Try It Yourself


Our demo website is under development and will be available in the next 2-3 months. We will attach the demo link on this website once the demo is ready. No extra application process is required. Before that, we have prepared an early experience channel for everyone: You can try Boximator by emailing wangjiawei.424@bytedance.com. We will reply to you with the generated video as soon as possible.

Users' email should include:
  • An image as the initial frame
  • A text prompt to describe the motion you need

Tips:
  • Please send us a clean original image. The aspect ratio of the image is preferably 1:1.
  • You are encouraged to use detailed words to describe your needs, especially about the motion. Don't worry about being lengthy. ^_^
  • By default, user-provided data along with the according generated video are allowed to be shown in our gallery. Otherwise, please indicate your requirements in the email.
  • Please do not send any images or texts that may be pornographic, political, bloody, etc.
UPDATE
  • 2024/02/18: Hello everyone! We are back to work! Due to the previous Lunar New Year vacation, we have accumulated some user emails and samples, so it may take you some time to wait our reply. User samples suitable for Boximator will be prioritized. Thanks for your patience!

  • 2024/02/07: Happy Lunar New Year! We will be on vocation during 2024.02.08~02.17. All emails sent before February 7th have been responded. Thanks for your attention!
