Image to Video
Transform your static images into dynamic videos. Upload an image and let AI bring it to life with smooth motion and cinematic effects.
AI Image to Video Examples & Showcase
See how AI transforms static images into dynamic videos with smooth motion, cinematic effects, and lifelike animation. Each example below was generated from a single uploaded image.
ANIMATE PHOTOS
Bring portrait photos and landscapes to life with natural motion — hair blowing in the wind, water flowing, clouds drifting. Transform any still image into a cinematic moment.
PRODUCT ANIMATION
Turn product shots into dynamic showcase videos with smooth rotation, lighting effects, and eye-catching motion. Perfect for e-commerce, advertising, and social media marketing.
CHARACTER ANIMATION
Give life to illustrated characters, digital art, and portraits with AI-powered animation. Create expressive movements, gestures, and actions from a single reference image.
How to Generate Video from an Image
Transform any image into a dynamic video in three simple steps — upload, describe, and generate.
Upload Your Image
Upload the image you want to animate. Supports JPEG, PNG, and WebP formats. Use high-resolution images for the best results — the AI preserves your image's details, colors, and composition throughout the generated video.
Add Prompt & Settings
Describe the motion and effects you want to see. Select your preferred AI model, aspect ratio, duration, and resolution. Pair your image with a descriptive prompt for precise control over how your image comes to life.
Generate & Download
Click generate and watch AI animate your image in minutes. Preview the video directly in your browser, then download it in high-quality MP4 format — ready to share on social media, embed in presentations, or use in your creative projects.

Image to Video Tips for Better Results
Get the most out of AI image animation with these tips. Small changes in your input can dramatically improve the quality of your generated videos.
Use High-Quality Source Images
Start with sharp, well-lit images for the best animation results. Higher resolution inputs give the AI more detail to work with, producing smoother motion and more realistic video output. Avoid blurry, compressed, or low-resolution images.
Pair Images with Descriptive Prompts
Don't just upload an image — add a prompt that describes the motion you want. For a landscape photo, try 'gentle breeze moving through the grass, clouds slowly drifting across the sky, warm golden hour lighting.' The prompt guides the AI's animation decisions.
Describe Motion, Not Appearance
Since the AI already sees your image, focus your prompt on describing movement and action rather than what things look like. Instead of 'a red car on a street,' say 'the car drives forward smoothly, camera follows alongside, city lights blur in the background.'
Match Style Between Image and Prompt
Keep your prompt style consistent with the image. A photorealistic photo works best with naturalistic motion descriptions, while an illustration pairs better with stylized animation directions. Mismatched styles can produce jarring results.
Consider Resolution and Aspect Ratio
Choose output settings that match your source image's aspect ratio when possible. A portrait photo animates most naturally in 9:16, while a landscape image suits 16:9. This prevents cropping or stretching artifacts in the final video.
Frame Your Subject for Motion
Images with clear subjects and some space around them animate better. The AI needs room to create movement — tightly cropped images limit animation possibilities. Leave some breathing room around your main subject for the best results.
Compare Image to Video AI Models
Choose the right AI model for your image animation needs. Each model handles image-to-video generation differently — compare capabilities side by side.
