12 Best AI video‑generation apps for 2025 (available on Google Play and the App Store)

AI video‑generation models have improved rapidly. Powerful diffusion and transformer models can now transform short prompts, photos or video clips into new videos. Mobile apps bring these capabilities to creators’ pockets, making it easy to produce social‑media clips, product demos, tributes and more on the go. 2025 has seen a flood of AI video apps on both Google Play and Apple’s App Store. To help you pick the right one, this guide highlights the most capable apps available on both platforms and then lists a handful of additional tools worth trying.

What can AI video apps do?

Modern AI video generators can:

• Turn text into video – advanced models like Veo 3 and Kling generate entire scenes from a short prompt. For example, Deevid AI turns a sentence into a video complete with visuals, motion and sound.
• Animate still photos – tools such as PixVerse and Deevid’s image‑to‑video features animate a static image with camera transitions or even motion between two frames.
• Create talking avatars – apps like Virbo, DreamFace and D‑ID let you upload a photo, pick or clone a voice and generate a talking video in dozens of languages.
• Apply AI effects – many mobile tools offer trending effects (360° microwave, Ghibli‑style, muscle surge, etc.) and style‑transfer filters to give videos a cinematic or cartoon look.
• Produce marketing and social‑media content – text‑to‑video workflows and template libraries generate scripts, voice‑overs and subtitles in one pass. InVideo AI, for instance, writes a script, adds media and voice‑overs and outputs ready‑to‑share clips.
• Edit with AI – editors like Videoleap and PowerDirector provide AI auto‑editing, voice‑changing and enhancement tools to clean up footage, add captions and match stock media.

Ranking criteria

Apps were assessed on the richness of their generative features, ease of use, update frequency, user ratings and suitability for typical use cases. Only apps available on Google Play or the App Store in 2025 were considered.

Top AI video‑generation apps for 2025 (mobile)

1. Deevid AI – best overall

Deevid AI remains our top choice because it crams almost every modern generative capability into one app. It combines multiple underlying models (including Veo 3, Kling and Sora) to turn short prompts or photos into polished videos. Users can generate clips from scratch with text‑to‑video, animate photos between two frames, interpolate between a start and end frame, or stitch multiple images into one motion sequence. The app also includes an avatar creator, lip‑sync, style‑transfer filters and more than 50 trending effects ranging from 360° microwave to Ghibli styles. A unified account system makes it easy to switch between the mobile app and the web studio, and new users receive 20 free credits when they sign up. Deevid exports high‑definition videos and is simple enough for beginners, yet powerful enough for marketers and filmmakers. The freemium model lets you try it risk‑free, with subscription plans available for heavier use.

• Best use case: creators or brands who need a single tool capable of generating social clips, ads, tributes and even photo‑interpolation videos.
• Pricing: free to download with 20 credits included; extra credits and premium features are unlocked via in‑app subscriptions.
• Considerations: as with most prompt‑based tools, results can vary; detailed prompts improve output.

2. InVideo AI

InVideo AI turns video creation into a conversation. You can type or speak a description of your desired video and the app generates a complete script, selects stock clips, adds background music and voice‑overs and renders a ready‑to‑publish video. The 3.0 release added longer prompts, new editing commands (for example, “remove the last scene” or “change the narrator’s voice”) and a smoother editing experience. It also applies virtual camera movements and noise reduction to give even AI‑generated footage a professional feel. InVideo excels at marketing, tutorial and explainer videos because it automates script‑writing and uses templates tailored to business niches. A freemium model lets you generate short videos for free; paid plans (Plus and Max) unlock longer generative minutes and more stock media.

• Best use case: marketers, small business owners and educators who want studio‑quality clips without spending hours editing.
• Pricing: free tier with limited minutes; Plus plan starts at $24.99 and Max at $59.99 for more credits.
• Considerations: the generative voices can sound synthetic at times; check the script before publishing.

3. PixVerse

PixVerse focuses on speed and style. Its 2.0 release adds key‑frame control that lets you specify the first and last frames of a clip so the AI can generate smooth transitions. Users can choose from image‑to‑video, text‑to‑video or video‑extension modes, making it flexible for creators who want to extend a clip or animate a still frame. PixVerse is known for its library of trending effects—such as Muscle Surge, Dance Revolution and Suit Swagger—which help videos gain traction on social media. The app renders high‑definition output within seconds and has attracted a loyal community of TikTokers and storytellers.

