Think you already know all the AI video generators out there?
Not so fast.

Because today, I’m about to show you five hidden gems that let you create videos completely free.

And trust me—you probably haven’t used most of them before.

So, let’s dive right in.

1. AIVideoMaker.ai

This one is a complete surprise.

With AIVideoMaker.ai, you can create short 5-second AI videos straight from text or images—without even signing up.

Here’s what makes it stand out:

• No registration required
• Image-to-video and text-to-video support
• A completely free plan

I tested it myself: typed in a short description, clicked “Create Free AI Video,” waited about two minutes, and got a super high-quality animated clip.

Sure, it’s only 5 seconds long. But hey—it’s free and instant. Perfect for testing out quick creative ideas.

2. hunyuan.tencent

Next up is a Chinese AI platform that’s way more powerful than it first looks.

When you land on hunyuan.tencent, you’ll want to:

• Sign up with a free account (yes, even a temp email works).
• Switch the site into English (built-in translator).

Inside, you’ll find a huge range of tools—AI photo research, podcasts, translation, image animation, and of course, video generation.

Here’s the kicker:

• It lets you create 3D-style moving images
• Add realistic animations to photos
• Experiment with filters, zoom effects, and stylizations

I tried a simple prompt like “dog running,” and while the result wasn’t Hollywood-quality, it definitely showed the potential of what this platform can become.

3. Qwen.ai

This one is a hidden powerhouse.

Qwen.ai is often compared to ChatGPT or Gemini, but it goes beyond text. It can help you:

• Write articles and brainstorm ideas
• Generate podcasts or scripts
• Edit images and even build simple websites
• And yes—create videos from prompts

I gave it a prompt about a “small paper boat floating on water,” and it instantly produced a beautiful animated clip that matched my description.

If you’re looking for a free AI all-in-one tool with video generation included, Qwen is worth a bookmark.

4. Vheer.com

If you’ve seen my earlier reviews, you know I’m a fan of Wehear.

It’s perfect for:

• Animating images into short videos
• Making ad creatives or cartoon-style videos
• Simple, free image-to-video conversion

Here’s how it works:

1. Upload your image
2. Add basic prompts (scene description + camera prompts)
3. Choose video format and length
4. Generate your video

At first, the preview may look blank, but once downloaded, the result is a surprisingly smooth animated video.

Completely free. Totally worth trying.

5. Roponeo.com

Finally, we’ve got Roponeo.

This site lets you create AI videos either by:

• Uploading an image, or
• Writing a description

It’s super easy to use, and I’ve even made a separate video tutorial just for it (check the description and pinned comment if you’re watching this on YouTube).

The results? Smooth, realistic clips that can easily be repurposed for ads, creative projects, or even short-form content.

Hey! 👋 If this post saved you time, stress, or another “I give up” moment…

Do me a tiny favor? Share it with one friend who’s also grinding to make extra cash — but hates “guru” nonsense.

I don’t do fake scarcity, pop-ups, or “DM me for the secret.” Just real, messy, human advice.

When you share, you keep this blog alive… and help me afford more coffee (and fewer 3 a.m. panic sessions).
