Turn any image into a short video
Image-to-video starts from a picture you already have and adds motion: a slow push-in, drifting steam, a gentle breeze. Because the image defines the look, you only need to describe what moves and what must stay the same.
Why it works for this
Your image stays the anchor
The photo sets the subject, colors and composition. The prompt adds movement instead of reinventing the scene.
Camera control in plain words
Ask for a slow push-in, a partial orbit, a pan or a pull-back reveal. No technical settings to learn.
Works with many kinds of images
Product photos, food, portraits, illustrations, posters and landscapes can all be animated.
Example prompts to start from
Copy one, then change the subject, lighting and camera move.

Questions
What kind of image works best?
Sharp, well-lit images with a clear subject and a simple background. The whole subject should be in frame.
Why did my subject change slightly?
Models can drift, especially in longer clips or with complex motion. Use short clips, one simple movement, and write what must stay unchanged in the prompt.
Can I animate a photo of a real person?
Only if you have their permission. Do not animate other people's likeness without consent. See the Terms page.