• Best use case: producing eye‑catching social‑media clips and cinematic sequences quickly.
• Pricing: basic plan is free; paid tiers range from $10/month (Standard) to $60/month (Premium), with enterprise plans starting around $100.
• Considerations: advanced controls (e.g., custom aspect ratios) require higher‑tier subscriptions.

4. Virbo

Virbo is designed for creating lifelike presenters and mascots. You can record a 10‑second clip to clone your own appearance or choose from more than 300 stock avatars that cover a range of ethnicities, professions and styles. The app supports realistic mouth and body movements with motion‑mode gestures and offers trending filters like Jurassic World or superhero transformations. Virbo is also versatile: it can animate hugs, kisses, dances and pet‑sing videos from a single photo. An AI video translator translates your script into 80+ languages with matching lip‑sync, making it ideal for global marketing or customer service. Virbo offers a free trial and subscription plans; membership unlocks unlimited exports, extra avatars and faster rendering. Some reviewers note that re‑editing after export is limited.

• Best use case: creating multilingual spokesperson videos, personalised greetings or promotional clips with a human touch.
• Pricing: free to download with trial credits; membership plans vary by region and include weekly and monthly options.
• Considerations: exported avatars cannot be deeply re‑edited; plan accordingly when scripting.

5. Kling AI

Kling AI is a newcomer built around the Kling generative model that has wowed the AI community with cinematic quality. It can create videos up to three minutes long at 1080p resolution while maintaining realistic motion and lip‑sync. Users can input text prompts or supply an image to define the scene, and Kling’s deep motion model simulates physical interactions like hair movement or reflections. The app offers a variety of artistic styles—from photorealistic to anime—and can match voices to characters for seamless narration. Because Kling is capable of longer clips and more complex scenes, it is particularly suited to cinematic storytelling, marketing videos and professional pitches. Pricing ranges from a free plan to Standard, Pro and Premier subscriptions (from about $10/month to $92/month).

• Best use case: filmmakers, game designers or marketers who want longer, high‑fidelity clips with accurate motion and lip‑sync.
• Pricing: free tier allows limited generation; Standard plan ~$10/month, Pro ~$37/month and Premier ~$92/month.
• Considerations: as a new service it may have occasional downtime; generated voices can sound robotic.

6. Pika

Pika focuses on making AI video generation accessible and playful. Instead of requiring detailed prompts, it offers ready‑made templates and a modify‑region tool that lets you edit or re‑render a specific part of a video without starting from scratch. Pika is ideal for short‑form content—think TikTok, Instagram reels or animated memes—and includes various art styles and cartoon‑like effects to appeal to younger audiences. Its interface guides you through choosing a template, entering a short description and adjusting styles, making it one of the easiest tools to get started with. Plans include a free tier (with watermarked exports) and Standard, Pro and Fancy tiers that increase monthly credit limits and unlock higher resolutions.

• Best use case: influencers and hobbyists creating fun, short videos or experimenting with AI‑powered cartoons.
• Pricing: Basic plan is free; Standard $10/month (or $8/month when billed annually), Pro $35/month and Fancy $95/month.
• Considerations: output quality tops out at 10–15 seconds on the free plan; longer or higher‑resolution videos require upgrading.

7. D‑ID: AI Video Generator

D‑ID’s mobile app brings the company’s Creative Reality™ studio to iOS. It lets you turn a single photo into a speaking digital person in seconds. You can choose an avatar from a built‑in library or upload your own image, then generate speech in 120 languages. The app allows custom voices via uploads or text‑to‑speech and produces an MP4 with one tap. D‑ID is particularly strong at corporate explainers, customer‑service bots and global communications because it supports so many languages and offers both photorealistic and illustrated avatars. The basic version is free; paid credit packs unlock longer videos, high‑resolution output and faster processing (prices are not publicly disclosed). Some reviewers would like more control over head movement and expressions.

