79 seconds, delivered as 10.04 seconds). Poses, framing and sound were kept. Clay changed the most: dark hair turned clay-coloured and the kitten lost its fur texture; the pencil sketch replaced a night street with white paper. One of the 23 requests we sent to this model that day ended in a provider error; such jobs are refunded. Phone footage, three or more people and clips over 10 seconds have not been tested.
