Animate Image AI
Upload one still image, pick a motion, and get a 5-second video. A free draft usually finishes in under a minute. No account.
What animate image AI does
Animate image AI means one job: a still picture goes in, and a short video of that same picture comes out. The still can be a photo, a poster, a render, or an illustration. This page does not write a video from a text prompt, and it does not turn the person into a different character.
The clip on this page is a fast draft, five seconds, enough to see whether the motion is the one you wanted. Photo, old photos, animation, and posters each have their own page so this one stays on “animate image ai”.
How it works
Step 1
Upload the still
JPG, PNG, or WebP, up to 6MB. The browser shrinks the long edge to 1280 pixels before the file is sent.
Step 2
Pick a motion
Breath, a slow push-in, fabric and hair, or a light shift. Add one sentence if the preset is not specific enough.
Step 3
Wait on this page
The button stays on the same screen and counts the seconds. A fast draft usually finishes in under a minute. You do not create an account.
Why this page
The form is first
You can upload before you read anything else. The motion choices sit on the same screen.
No account for a draft
Three fast drafts an hour from the same network. The page tells you that before you press the button.
A known wait
The clip is 5 seconds long. The page counts while the draft runs, so you are not left guessing whether it started.
The still stays the still
Your image is the first frame. The motion presets ask the model to keep the face, the objects, and the background.
One page, one query
Photo, old photos, photo to animation, and posters each have their own page. This page stays on animate image.
A real file
The result is a video you can open and save. It is a draft, not a slideshow of the original still.
A page for each still
Animate Photo AI
A photograph in, a short video of that photograph out.
Animate Old Photos
A slight breath on a family picture. The face stays the face.
Photo to Animation
Motion from a still photo. The picture is not redrawn as a cartoon.
Animate a Poster
Light and a locked camera, so the lettering does not get rewritten.
Who it is for
A product photo
A pack shot that should move a little for a listing or a story, without a reshoot.
A portrait
A head-and-shoulders picture that needs a breath or a slow push, not a new face.
A poster or a render
Key art and still renders. Use the poster page when the lettering has to stay put.
Someone who already has the picture
You are not writing a film. You already have the frame.
Questions
How long does one clip take?
The video itself is 5 seconds. A free draft usually finishes in under a minute. The page counts the seconds after you press Generate.
How many free clips can I make?
Three fast drafts an hour from the same network. There is no account. Paid clips, after checkout, are kept in this browser. Prices are on the pricing page.
Do I need an account?
No. Upload, generate, and open the video without signing in.
Which files can I upload?
JPG, PNG, or WebP, up to 6MB. The browser converts the picture to a JPEG with the long edge at 1280 pixels before upload.
How long is the video?
Five seconds.
Can I describe the motion myself?
Yes. Pick the closest preset, then add one sentence. The preset still tells the model to keep the same face, objects, and background.
What is animate image AI?
It is a still image turned into a short video of that same image. On this site that means an upload, a motion preset, and a clip a few seconds long.
Do you keep my photo?
There is no account library. The picture is sent to the model provider to make the clip, then the page holds the video URL it returns. Do not upload a picture you cannot send to that provider.
Can I use the clip commercially?
You need the rights to the image you upload. A clip you make from a picture you have the rights to is yours to post, including in ads. You are responsible for the people and trademarks in the frame.
What is the difference between a free draft and a paid clip?
The free draft is three 5-second clips an hour from one network. A paid pack adds clips in this browser, listed on the pricing page.
