AI image to video generator

To turn an image into a video, upload a photo, describe the motion and the camera, and click Generate — the AI uses your picture as the first frame and brings it to life. You can also set the first and last frame or build a scene from several reference images.

How does AI turn a photo into a video?

Image to video turns a still picture into a clip: the model takes your photo as the first frame and generates the motion you describe. The studio has three sub-modes. Single image is classic photo animation. First & last frame lets you upload two images, and the model builds the transition between them. References uses several images to define a character, a product or a style, and the model builds the scene around them. Kling, Veo 3.1, Seedance, Hailuo, Wan, Grok Imagine and other models are available, and the Auto format keeps the proportions of your photo.

How to do it

  1. Upload a photo

    Drop an image up to 10 MB, HEIC included, or pick one from your works.

  2. Choose a sub-mode and a model

    Single image, First & last frame or References. Model, duration and format are set in the same form.

  3. Describe the motion

    Write what happens in the frame and how the camera moves: “the woman turns to the camera, her hair blowing in the wind”.

  4. Start the generation

    The price in credits is shown on the button before you start. Click Generate and wait for the clip.

Tips for better results

  • Describe one main action: the simpler the motion, the more stable the result.
  • Add the camera move separately: push in, pull out, pan or orbit.
  • To get a transition between two scenes, use First & last frame.
  • To keep a character or a product in a new scene, upload several images in References.
  • Only use photos of other people with their consent.

How much does image to video cost?

The price in credits is shown on the button before you start and depends on the clip duration and quality. Plans start from $10 per month. Try it for free — 5 credits on sign-up.
