How to Animate Images into Video
Transform static artwork and photos into cinematic video in three simple steps.
Upload the Start Frame
Upload one JPG, PNG, or WebP image as the required start frame, plus an optional end frame for transition control.
Define Motion & Camera Actions
Describe the desired motion dynamics (e.g., character smile, orbit push-in, wind blowing), and optionally set end frames and duration.
Render & Export Video
Click generate to render in the cloud. Preview with audio playback and download lossless high-bitrate MP4 videos.
Precision Controlled Image-to-Video Engine
Preserve fine subject textures while generating natural physics-based movement and synchronized audio.
Physics-Based Realistic Motion
Accurate physical modeling ensures believable human movement, fluid dynamics, and coherent lighting shifts.
Cinematic Camera Direction
Direct zooms, pans, pedestal sweeps, and vertigo zooms with professional compositional depth.
First & Last Frame Interpolation
Provide both starting and ending keyframe images; the AI seamlessly bridges the transition for controlled narrative beats.
4 to 15 Seconds Duration
Choose a whole-second duration from 4 to 15 seconds, with 768P or 2K output.
Native Synchronized Audio
Intelligently synthesizes environmental audio and ambient sound effects aligned with on-screen action.
High-Fidelity Identity Preservation
Faithfully preserves facial structure, apparel patterns, and color balance without distortion or tearing.
