Image to video AI

Image to video with AI: animate a photo or your cover

Upload a photo — the cover, a press photo, a frame from your video — and describe what moves. Seedance, Kling and Wan turn it into a video of a few seconds, ready for the music video, the Canvas or the posts.

30 free credits when you create your account. The cost depends on the model, the length and the resolution, and you see it before you generate.

Which model to animate a photo with

ModelDurationLast frameTop resolution
Seedance 2.04–15 sYes4K
Seedance 2.54–30 sYes1080p
Kling 3.0 Pro / Standard / 4K3–15 sYes4K (4K version)
Wan 3.02–30 sYes1080p
PixVerse V61–15 sYes1080p
LTX-2.56–10 sYes4K (Fast)

“Last frame” means you can also give the image where the shot ends, and the model fills in the motion between the two.

Ideas for musicians

  • The cover comes alive: smoke, rain, a slow camera move, the character turning around. A loop for the release posts.
  • A press photo that moves for the show announcement.
  • Two photos, one transition: first frame on stage, last frame in the studio.
  • A frame from your footage that continues into a shot you didn’t film.

How to write the prompt

The image already says what is in the scene, so the prompt should say what moves and how the camera moves: “her hair moves in the wind, slow push in”, “the city lights flicker, static camera”. Keep it to one action. If you want the person in the photo to dance or do a specific move, use Kling Motion Control with a reference video instead.

Questions

How do I animate a photo with AI?

Upload the photo, choose a model such as Seedance 2.0 or Kling 3.0, describe what moves and how the camera moves, choose the length and generate.

Can I animate my album cover?

Yes. Use the cover as the image and describe a subtle movement; for a loop, give the same image as the last frame.
