1
Upload a still image
Choose a clear source image with the subject, composition, and visual style you want the video to preserve.
2
Describe the movement
Explain how the subject, background, and camera should move, then choose a compatible model and settings.
3
Generate and review the clip
Check the estimated credit cost, generate the video, and refine the prompt or continue with another compatible workflow.

When to use image-to-video AI
Image-to-video is for animating a still photo, illustration, or product visual while preserving its composition—ideal when a strong frame should drive the look of the clip.
Upload your source image, describe subject and camera motion, and pick a compatible model. The workspace shows input requirements, duration options, and credit estimates before you render.
You can also explore text-to-video and multi-reference video workflows when you want broader scene generation beyond a single still frame.
