Stick Figure Animation Maker with Your Face

Made to be sent

Mo lands right in the conversation: a group chat, a friend’s post, the end of your video.

Make Mo yours

Every part of Mo is up to you.

Your face

Upload a photo or use your camera, and the background is removed for you. Or pick from Mo's own expressions and head colors.

Your words

Type anything you want to say. Mo fits your text in the speech bubble, so a long line is as easy as a short one. Add a scene to save something for the punch line.

Your moves

30 animated actions, from a shrug to air guitar. Then choose how close the camera gets and how Mo walks in.

Your look

Dresses, suits, swimsuits, and hats from a crown to a cowboy hat, all in any colors you like. Then pick Mo's size.

Your background

Put any color behind Mo, pick a ready-made scene like a beach or a stage, or use your own photo of your office, your dog or your vacation.

Your sound

Pick a song from the library and turn it into a video with sound.

Same words. Different Mo.

One line and one move, made six different ways.

Example faces and backgrounds are AI-generated.

Set it up. Land the punch line.

Add scenes and Mo tells the story in beats. Each scene has its own words, action, face and background, and they play one after another in the same GIF or video. Here are three, two scenes each, telling one story.

Tap + next to Scene
The new scene starts as a copy, so the punch line is often just new words and a new action.
Change anything
Swap the face to bring in a second person, or move to a new background for the payoff.
Play all, then build
Up to four scenes, each on screen long enough to read. Your GIF or video plays them in order.

Starter pack

Tap one to make it yours, then change anything you like. The ones marked 2 scenes tell a tiny story.

Make a reaction GIF with your face

Searching for the right reaction GIF means settling for something close. With Mo, you make the exact one you wanted: an animated character with a speech bubble, saying your words, wearing your face. Tap one to start from it.

Example faces and backgrounds are AI-generated.

How to make a stick figure animation

Type the line
Write what Mo should say and it appears in the speech bubble. Then pick one of 30 actions to go with it. For a setup and a punch line, add a second scene with its own words and action.
Make it yours
Add your own face with a photo or your camera. Change the outfit, hat, background and size, and add music.
Send it
Build a looping GIF for a group chat, or a video for your feed, in wide, square, vertical or portrait. Then share it or download it.

A stick figure video for every occasion

Mo is a free stick figure animation maker, a stickman with your face, that makes short GIFs and videos right in your browser. Words land better when someone says them, so type a line and Mo delivers it with a shrug, a cheer, a facepalm or a backflip that goes badly. Swap in your own face, dress Mo up, change the background, and add music. Add up to four scenes that play one after another, each with its own words, action, face and background, to tell a joke or have two people trade lines.

GIF or video?

Both start from the same Mo. The difference is how it plays once you send it.

GIF: for messages

A GIF is a short moving picture with no sound. It plays by itself, over and over, right in the conversation, so nobody has to tap anything. Pick it for a text to a friend, a group chat or an email.

iMessage
WhatsApp
Slack
Microsoft Teams
Discord
Email

Video: for posts

A video can have music, and it's what social sites expect. It usually plays when someone taps it or scrolls past. Pick it to post on your feed, or any time you want sound. Choose wide, square, vertical or portrait to fit where it's going.

Steps for a specific app

Messages

iMessage

In the conversation, tap +, then Photos, and pick it.

Tap + (on Android, the paperclip), then Photos or Gallery, and pick it. On a computer, drag the file into the chat.

Facebook Messenger

Tap the photo button beside the message box and pick it.

Slack

Tap + beside the message box and choose the file, or drag it in on a computer. It animates for anyone who allows animated images in their settings.

Microsoft Teams

On a phone, tap +, then Attach. On a computer, use the paperclip or Upload from this device.

Discord

Tap +, then pick the file. GIFs play right in the chat.

Email

Attach it like any photo. Some email programs show only the first frame of a GIF, so for an important email, a video is the safer choice.

Posts

Facebook

Post: tap Photo/video under "What's on your mind?" and pick it. Comment: build a GIF, tap Put it online, then Copy link, and paste the link into the comment. Facebook currently shows the GIF playing in the comment once it's posted. You can also tap the camera icon in the comment box and pick the GIF, or drag the file in on a computer. Facebook then takes a minute or two to get it ready and may say it's having trouble playing it; reload the page and it plays, sometimes after a tap.

Instagram

Tap +, choose Post, Story or Reel, and pick it. Use the video: Instagram turns a GIF into a still picture.

TikTok

Tap +, then Upload, and pick the video. Choose vertical when you build it.

YouTube Shorts

In the YouTube app, tap +, then Short, and pick the video. Choose vertical or square when you build it.

Start a post, tap the photo or video button, and pick it. GIFs and videos both work in a post.

X

Tap the photo button when you write a post or reply, and pick it. GIFs play there; keep them under 15 MB.

Threads

Tap the photo button when you write a post, and pick the video.

Mo answers your questions

Is it free?

Yes, and there's nothing to sign up for.

How do I make a GIF with my own face?

Tap the plus next to Add your face, then take a picture or upload one. Mo's head is replaced with yours, and the background behind your head is removed automatically.

Do I have to use my own face?

Not at all. Mo comes with a perfectly good face, and you can change its expression. A friend's face works too.

Do my photos get uploaded?

No. Your photos stay in your browser. Mo is made right there on your device.

Can I put my own text on a GIF?

Yes. Whatever you type goes in Mo's speech bubble, and the text is sized to fit. You can change the color of the bubble too.

Can I change the background?

Yes. Pick any color, choose one of nine ready-made scenes as a photo or a cartoon, or add your own photo and Mo stands right in front of it. Upload one or take it with your camera, and it stays in your browser.

What can I make?

A looping GIF, or an MP4 video with music, with one scene or up to four that play in turn. Both come in wide, square, vertical and portrait sizes.

How long can a video be?

Up to 30 seconds. Each scene stays up as long as its words need, or the time you set in its settings, and the video can play the whole thing up to five times.

Do I need to install anything?

No. Mo works in the web browser on your phone or computer, so there's no app to download.

Is there a watermark?

Each one carries a small movidmo.com/mo in the corner, so people can find out where it came from. Want a version without it? Contact us.

Can a GIF have more than one scene?

Yes, up to four. Tap the plus next to Scene, and each scene gets its own words, action, face, outfit and background. They play one after another, so you can set up a joke and land the punch line, or have two people trade lines. Each scene stays up long enough to read.
