Hailuo is a series of video models from the Chinese company MiniMax, which gained international recognition for high quality at a moderate cost. The Hailuo 02 Pro version specializes in animating images with multiple subjects in the frame — where other models start to 'blend' faces and objects, Hailuo maintains the stability of each.
This is especially important when animating group portraits and family photos: each person in the frame moves separately and predictably, without merging artifacts. The model also handles different formats well — vertical for Stories, horizontal for YouTube, and square for Instagram.
In terms of cost (22 credits), Hailuo occupies a middle position between the budget Wan 2.1 and the premium Kling v2.1, offering a good balance for regular content creation with multiple objects in the frame.
