What happened to Haiper AI
Haiper was a startup that ran a consumer AI video generator on the web. According to reports, including Sifted, the consumer web app was shut down in early 2025 and the founders moved to Microsoft AI. We do not have details beyond those reports, and if Haiper publishes an official statement or relaunches, that takes precedence over anything written here.
What it means for you in practice: logins, credits and saved videos tied to the old consumer app should not be expected to come back. If you had clips you care about, check whether you downloaded them at the time.

Create a videoWhat most former Haiper users were doing
- Animating a photo or artwork into a few seconds of motion. Our image-to-video AI does this: upload an image and describe the movement.
- Turning a one-line idea into a clip. Text-to-video with a prompt enhancer that fills in camera, lighting and setting details for you.
- Making quick social posts. Export presets for TikTok, Reels and Shorts (9:16), YouTube (16:9), Instagram (1:1 and 4:5), Pinterest (2:3) and X (16:9).
Clips run 3 to 30 seconds and download as MP4 without a watermark.
Why we charge per video instead of a plan
A tool disappearing is a good reminder not to lock too much money into a monthly plan. We keep things simple: 3 free videos after signup, then $1 per video with a $20 minimum top-up. There is no subscription, and credits never expire. Example: 20 clips for a month of posts is one $20 top-up; if you only use 12, the other 8 are still there next month.
We offer two modes, Turbo for speed and Pro for quality, with optional synchronized sound. And because nothing is tied to a subscription, unused credits simply wait on your balance.
Other options worth knowing
We are one option among several. Larger platforms offer long clips, lip-synced dialogue or avatars that we do not, usually on monthly subscriptions. If you want an overview of what else exists, our best AI video generator guide compares them, and free AI video generator covers the free routes.
One thing to know before your first clip
Videos you make here appear in a public TikTok-style feed by default, where others can watch and Remix the prompt. You can Unpublish any video at any time. You can also browse that feed without an account to get ideas before signing up. When you are ready, open the generator and recreate the last clip you made on Haiper. If you still have its prompt, paste it in unchanged; if not, a single sentence is enough and the prompt enhancer will expand it into a full shot description.
