FAQs

Frequently asked.

What is the Image to Video AI tool?

Image to Video AI is a tool that transforms a still photo or image into a complete, moving video. Simply upload the picture you want to animate and describe the motion, and our AI video generator handles the camera movement, animation, sound effects, and even potential voiceovers. It's the perfect solution for quickly producing unique video content from images you already have, for social media, marketing, or creative projects, without needing complex editing skills.

How do I turn an image into a video?

It's incredibly simple! First, upload the photo or image you want to bring to life. Second, describe the motion you want and set any audio preferences. Third, click 'Animate Image.' Our AI will then process your image and generate a video, turning your still picture into a moving clip.

How does the AI handle audio like voiceovers and sound effects?

Our AI is designed to enhance your animated clip with appropriate audio. It automatically generates relevant sound effects (SFX) and ambience based on the content of your image and prompt. Depending on your settings, the AI can also generate a voiceover to narrate the scene using our range of AI voices.

What video aspect ratio will my generated video have?

You can animate your image into any format. By default, videos are optimized for 9:16, perfect for TikTok, YouTube Shorts, and Instagram Reels, but you can also export widescreen and square formats.

What is the cost of using the Image to Video AI tool?

Animating images with our Image to Video AI consumes credits from your account. The specific number of credits required will be displayed before you generate the video and depends on your current subscription plan.

Do I keep the rights to videos made from my own photos?

Yes. When you upload your own image and animate it, the resulting video is yours to use and share according to your plan. Please make sure you have the rights to any image you upload, and avoid animating photos of real people without their consent.
