Begin with an image
Upload a still from your library or use an image you created in the text-to-image workspace.
Image animation workspace
Image to video AI for motion from a single still
Use a still image as the visual anchor, describe the camera or subject movement, and create a short animation in the AI Image Video image-to-video workspace. Choose the available model and supported output settings before generation.
Generation takes place in the linked workspace. Requirements and credit cost depend on the model and settings you choose.
A focused creative workflow
From a starting idea to a usable result
Describe the motion
Use a prompt to guide movement, camera intent, timing, and the feeling of the animated shot.
Compare and download
Generation takes place in the workspace, where you can inspect the clip and download the output.
How it works
A simple path to your next draft
This landing page is a guide. The linked workspace is where prompts, uploads, model choices, generation, and downloads happen.
1
Upload a clear starting image
Choose a still with the subject and composition you want to preserve as motion begins.
2
Add a motion prompt and settings
Explain the movement, then choose a supported model, aspect ratio, and duration in the workspace.
3
Generate, review, and download
The linked workspace performs the generation. Review the animation there before saving the result.
Model and settings
The right controls depend on the model
Different models support different inputs and output options. In the workspace, review the available model choice, aspect ratio, duration, and other settings before you generate. Credit requirements and cost also depend on those choices.

Keep the prompt and the format aligned
A portrait composition needs a different frame from a landscape scene. Likewise, a subtle animation prompt calls for a different direction from an energetic camera move. Start with the result you need, then choose the settings the selected model supports.
Use cases
Made for exploration, not empty promises
Product and campaign motion
Add a subtle camera move or reveal to a product still, poster, or launch concept.
Social image animation
Turn a portrait, illustration, or travel photo into a short moving post concept.
Mood and visual tests
Explore how light, weather, expressions, or environmental details could move.
Questions, answered
Image to video AI FAQ
What does image-to-video AI do?+
Image-to-video AI animates a still image into a short video guided by a motion prompt. On AI Image Video, the actual generation takes place in the linked image-to-video workspace.
What kind of image works well?+
Use a clear image with a visible subject and a composition you want to carry into motion. The best input and supported formats can vary by model in the workspace.
Can I control the animation?+
You can guide the motion with a prompt and choose from model settings exposed by the workspace. Exact controls, requirements, duration, and credit cost depend on the selected model and settings.
Can I make an image generated with AI Image Video move?+
Yes. Generate or select an image in the text-to-image workspace, then open the image-to-video workspace and use that still as your starting image.
