AI Video: turn any image into a short cinematic clip
With AI Video, you can bring your photos to life in just a few clicks.
Whether it’s an old portrait, a product image, or digital art - our AI adds natural motion, expressions, and camera effects to make it feel alive.
What you can do with it
- Animate portraits - see subtle smiles, natural blinks, or camera pans.
- Make your art move - add cinematic depth to static illustrations.
- Create short product videos - perfect for social media or ads.
- Bring old memories to life - restore and animate old photos in one flow.
Each generation creates a 5-second MP4 with generated audio for 20 credits, keeping the aspect ratio of your starting image. Videos are generated at 720p and can be upscaled up to 4K with the separate Video Upscaler. Video upscaling uses additional credits.
How It Works
💡 Start with an image, choose a preset or write your own prompt, and describe what should happen. The generator creates motion and audio together. You can request dialogue, sound effects or background ambience in the prompt.
How to use AI Video
1️⃣ Open the AI Video workspace
Log into your account and go to the** Image to Video** tab.
2️⃣ Upload your image
Supported formats: JPG, PNG, WebP.
Tip: higher-quality images = better animation.
3️⃣ Choose a preset
Each preset is optimized for a specific type of image:
Portrait Smile → natural motion for faces
Group Shot → subtle movement for several people
Product → smooth camera movement around objects
Universal → great for landscapes, pets, or AI art
4️⃣ Adjust motion (optional)
Control: Camera movement: static, zoom, pan, or orbit; Pace: from gentle to dynamic
For speech, put a short line in quotation marks and describe the tone. For example: She says, "You're late," in a warm, teasing voice, then smiles. Keep the camera still. Keep the dialogue short enough to fit within five seconds. For sound effects, describe the action and sound together, such as water pouring over ice with a fizz.
5️⃣ Click “Generate”
Each generation costs 20 credits, including audio. Your result is a five-second MP4. Processing time can vary.
6️⃣ Download or share
Preview the finished clip with sound on, then download the MP4. Check the movement, spoken words and lip sync before sharing it. If you cannot hear anything, check the player’s mute setting and your device volume.
For a higher-resolution export, use Video Upscaler to upscale the finished clip up to 4K. This is a separate step with an additional credit cost; check the displayed cost before processing.
Combine it with other tools
If your image is old, blurry, or low-quality - you can enhance it first using:
- Restore Photo model for old images
- Enhance Face or Ultra Upscale models for portraits and details
Then, animate it right after - no need to reupload!
FAQ
Q: How long does it take to process?
Processing time can vary. Check the status of your submitted generation before starting another one. If it stays pending or shows an error, contact support with the error message and the time you submitted it.
Q: How much does video generation cost?
A five-second video costs 20 credits, including generated audio. This replaces the previous 10-credit price. Each new generation costs another 20 credits.
Q: Can I generate a video with the 10 free credits?
No. One video requires 20 credits, so the standard 10 free credits are not enough. You can add credits through a plan or credit pack.
Q: Why is the output 720p instead of 1080p?
The upgraded generator produces 720p video with generated audio, including speech and lip sync. The previous generator produced 1080p video.
You can upscale your finished clip up to 4K using Video Upscaler. Upscaling is a separate processing step and uses additional credits beyond the 20-credit generation cost.
Q: Can I upload multiple photos at once?
Not yet - for now, it’s one image per animation.
Q: Can I animate AI-generated art?
Yes! The “Universal” preset works best for that.
Q: Can I make it longer than 5 seconds?
No - current version supports only 5-second clips.
Q: What if my image is too small or blurry?
Enhance it first using our upscalers or “Old Photo” model, then animate.
Notes & Limitations
- NSFW or unsafe content will be automatically blocked.
- Animation results may vary depending on lighting and subject type.
- You can request speech, sound effects and ambience in the prompt. Results can vary, so review the audio and lip sync before sharing.
