Image to Video AI Generator
Animate a photo in a few clicks. Upload a picture, describe the motion if you like, and get a short video with sound that keeps your subject and your framing. Photo to video, without editing software.
How to Turn a Photo into Video
Three steps from a still picture to an MP4 you can keep.
Upload a photo or image
Add a JPG, PNG or WebP up to 10MB to the image to video generator. A clear subject and good light give the cleanest motion.
Describe the motion
Say what should move and how, or leave it to the AI. Pick the length, resolution and aspect ratio; the credit cost updates as you choose.
Generate and download
Press Generate and download the finished MP4, sound included. Every clip also stays in My Creations.

Photo to Video AI: Common Questions
Formats, timing, sound, credits and rights.

What does an image to video AI generator do?
It takes one still picture and generates a short clip in which the subject moves: a face turns, hair lifts in the wind, the camera drifts closer. The subject and composition come from your photo; the motion comes from the AI, steered by your prompt if you write one.
How do I convert an image to video here?
Drop the picture into the upload box at the top of this page, add a short prompt if you want a particular movement, choose the length and resolution, and press Generate. If you are not signed in yet, you sign in at that step.
Which photos give the best results?
JPG, PNG and WebP files up to 10MB are accepted. Sharp, well-lit photos with one clear subject animate most cleanly; heavy filters, tiny faces and crowded group shots give the AI less to work with.
How long does it take?
About 2 minutes from pressing Generate. Keep the page open to watch it finish.
How much control do I have over the result?
The prompt decides what moves and how: a smile, a slow zoom, falling snow. Before generating you also choose the clip length, resolution and aspect ratio. A specific prompt lands closer to what you have in mind than a vague one.
What makes this photo to video tool different?
It is built to be simple to pay for and predictable to use: credits are bought once and never expire, a failed generation returns its credits automatically, and clips are ready in about 2 minutes. For a specific kind of video, such as a kiss, a hug or a rap duet, the pages above come with the motion already written.
Who owns the videos I make?
You do. The videos are yours to keep and use under our Terms of Service and content policy. The photos you upload are deleted automatically within 48 hours.
Can I try image to video for free?
New accounts get free starter credits, no credit card required, so you can make your first videos before choosing a credit pack. There is no subscription.
Can I use the videos for ads or client work?
Yes, within our Terms of Service and content policy: social posts, product demos, ads, presentations and client projects are all fine.
Can I turn a single photo into a video with AI?
Yes, one photo is all it needs. Portraits, pets, products, landscapes and old family pictures all work: people and animals get natural movement, scenes get camera motion and effects like drifting clouds or moving water. Photo to video AI works from that one frame, so the clip keeps your composition.
What format and resolution are the videos?
Every video downloads as an MP4. The default engine makes clips of 5 to 15 seconds at 480P or 768P; other engines in the menu go up to 1080p.
Do the videos have sound?
Yes. With the default engine every clip comes with an audio track, and it follows your prompt: describe waves, music or a voice and the sound is generated together with the picture.
Is this a slideshow maker?
No. It turns one photo into moving footage; it does not stitch several photos together over music. For a slideshow of many pictures, a slideshow editor is the better tool.
