How to make a video from a photo

Start with one clear subject and one simple movement. This makes the result easier to review and refine.

  1. 01

    Choose Image to video and upload

    Open the generator, select Image to video and upload a clear image. For a product shot, keep the full item visible with a readable silhouette and enough space around it.

  2. 02

    Describe motion and choose settings

    Write what moves, how the camera moves and what should stay consistent. Choose a model, duration, aspect ratio and resolution from the options available in the generator.

  3. 03

    Generate, review and download

    Check the displayed credit cost, then generate. Review the subject, motion and edges throughout the clip. Adjust one instruction at a time and download a result that fits your use.

A practical starting prompt

Describe the change, keep the image as the anchor

A motion prompt is most useful when it adds direction to the image. Name the action, camera and pace, then identify the details you want to preserve.

Use the uploaded bottle photo as the opening frame. Slowly push the camera closer while a soft reflection moves across the glass. Keep the bottle centered and upright. Preserve its shape, cap color and label placement. One continuous shot with a calm pace.

A sample prompt to adapt to your image. Start with one clear camera move and refine the result from there.

Give your photo a clear direction

Image to video works from the visual information you provide. Better source material and a focused motion brief make iteration more deliberate.

  • Use a clear, relevant source image

    A product photo suits a product showcase; a landscape suits an atmosphere clip. If you need a different background or crop, prepare the image before animating it.

  • Keep the first motion simple

    A slow push-in, a small camera move or subtle environmental motion is a useful first draft. Large rotations may require the model to invent parts that are not visible in the photo.

  • Leave room for your final message

    Plan space around the subject if you will add a headline or offer later. Add precise labels and promotional copy during editing, after choosing the clip you want.

Image to video questions

Can I use a product photo?

Yes. Upload your product image in Image to video and describe the motion. A clear subject with visible details is a useful starting point. Check packaging, text and proportions in the generated clip before publishing.

Can I choose the length and format?

The generator provides duration, aspect ratio and resolution settings for the selected model. Available choices vary by model; review the current options and credit cost before submitting.

Will the product stay exactly the same?

An input image and preservation instructions help guide the result, but generation can alter details. Use the preview to check your product throughout the clip, especially logos, labels and parts that become visible as the camera moves.
