Animate Image

Turn a still image into a short video with motion, optionally placing the subject into a described scene first.

Bring a still image to life as a short video. Add natural motion to a product shot, avatar, or scene without filming anything.

What it does

Animate Image takes a single still and generates a short clip from it (image-to-video). You can animate the image as-is, or first composite the subject into a described scene so the motion happens in a new setting. The output is a video clip you can use on its own or fold into a longer render.

How to use it

  1. Open the Images tools and pick Animate Image.
  2. Upload the still you want to animate.
  3. Optionally describe a scene to place the subject into before it animates.
  4. Add a short prompt describing the motion you want.
  5. Generate the clip and preview the result.
  6. Download the video, or carry it into your project to keep building.

Tips

  • Start from a clean, high-resolution still — run Photo Enhance first if it looks soft.
  • Use Background Remove when you want the subject dropped into a fresh scene cleanly.
  • Keep motion prompts simple and specific; subtle movement usually reads best.
  • Animate a product or avatar to add life to an otherwise static ad.
