Playground

Before making a full-length animation, come to Playground when you want to experiment lightly — one image, one video clip, or a single voice line. Generate video, images, or voice instantly from a single prompt, and browse other creators' work and prompts too.

Step-by-step guide

Follow these steps for the creation goal you have in mind.

01

Start with a template

Not sure where to start? Tap one of the 6 cards under ‘Get started with templates’ below the input box. The right model and settings are set up automatically for that purpose.

02

Make a video

The default way is to generate from a reference. Freely combine image, video, and audio as references, and AI creates a video that reflects their characters, composition, and mood. The number of references you can add depends on the model (e.g. up to 50 for Seedance 2.5).

Make a video
  • You can enter text only with no reference, or add one image to bring that scene to life.
  • In-between frame generation connects two images — a ‘first frame’ and a ‘last frame’.
  • Choose aspect ratio, length, and resolution in the options, and turn on audio generation too if the model supports it.
  • Credits vary depending on the resolution × length combination.
03

Make an image

Pick a model in the Image tab and write your prompt. Generation model cards show feature tags and credits together, so you can compare and choose. Pick the ToonXL model to unlock style selection for Toonkit's own model — apply Toonkit's default presets, styles shared by other users, or a style you trained yourself (paid plan).

Make a voice

Write your script in the Voice tab (up to 5,000 characters) and pick a voice in voice selection. Filter by type, gender, and age, and preview before you commit. Generated audio plays instantly with a waveform player in your inventory.

When you're stuck on a prompt — free enhancement

Tap the wand button in the input box and AI refines your prompt into a form that generates better results. This feature is free. Compare the original and the enhanced version, then choose ‘Apply enhanced prompt’ or ‘Revert’.

07

Share to the community

Check ‘Share to community’ before you generate, and your result and the creation process are shared to the community tab. Change your mind? You can undo the share from your inventory at any time. You can also add other users' work to your own inventory, or report anything inappropriate.

Follow the community guidelines

Sharing prompts or synthesized results that are violent, harmful, or infringe on someone else's copyright may be restricted,

and repeated violations can permanently restrict your access to the service.

If generation fails

Check the error for a failed generation and tap ‘Regenerate’. Here are the most common causes.
