How the AI animates a photo
The model treats the picture as the first frame and creates the next ones: how the person blinks, breathes and turns the head, how hair, water and leaves move. The face and the scene stay the same as in the photo.
Animate a photo with AI
Upload a photo, pick the motion, and the AI turns it into a short video: the person blinks and smiles, hair and clothes move, the camera slowly pushes in.
Photo
JPG, PNG or WebP up to 10 MB. Sharp photos where the face or subject is clearly visible work best.
Motion

Ideas
Bring old family photos to life, make a birthday greeting from a picture, animate a portrait for an avatar, or turn a product photo into a short clip for ads or stories.
FAQ
Is it free?
Yes, a free video generation is available every day after sign-up. Extra clips are charged from your balance.
Can I animate an old black-and-white photo?
Yes. It works best when the face is large and sharp. A badly damaged photo is better restored first with the photo enhancement tool.
How long is the video?
The clip is short, about 5 seconds: enough to bring the photo to life. In the video studio you can extend it and choose other settings.
Can I describe my own motion?
Yes, type it in "What should happen", for example "waves a hand" or "snow is falling". The AI adds it to the chosen motion.
Where does my photo go?
The photo is used only to create your video. The result appears in your history and is published only if you decide to share it.
