Haiper

Haiper is an AI video generator built by former DeepMind and Google researchers, focused on perceptual quality with fluid motion and natural textures. It offers text-to-video, image-to-video, and a repainting tool for modifying colors, textures, and elements in specific areas of a clip. It targets storytelling, educational, social, and promotional content, with credit-based pricing that scales by resolution and duration. A limited free tier offers 720p without audio; paid plans start around $9.99/month. Haiper raised seed funding reported around $13.8 million led by Octopus Ventures.

Haiper is an AI video platform created by a team of researchers from DeepMind and Google, with a stated focus on perceptual quality, motion that looks fluid and textures that feel right to the human eye. Its core tools include text-to-video, which turns written prompts into animated clips, image-to-video, which animates static images, and a repainting tool that lets users modify colors, textures, and elements in specific areas of a video. The product is positioned for storytelling, educational content, social posts, and promotional material, and generation cost scales with resolution and duration under a credit system. A limited free tier offers 720p output without audio, while paid plans add more credits, higher quality, and additional capabilities. Haiper raised seed funding (reported around $13.8 million led by Octopus Ventures) after emerging publicly in 2024. It sits among a crowded field of AI video generators; its research pedigree and emphasis on motion quality are its main draws, though it is a smaller player than the best-funded competitors, so weigh roadmap and output quality against alternatives.
