Photo to Video AI
Upload a photo. AI adds motion, camera movement, and cinematic effects. Your still image becomes a video clip.
Still image
Motion + camera movement
Animate Any Photo in 3 Steps
No video skills required. Upload, describe, animate.
Upload
Choose an image-to-video model and upload a photo that meets its image requirements. Check the supported file type, dimensions and framing in Studio.
Describe the Motion
Describe the movement you want, such as a slow camera pan. Check whether your selected model requires a prompt or supports leaving it blank.
Animate
Review the available duration, resolution and credit cost, then generate. Inspect the clip before downloading or publishing it.

More Than Just Zoom Effects
Real motion synthesis, not just zoom and pan presets.
Any Image Works
Photos, illustrations, artwork, product shots. Upload anything — AI figures out how to animate it.
Realistic Motion
People move, water flows, objects animate naturally. Not a simple zoom effect — actual motion synthesis.
Camera Movement
Pan, zoom, orbit, tracking — auto or prompted. Specify "slow dolly forward" or let AI choose what fits.
Preserve the Original
Composition, colors, details stay intact. Your image is the starting frame. AI adds motion, not distortion.
Multiple AI Models
Veo 3.1 for cinematic, Kling for speed, Hailuo for smooth motion. Pick the model that matches your need.
1080p Output
Input requirements and output resolution depend on the selected model and mode. Check the options shown in Studio before uploading.

Frequently Asked Questions
Start with a clear, sharp image and a well-defined subject. Check the selected image-to-video model for supported file types, image dimensions and framing before uploading.
It does. Digital art, paintings, sketches, AI-generated images — all animate. Realistic artwork moves most naturally.
Describe the movement you want, such as a slow camera pan to the right. Whether a prompt is required or can be left blank depends on the selected model and mode.
Photo to video keeps your image and adds motion. Text to video creates new video from scratch. You can combine both — upload a photo AND add a text prompt.
Blurry or compressed images can limit the detail in the result. Use a clear source image that meets the selected model’s requirements, then inspect the generated clip for artifacts.
