AI Animate Image

AI animate image means using a still photograph as the starting point for a generated video. A motion prompt describes the action or camera movement, so you can animate a photo without drawing individual frames.

Use a clear JPG, PNG or WebP as a starting point, then check the upload and model requirements in your workflow. Keep the subject visible and avoid blurry details you would not want carried into motion.

Clip duration depends on the video model and the settings available in the workflow. Choose a short movement for your first test, then check the duration and credit cost before running a longer version.

You can guide movement through a text prompt. Describe a camera move, subject action or environmental effect, and say what should stay still. The model interprets that direction, so preview the result before refining it.

Image animation is a form of AI video generation that starts from a photo. Text-to-video starts from a written scene instead. An image gives the model a visual reference, but generated details can still change.

Resolution depends on the selected model and its settings. Check the available output options before running, especially when you need a particular delivery size. Any separate upscaling step has its own processing requirements and cost.

You can animate separate images into individual clips and combine them in an editor. Reuse the photo-and-prompt workflow for each shot, keeping motion direction consistent when you want the clips to feel like one sequence.

Building and duplicating workflows is free. Video generation uses credits, with the cost depending on the model and settings. Check your account for any introductory offer; ongoing generation requires paid credits. Review the cost before running.
