Image-to-Video

Image-to-video is AI that animates a still image into a video clip, adding motion while keeping the original picture as the starting frame.

Image-to-video takes a photo or generated image and brings it to life — panning the camera, animating a subject, or extending the scene into motion. Because it's anchored to a real starting frame, it gives you more control over the look than a pure text prompt.

It's the go-to for turning a product photo or a generated key visual into a short ad or social clip. A text prompt usually guides how the image should move.
