Image to Video AI
Turn a still image into a short AI video without a complex editing workflow
The image to video AI workflow starts with one source image and a short motion prompt. You choose the aspect ratio, duration, and resolution, then generate a clip that keeps the original subject recognizable while adding movement.
Use it for fast creative testing: make product photos feel less static, animate character art, create social video variations, or turn campaign visuals into short clips before committing credits to a longer render.
Start from one image
Upload a portrait, product shot, character render, poster, or concept image and animate it directly.
Control the motion
Prompt camera movement, subtle subject animation, gestures, rotations, environmental motion, or cinematic pacing.
Preview before scaling
Use the free 480p preview to test motion, then switch to longer HD options when the direction is right.

FAQ
Image to Video AI FAQ
What is an image to video AI generator?
An image to video AI generator turns a still source image into a short video. You upload an image, describe the motion or camera direction, choose output settings, and generate a clip.
Can I create an AI video from one photo?
Yes. The image-to-video workflow starts from a single source image. Some paid models also support first and last frame workflows when you want more control over the ending.
Is there a free image-to-video option?
Yes. The free Video Fast 1.0 option creates a short 480p · 2s preview with a watermark. Longer or higher-resolution output uses credits.
What images work best?
Clear product shots, portraits, character art, posters, and concept images work best. Avoid tiny, blurry, heavily cropped, or cluttered source images when details matter.
Can I choose vertical or landscape video?
Yes. Supported aspect ratios include vertical, square, landscape, and keep-ratio options depending on the selected model.
How do credits work for image-to-video?
The Create button shows the required credits before submission. The free preview consumes 0 credits; paid duration and resolution options consume credits.
Can I use generated image-to-video clips commercially?
You can use suitable outputs commercially when you have rights to the uploaded source image, follow the terms, and review the generated result before publishing.
