Strengths and limits

Good at

  • Lifelike people in motion: MiniMax built 2.3 for physical action, body movement and small facial expressions.
  • Styles beyond photoreal: MiniMax names anime, illustration, ink-wash painting and game CG as 2.3 strengths.
  • One flat price: 147 credits for a 6-second 1080p clip, the same for text and image to video, so there's no settings maths.
  • The prompt is optional with a start image. Upload a frame and it animates; add a sentence to steer the motion.

Limits

  • No real Hailuo 2.3 Pro clips on this page yet. We only show a model's own outputs, so test one clip first (147 credits).
  • Fixed 6-second clips and no ratio setting: text to video comes out 16:9. For vertical video, start from a 9:16 image, or use MiniMax H3 with its ratio picker.
  • No sound and no end frame. For audio use MiniMax H3; to set the last frame use Hailuo 02 Pro or Standard.
  • Not on Kenerate's free plan: video needs any one-time credit pack (from $15 for 1,300 credits).

How to

How to use Hailuo 2.3 Pro on Kenerate

  1. Step 1

    Open the video studio

    Go to /app/video and pick Hailuo 2.3 Pro (the button on this page selects it). Video needs any one-time credit pack.

  2. Step 2

    Add a start frame (optional)

    For image to video, upload a JPG or PNG whose shape is between 2:5 and 5:2, with the short side over 300 px. Leave it empty for text to video.

  3. Step 3

    Describe the action

    Write the subject, what they do and how the camera moves. With a start image the prompt is optional, but one sentence about the motion helps.

  4. Step 4

    Generate

    Every run is a 6-second 1080p clip for 147 credits. The cost shows before you generate, and the clip lands in your library.

Can Hailuo 2.3 Pro turn an image into a video?

Yes. Upload a start image in /app/video and Hailuo 2.3 Pro animates it into a 6-second 1080p clip. The prompt is optional: leave it blank to let the model choose the motion, or describe the action you want. It doesn't take an end frame.

Does Hailuo 2.3 Pro make sound?

No. Hailuo 2.3 Pro renders video only. If you want sound generated with the picture, MiniMax H3 on Kenerate makes clips with audio, from 3 to 15 seconds (4 to 15 on H3 Pro). Otherwise add music or a voice-over in your editor.

Can Hailuo 2.3 Pro make vertical video?

There's no ratio setting. Text to video comes out 16:9, and image to video starts from your picture, so start from a vertical image for social formats. If you need to choose the ratio, MiniMax H3 offers 9:16, 1:1, 21:9 and more.

Is Hailuo 2.3 Pro free?

Not on Kenerate: video generation needs a paid plan, which means buying any one-time credit pack. New accounts get 25 starter credits for images. MiniMax's own Hailuo app offered free trial credits at launch. Check hailuoai.video for its current terms.

What Hailuo 2.3 changed

MiniMax released Hailuo 2.3 and Hailuo 2.3 Fast on 28 October 2025 as the successor to Hailuo 02 [1]. It says the update improves physical actions, stylisation and character micro-expressions, follows motion commands more closely, and handles anime, illustration, ink-wash and game-CG styles, while keeping Hailuo 02's pricing. Fast is the cheaper, quicker option for batches. Kenerate runs the Pro tier, at 1080p, for text to video and image to video [2][3].
