How to use Image to Video

  1. 01

    Start with a clear image

    Upload a photo, product shot, illustration, or scene. Start with a clear subject and enough space around it for the movement you want.

  2. 02

    Direct the movement

    Describe what moves and how the camera behaves. Set the length and resolution using the options for your chosen model.

  3. 03

    Generate, review, download

    Check subject consistency, movement, and fine details in the preview. Adjust one instruction at a time, then download your preferred result.

Ideas for your next project

Product reveals

Animate an existing product photograph with a slow camera move. Specify which packaging, colors, and shapes should remain consistent.

Portraits with atmosphere

Try a subtle head movement, wind in the hair, or changing light. Small motions are a useful starting point when facial consistency matters.

Illustrations in motion

Add drifting clouds, moving fabric, or environmental motion to artwork. Describe the motion while preserving the original visual style.

Creative decisions

Plan the movement before you generate

A source image already supplies the subject, colors, and composition. Use the prompt to explain what should happen over time. Focus on the movement instead of describing everything already in the picture.

01

Choose a frame with room to move

Look at the edges of your source image. A tightly cropped hand, wing, or product may have little room for the movement you request. Start from a wider composition when the action needs space, and keep important faces and lettering large enough to inspect.

02

Give the subject one main action

A head turn, a small wave, or a moving curtain can bring the image to life. For an early test, avoid combining a large pose change with several moving objects. Increase the complexity only after the simpler action works.

03

Choose how the camera moves

A fixed camera helps you judge subject movement. A gentle push-in emphasizes depth; a tracking shot changes the relationship between foreground and background. Name one camera move and its pace instead of combining orbit, zoom, pan, and tilt in the same instruction.

04

Match the output to the source

Check the selected model’s available aspect ratios and duration before generating. A portrait source and a landscape output can lead to a very different composition. Choose the intended destination early, then review the displayed credit cost for those settings.

Prompt workshop

A motion prompt that leaves less to guess

This writing example is intended for a portrait with a window and a curtain. Adapt the objects to your own upload; asking for objects absent from the image can change the scene.

Starting idea

Make this portrait cinematic.

More specific direction

The person turns their head slightly toward the window, then holds a relaxed expression. A light breeze moves the curtain. Keep the camera fixed, the same face and outfit, and the existing room lighting. One continuous, gentle movement.
Action
The head turn gives the subject one simple action.
Secondary motion
The curtain adds atmosphere without asking the subject to change location.
Continuity
These details tell the model what to keep. Compare them with the original when you review the clip.

Review the whole clip, not just the first frame

Pause near the beginning, middle, and end. Compare the subject with your upload and watch the motion at normal speed before deciding whether the result is ready.

The face or product changes

Large turns can reveal details that are not visible in the source.

Try next

Reduce the turn or camera travel. Keep the subject at a similar angle to the starting image.

The scene feels too busy

Subject motion, background motion, and camera motion may compete.

Try next

Keep the camera still and retain only the most important action for the next test.

Edges or lettering drift

Small details can change between generated frames.

Try next

Use a clearer source and less movement. Inspect labels frame by frame if they matter to the final use.

The ending feels abrupt

The requested action may need more time than the chosen clip allows.

Try next

Ask for a shorter action followed by a brief hold, or select a longer supported duration.

Image to Video FAQ

Can I try image to video for free?

Yes. New accounts get 20 free credits. Check the cost on the Generate button and choose settings that fit your balance. Some models and settings cost more than the signup allowance. You can buy a subscription or a one-time credit pack when you need more.

How is image to video different from text to video?

Image to video uses an uploaded picture as the starting frame. Text to video creates the scene from your description. Use an image when the initial composition already matters to your project.

Does the image need a motion prompt?

Add a prompt describing your intended movement. It is more useful to say “slowly push toward the bottle while the leaves move” than to repeat everything already visible in the image.

Which duration, resolution, and audio options are available?

Options depend on the selected model. The generator shows its supported settings and credit cost before generation. Some models generate audio; others create visual-only clips.

Will the result preserve every detail?

Generated motion can change faces, lettering, and small objects. Review the preview before using it, and try a simpler movement or another model if details drift.

Can I animate an AI-generated image?

Yes. Save the image you want to use, then upload it as the starting image. Inspect its faces, hands, and small details first: animation can make existing visual problems more noticeable.

Can the result form a seamless loop?

You can describe a repeating movement and a return to the starting pose, but the first and last frames may not match. Preview the transition and use a separate video editor to trim or blend the ends if needed.

Should I edit the source or rewrite the motion prompt?

Edit the source when the subject, crop, or background is wrong before anything moves. Rewrite the motion prompt when the still image works but the action, camera, or pace needs adjustment.
