Image to Video AI
In AI Studios, the Video Generator turns a still image into a short video clip. Upload a JPG, PNG or WEBP as the Start Image, describe the motion in a prompt, set the duration, aspect ratio and audio, then generate. Some models also let you set an End Image for the last frame.

How to turn an image into a video
- Open Apps > Video Generator (AI Videos tab) and choose a model at the top of the panel.
- Upload your image as the Start Image (JPG, PNG or WEBP). It becomes the first frame.
- Describe the motion you want — for example, a person waving or clouds drifting across the sky.
- Set the duration, aspect ratio and audio. With some models you can add an End Image to set the last frame.
- Click Generate — the generative credits needed are shown on the button. When the clip is ready, review it and download it.
Models you can use
| Model | Notes |
|---|---|
| Veo 3.1 | Google's video model in AI Studios |
| Kling 2.6 Pro | Cinematic video with integrated audio |
| Seedance 2.5 | Generates video and audio together |
Options such as End Image, duration and audio depend on the model you choose.
Tips for better results
- Use a clear, high-quality image with one main subject for more predictable motion.
- Busy or crowded images can give less predictable motion.
Image to video or talking photo?
Image to video adds motion to a scene. If you want a person in a photo to speak a script with lip sync, use a photo avatar instead — it turns a single photo into a talking avatar.
