Turning a photo into a moving video

Upload from phone or desktop and animate an image into a short clip.

Image-to-video takes a still photo — a product shot, portrait, or scene — and generates realistic motion. You can upload from your phone camera or gallery, including HEIC files from iPhones.

Best inputs

Sharp, well-lit images with clear subjects work best. Avoid heavily edited collages and screenshots with UI overlays.

Direct motion prompts

After uploading, describe what should move: 'slow dolly-in on the coffee cup, steam rising' produces better results than 'make it move'.
