What is Image to Video?

Image to Video turns a still picture into a moving scene. Your image sets the subject and visual direction; your prompt describes what happens next. Animate a product, a character, or a place, then review and download the finished clip in the same workspace.

See your pictures in motion

Explore product reveals, moving viewpoints, artwork, and character moments with Image to Video.

Put products in motion

Give a product photograph a role in your next launch or social post. With Image to Video, a cup, an accessory, or a styled scene can become the focus of a short reveal. Check logos, packaging, and fine details before choosing a clip for your final edit.

Put products in motion

Step into the scene

A landscape or location image gives Image to Video a place to begin. Explore a moving viewpoint for a travel teaser, an opening shot, or a scene transition. Newly revealed parts of the setting are generated, so review how buildings, scenery, and people continue beyond the original frame.

Step into the scene

Set your artwork in motion

Turn an illustration or an imagined world into a moving concept for a story pitch, music teaser, or creative presentation. Image to Video uses your starting picture to establish the visual idea while a motion prompt introduces the action. Try a change in atmosphere or a single movement through the scene.

Set your artwork in motion

Give characters a moment

Start with a pet portrait, a mascot, or a character concept and explore a short performance. Image to Video can give a greeting, a profile introduction, or a playful social post a moving subject. Watch facial details, paws, hands, and costume edges when you review the animation.

Give characters a moment

Why choose Image to Video on Motion Transfer?

Build on the picture you already have, compare creative options, and keep your source, settings, and finished clip in one workspace.

Keep your visual starting point

Bring a photo, illustration, or product scene that already expresses your idea. Image to Video gives that picture a new use, letting your prompt focus on movement.

Choose before you generate

Compare available models and their output settings in the same composer.

Continue from a saved image

Send a finished image from your history into an Image to Video draft. Review the picture, add a motion prompt, and choose when to generate; opening the draft does not spend credits.

Image to Video key features

Controls for turning one starting picture into a clip you can review, refine, and use in a larger project.

One-image starting frame

Upload a picture in Image to video mode. The composer places the starting image before your motion prompt, keeping the visual reference close to the action you describe.

Editable motion prompts

Describe what the subject does and how the camera moves. Image to Video leaves the prompt editable, so you can explore a quiet gesture, a slow push-in, or a more active scene.

Image to Video models

Start with Seedance 2.0 Mini or choose another available video model. Input modes and settings follow the selected model.

Output controls that fit the model

Open Settings for the supported duration, resolution, and aspect ratio. Sound appears when the selected model offers it. These choices update the Image to Video estimate, helping you choose an output for a social post, a presentation, or an edit.

Examples and your creations

Use Examples for visual inspiration, then switch to My creations to review your own requests. A new submission opens the results tab. Return to the examples when you want another idea, while your pending request stays available in the same workspace.

Preview, download, and revisit

Play the finished video before downloading it. View all opens your saved video history, so you can return to an available result after leaving this page.

Image to Video pricing

Choose a subscription or a one-time credit pack for image and video creation. Image to Video uses the same account credits as the other generators. The plan examples below illustrate video output; the estimate in your composer reflects the model and settings for your specific request.

Image to Video FAQ

Answers about starting images, motion, models, credits, and finished clips.

What do I need to start an Image to Video request?

Use a starting image and a prompt describing its motion. A photo, illustration, or generated still can provide the visual direction. The upload control checks the selected model’s media requirements. You can prepare the form before signing in, then sign in when prompted to submit.

Which models can I use for Image to Video?

The default is Seedance 2.0 Mini. The model picker also offers the other published Seedance models, MiniMax H3, Grok Imagine Video, Kling 3.0 and Turbo, and Veo 3.1 options. Available input modes and settings depend on your selection. Dedicated motion-control models remain in the homepage studio, where a character photo and an action clip have separate roles.

How much does Image to Video cost?

Each submitted generation uses credits. The estimate beside Generate reflects the selected model and settings; changing duration, resolution, or supported sound options can change that number. Review it after choosing your setup. Uploading an image, editing the prompt, and opening a saved-image draft do not start a generation.

Can I send a generated image to Image to Video?

Yes. Choose Image to Video from a finished image to open a starting-image draft. Review the attached picture, write a motion prompt, and check the model and settings. The handoff prepares the request and waits for your submission.

Will Image to Video preserve every detail in my picture?

The source guides the result, but generated motion can alter faces, lettering, product edges, or background details. New camera angles can also reveal areas absent from the still. Begin with a clear image and a focused action, then review the complete clip. For precise branding or identity details, inspect the result before including it in a campaign or publishing it.

Can I choose the video length, shape, and sound?

Open Settings to see the options supported by your chosen model. Seedance 2.0 Mini offers 480p and 720p, with durations from 4 to 15 seconds. Other models offer different combinations. A sound option appears where supported, and its setting is included in the estimate.

Are these clips generated from one image on this page?

The displayed clips are licensed illustrative examples, including examples made with additional motion references. They demonstrate creative directions rather than a single-image benchmark or a promise of identical output. Your Image to Video result depends on your own starting image, prompt, model, and settings.

How is Image to Video different from motion transfer?

Image to Video starts from a picture and motion you describe. Motion transfer uses a recorded action clip to guide a character photo; use the homepage studio when the performance already exists. For a scene you want to invent entirely from text, open the AI Video Generator.

Where can I find and use the finished video?

Your clip appears in My creations, with playback and download controls. View all opens video history so you can revisit available results. Before publishing, review visual details and confirm you have the necessary rights to your inputs and intended use under the applicable terms. Showcase examples do not grant you a license to reuse their footage.
