Image to Video AI uses an uploaded still as the visual starting point for a generated clip. The image establishes the subject and composition, while your prompt directs movement and camera behavior. The chosen model determines which inputs and output controls are available.

Explore the dealsWhy use Image to Video AI
Start from your own image
Use a photo, illustration or generated frame as the visual starting point.
Guide how the scene moves
Describe subject movement, camera behavior and atmosphere while the image anchors the composition.
Compare compatible models
Switch among models that support image-led video generation and use the controls each model exposes.
Carry the result into a broader workflow
Create a source visual with related image tools, animate it here, and refine selected footage with Video to Video AI or AI Video Upscaler. These linked capabilities make it easier to develop an asset without rebuilding the concept at every stage.
What Image to Video AI can animate
Animate a prepared still image
Add motion to a photograph, illustration, product frame, or generated artwork while the uploaded composition anchors the opening visual direction.
Guide movement with a prompt
Explain how the subject, environment, and camera should move instead of repeating details the source image already communicates clearly.
Guide a transition with ending imagery
When the selected model supports an ending frame, provide another image to indicate where the animated sequence should arrive.
Compare compatible video models
Use one source image across available models and compare their treatment of camera motion, subject stability, texture, and prompt adherence.
Build motion assets from product imagery
Turn an existing product photo or campaign key visual into a moving concept for listings, presentations, and creative testing.
Continue with related APIXO tools
Prepare a source with an image generator, animate it here, then use AI Video Upscaler when a chosen clip needs higher-resolution delivery.
For bringing visuals to life
E-commerce sellers
Turn owned product photos into motion concepts for listings, ads, and campaign tests without changing the item shown in the source frame.
Illustrators and designers
Animate artwork, posters, character studies, and key visuals for portfolios or presentations while keeping the original design as the visual anchor.
Social media creators
Add deliberate motion to portraits, travel photos, and prepared graphics when a static post needs a short moving companion.
Photographers and studios
Develop motion previews from selected stills for client treatments, gallery promotion, or early creative review before planning a video shoot.

Tips
Use a sharp image whose framing already matches the video you want.
Describe motion, not the picture itself; the image already shows what is in the scene.
Keep camera movement simple when the subject also moves.
Choose a source with clear subject boundaries and enough surrounding space for the movement you request, especially near the frame edges.
Preview important faces, hands, text, and product details after generation because complex movement can change small visual features between frames.
Frequently Asked Questions
Use a clear, well-composed source with the main subject easy to distinguish and enough space for the requested movement. Avoid relying on tiny text or fragile details, and make sure you own the image or have permission to use it for generation.
Some compatible model modes provide an additional ending-image input, while others begin from one source frame only. Choose the model first and follow the fields shown in the composer. When an ending frame is available, use imagery with a transition the model can plausibly connect.
Generation uses pay-as-you-go credits rather than a fixed price for every task. The estimate beside the Generate button updates for the model and parameters you select, so you can review the expected charge before submitting. Changing the model, quality, format, or other available controls can change that estimate.
You can explore the page, compare the available models, and inspect their controls without signing in. An account is required when you are ready to submit a generation task, monitor its progress, and access the completed result in your workspace.
Requirements depend on the selected model and workflow. The composer displays the inputs, accepted upload types, and controls that apply to your current selection. If you switch models, review those fields again because supported assets and settings may differ.
Commercial use depends on your rights to every input, the selected model terms, and the rules that apply where you publish. Use only prompts and source assets you are authorized to use, review the applicable terms, and check the final clip before distributing it.
