What is Mixamo?

Mixamo provides web-based 3D character animation tools for game developers, filmmakers, and interactive designers.

It offers a library of ready-to-use 3D characters, fully textured and rigged for immediate integration into projects.

Automatic character rigging lets users upload custom models and receive a fitted human skeletal rig with mobile performance options.

A motion-capture animation library contains thousands of full-body clips that can be previewed, retargeted, and edited in the browser.

Export options support common formats (FBX, OBJ) and engine-ready settings for game engines, motion graphics, and film pipelines.
