Image to Video AI: animate any photo
Turn a photo into a video in the browser. Kling, Veo, Seedance, Hailuo, PixVerse, Vidu and Lumyn's own motion models, with the price shown before you run.
Image to video takes one still and makes a few seconds of motion from it. Because the first frame is your photo, you control the look exactly, and the model only has to decide how things move. That makes it the most reliable way to get a video that looks the way you want.
Models to try
- Kling 3.0 Pro: smooth, natural motion for people.
- Veo 3.1 Motion: Google's model, cinematic camera moves.
- Seedance 2.0 Motion: strong at keeping faces consistent.
- Hailuo 2.3 Pro Motion: expressive action and physics.
- Lumyn 2.6 Motion: the house model, and uncensored.
Every video model and its price is on Models.
No prompt needed: video templates
For a finished effect from one photo, use a template: AI hug video, AI kiss video, dance, Ghibli style, claymation and pixel art.

FAQ
- What kind of photo works best?
- A sharp photo with the subject clearly visible and some space around it. The model keeps what is in the frame, so the first frame decides the look of the whole clip.
- How long are the videos?
- It depends on the model. Most offer a few lengths between about 4 and 15 seconds; the studio shows the options for the model you pick, and longer clips cost more.
- Do I have to write a prompt?
- A short one helps. Describe the motion, not the picture: "she turns her head and smiles", "slow push in, leaves blowing".
- Can I animate a photo without any prompt at all?
- Yes, with a template. Hug, Kiss, Dance and the other video effects on Explore need only the photo.
