Hailuo 2.3 Pro is a MiniMax model that animates one image at 1080p. It has no text-to-video mode in the Studio, so a start image is required. It has no length, ratio or sound choice: the clip follows your image and the price is a flat 901 credits.

#Use it in Studio
Step 1: Open Animate a Photo
In Studio, open Animate a Photo. Hailuo 2.3 Pro needs a start image, so it works from this entry point. Sign in when the Studio asks.
Step 2: Choose Hailuo 2.3 Pro
Open the model picker, which groups models by maker, and choose Hailuo 2.3 Pro.
Step 3: Add your image and describe the motion
Attach one start image (JPEG, PNG or WEBP, up to 20 MB), then describe how it should move.
Step 4: Set the output
This model offers no aspect ratio, resolution, length or sound choice. Set Count from 1 to 4.
Step 5: Check the price and generate
The Studio shows the credit price for your settings. Videos run in the background: the card updates in place when the clip is ready, and the clip is saved to your Library.
#Limits
- Image to video only: the Studio says "Add an image to animate" until you attach a start image.
- You need to be signed in to generate. Hailuo 2.3 Pro is available on every plan, including Free; credits are the limit.
- One start image only. The Studio has no end frame, no multiple reference images and no video-to-video input.
- A video that has not finished within 30 minutes is marked failed and refunded. A failed generation is refunded, and the Studio does not run a different model in its place.
