What is Image to Video AI?

Image to video starts where a text prompt leaves off: you already have the picture. Upload it, write what moves and what the camera does, and the model renders a short clip that opens on your image. Faces, products and colors stay as you made them, because the model only has to invent the motion.Good starting points are a product shot, a portrait, a landscape or a still from the AI image generator. For a clip from words alone, use the AI video generator.

How to use Image to Video

Three steps from an idea to a finished result.

  1. 11. Upload the picture the clip should open on
  2. 22. Write the motion: what moves, how fast, and what the camera does
  3. 33. Pick a model and a length, check the credits on the button, and generate

Tips for better results

  • Spend your words on movement. Describing what is already in the picture can make the model redraw it.
  • Ask for one or two motions per clip, such as "the dog's ears flap as it runs, the camera tracks alongside". A long list of actions tends to warp hands and faces.
  • Name the camera: "locked-off shot", "slow orbit to the left", "dolly back to reveal the room".
  • Match the photo to the clip shape you want: a tall picture for 9:16 Reels and Shorts, a wide one for 16:9.
  • Test the motion on Veo 3.1 Lite at 4 seconds, then render the version you keep on Kling 3.0 Pro or Veo 3.1 Fast.

Frequently asked questions

What people ask before they use Image to Video.

1What does image to video do?
It makes a short video out of one still. The clip opens on your picture and the model invents only the movement you describe, so the people, colors and setting are the ones you uploaded.
2Which model should I pick?
Kling 3.0 Standard is the default and is set up for animating photos. Kling 3.0 Pro adds more cinematic camera work, Hailuo 2.3 handles fast body movement at 1080p, and Veo 3.1 Lite has the lowest price per second in the list.
3How long are the clips?
Kling 3.0, Seedance 2.0, Wan 2.7 and Grok Imagine Video make 5 or 10 seconds, Veo 3.1 makes 4, 6 or 8, and Hailuo 2.3 makes 6 or 10. The page starts at 5 seconds on Kling 3.0 Standard.
4How much does a clip cost?
Video is priced per second at a rate set for each model. Kling 3.0 Standard is 190 credits a second, so 5 seconds come to 950 credits and 10 seconds to 1,900. The Generate button shows the total before you start, and a clip that fails is refunded automatically.
5Will the clip have sound?
Some models generate audio along with the picture, among them Veo 3.1, Seedance 2.0, Wan 2.7 and Kling 3.0 Pro. The description of each model in the picker says whether it adds sound.
6Can I animate a photo of someone else?
Only with that person's agreement, and only a parent or guardian may upload a photo of a child. Uploads pass through the same content checks as prompts.
7Can I use the clips commercially?
Yes, for clips made on a paid plan or with credits you bought. Clips made only with free credits are for personal use.
