Create a video from one photo
Give one treasured adult portrait a quiet breath of motion.
Before you start
Use one clearly adult, fully clothed person with an unobstructed face. Head and shoulders should be reasonably sharp; avoid groups, heavy blur, cropped facial features and private text.

Photo motion, particles and your text; no new AI scene. Sound is added only when available and selected.
Standard mode automatically uses Kling 2.6, Vidu Q4 or Wan 2.2 based on your photo count and sound setting. Seedance 2.0 Fast and Seedance 2.5 are optional upgrades, selected only with your explicit price confirmation. The studio shows the model and credit cost before generation. Media safety review uses Google Gemini 3.8 Flash. Free photo animation runs in your browser without generating a new AI scene. Check current availability before uploading or buying credits.

Before you downloadFree export format depends on your browser (WebM or MP4). Use Chrome or Edge if export is unavailable. Sound options create an original instrumental or scene soundtrack; they do not reproduce a named song. AI results can include imperfections. Credits are returned when an AI video is confirmed to have failed.
Two ways to animate a photo
AI video generates new frames and can give the subject visible movement, as in the reviewed pet example above. It uses paid credits when available, and the result can vary. Review the live credit cost in the studio before creating.
Photo animation · Free keeps the original image. It adds preset camera movement, decorative effects, optional text and instrumental sound in your browser. It cannot make a person or pet independently walk, gesture or speak.
Create new motion with AI image to video
Use the AI image-to-video maker to generate a new scene from one photo. Choose a template whose action fits your input image. A clear adult portrait, pet or product photo with room around the subject gives the model space for one visible action. Standard mode automatically selects Kling 2.6, Vidu Q4 or Wan 2.2 and shows the model and price before you confirm. Optional Seedance 2.0 Fast and Seedance 2.5 upgrades cost 2 and 4 credits and require your explicit selection.
If you only want a lightweight greeting or product card, switch to Photo animation · Free. That editor moves the whole image and adds optional text; it does not produce the kind of subject motion shown in the example.
Start with one photo
Use a JPG, PNG or WebP image up to 20 MB. Portraits must show clearly adult, fully clothed people who have authorized this use. You can also use a pet or product photo you own or have permission to use.
Sign in and confirm permission before uploading. Your photo and text are checked for safety before preview and creation.

Choose a look before you start
The studio opens with a quiet adult portrait look; switch the template if you have a pet or product photo. Browse photo-to-video template guides to compare requirements. See a gentle pet look or a product look. For a greeting, try the birthday video maker. Guide images show style concepts, not guaranteed output samples.
Animate your photo →Photo animation questions
Does the AI video make the subject move?
Yes. The image-to-video model generates new frames in which the subject can move. The reviewed pet example on this page shows a cat approaching the camera. Your result depends on the photo, template and model output and may differ.
Can I animate a photo online for free?
Yes, but the free option is preset browser motion applied to the original photo, with optional text. It does not generate new subject motion. AI video is a separate credit-based option when available.
Do I need to install an app?
No. Both the free photo-motion editor and the AI-video studio run in your browser. Sign-in and safety review are required before uploading.
How much does AI photo-to-video cost?
AI video uses paid credits. Check the live studio for current availability and the exact credit cost before creating. The free preset-motion option uses no credits.