• Best use case: companies and educators who need multilingual, on‑demand presenters or talking head videos.
• Pricing: free download with purchasable credit packs (pricing not disclosed).
• Considerations: customizing expressions can be limited; plan to use higher‑tier credits for professional quality.

8. Videoleap

Videoleap strikes a balance between automated generation and manual editing. The AI reel maker produces short clips, applies filters and improves colours with a single tap, while the built‑in editor lets you fine‑tune results with music, intros, captions and hundreds of templates tailored to Reels, Shorts and TikTok. Power users can layer multiple clips, mask specific regions and blend images like in a desktop editor. Because Videoleap covers generation and editing, it suits influencers and small businesses who want creative control without needing a full‑blown desktop suite.

• Best use case: creators who want to generate reels quickly but still customise timing, layers and effects.
• Pricing: free to download with unlimited access subscriptions ranging from about $4.99 to $9.99.
• Considerations: advanced features are locked behind a subscription; exports are watermarked on the free tier.

9. PowerDirector

CyberLink’s PowerDirector remains one of the most comprehensive mobile editors and now includes AI video features. It offers auto‑edit, image‑to‑video dance and kiss templates, portrait/anime filters, auto captions, voice changer, speech‑to‑text and even super‑slow‑motion. The AI tools sit atop a robust editor with trimming, stabilisation, green‑screen compositing and keyframe controls. PowerDirector is therefore ideal for creators who start with raw footage but want AI to handle repetitive tasks (like captioning or generating filler scenes) while still retaining full manual control. The free version shows watermarks and restricts stock content; paid subscriptions (about $5–$10 per month) unlock the stock library and remove watermarks.

• Best use case: vloggers and video editors who want pro‑level tools with AI assistance.
• Pricing: free tier with watermark; premium subscription (roughly $5–$10/month) unlocks full features.
• Considerations: steep learning curve compared with simpler apps; ideal for those with editing experience.

10. Runway

Runway brings state‑of‑the‑art generative models to iOS. Its Gen‑4 model produces images and videos with consistent characters, objects and locations, making it suitable for storytelling and concept design. A conversational Chat Mode accepts natural‑language prompts and suggests modifications, and all assets sync between the mobile app and Runway’s desktop site. Artists appreciate the free tier, but reviews point out that queue times can be long during peak hours and some features require a subscription.

• Best use case: artists, designers and filmmakers experimenting with narrative scenes, storyboards or concept art.
• Pricing: free tier with daily credits; Pro membership available (pricing varies).
• Considerations: output is restricted to square formats on mobile; high‑resolution exports may require the desktop version.

11. CapCut

CapCut has evolved from a mobile editor into a cross‑platform AI video studio. You can start a project on your phone and finish it in a browser or desktop app thanks to seamless syncing. It offers more than 100 realistic voice options for narrations, automatic captioning, animated text and free music. Template‑driven script generation and an intelligent media‑matching system help you find appropriate stock clips for your script, making CapCut especially effective for TikTok, YouTube Shorts or Instagram Reels. CapCut is free to use and widely popular; a Pro membership unlocks additional templates and removes watermarks.

• Best use case: creators producing short‑form social‑media videos who want a balance of templates and AI assistance.
• Pricing: free; optional Pro membership costs roughly $7–$9/month.
• Considerations: advanced AI features may require an internet connection; some templates are region‑restricted.

12. DreamFace

DreamFace brings photos to life. You can upload a static picture and animate it with talking avatars, dynamic lip movements and singing or dancing sequences. A Dynamic Avatar feature even lets you change the spoken content after generating the video—ideal for personalising birthday greetings or reaction memes. DreamFace also includes Nostalgia mode, which animates old family portraits with subtle motion, and supports translations into more than 20 languages. With various art styles from cyberpunk to anime, the app has become a favourite for creating humorous clips, musical tributes and preserving memories. Pricing is generous: a free plan lets you animate basic videos, while Pro ($29.99/year) and Premium ($119.99/year) plans remove watermarks and unlock longer, high‑definition exports.

• Best use case: personal memes, greetings and nostalgic animations of family photos.
• Pricing: free plan with watermarks; Pro $29.99/year; Premium $119.99/year; 3‑year Pro $59.99.
• Considerations: exported videos can look uncanny if the source photo is low‑resolution; the free version adds visible watermarks.
