These clips show ideas for portraits, products, characters, and scenery. Upload your own image and describe the movement you want.
Portraits & social clips

Upload a product photo and describe a close-up, reveal, or unboxing moment. Try the angle before using it in a longer ad.
Characters & digital art
Animate a Character Drawing
Upload a character drawing and ask for one action, like opening a door or waving. Use the clip to test a storyboard moment.
Scenery & storytelling
Bring a Landscape to Life
Upload a landscape and ask for moving light, wildlife, or someone walking through the frame. Use the clip to test the mood of a story or ad.
How it works
From Image to Video in One Generator
Upload an image, describe what moves, and pick a model. If you do not have an image, you can use a text prompt in the same generator.
Upload an Image or Start with Text
Add a photo, drawing, or product shot. No image ready? Write a prompt and make a video from text instead.
Describe What Should Move
Ask for a head turn, moving fabric, or a slow camera push. AI Optimize can help if you are unsure how to write the prompt.
Pick a Video Model
Choose Seedance, Kling, Google Veo, or MiniMax. The generator shows the image and video settings each model supports.
Set the Length and Format
Choose a duration, aspect ratio, and resolution. Sound and reference controls appear when the selected model supports them.
Check the Credit Cost
See the estimated cost next to Generate before you submit. Change a model or setting and the estimate updates.
Refine Your Result
Watch your video, then change the prompt or model if you want to try a different result.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions About Image to Video AI
What is image to video AI?
It turns a still image into a video. Upload your image, describe what you want to move, and the model makes a short clip from it.
How do I turn an image into a video with GatsbyAI?
Upload a JPEG, PNG, or WebP image, describe the movement, and choose a model that accepts images. Check the settings and credit cost, then click Generate.
Do I have to upload an image?
No. The same GatsbyAI generator also creates videos directly from text when you do not add a reference image.
Can I use image to video AI for free?
If you're eligible, you can make up to 2 free videos a day with the default Seedance 2.0 Mini, 4s, 480P settings when capacity allows. Sign in to claim 10 daily credits. Other models and settings may use more credits.
Which models accept image input?
You can upload images with models from Seedance, Kling, Google Veo, and MiniMax. Open the model picker to see which versions and settings are currently available.
What image formats can I upload?
JPEG, PNG, and WebP. The uploader checks file size and image dimensions before you generate.
Can I animate a photo or illustration?
Yes. Upload a photo or drawing and describe the movement you want. Start with one simple action, then adjust your prompt after seeing the result. Results vary by image and model.
Will the video preserve my image exactly?
Exact preservation is not guaranteed. Faces, text, logos, and small details may change, so review each output before using it.
How should I write an image to video prompt?
Describe one clear action and, if it matters, a camera move. Put the most important detail first. You can use AI Optimize to expand a short idea before you generate.
What are some image to video prompt examples?
For a portrait: “The person turns toward the camera and smiles as the camera moves closer.” For a product: “The camera circles the bottle while soft light moves across it.” Start with one action, then add details if needed.
Can I control the video duration and aspect ratio?
It depends on the model. The generator shows the durations, aspect ratios, resolutions, reference modes, and sound options you can use.
How many credits does image to video generation cost?
The model and settings determine the cost. You will see the estimate next to Generate before you submit.
How long does generation take?
Generation time depends on the model and current queue. You can follow the task status while it runs.
What happens if generation fails?
If a task is marked as failed, the credits reserved for it are returned.
