Your frame stays the first frame
The uploaded frame becomes the first image of the clip, so the pose, wardrobe, and set you prepared stay where you put them.
STILL TO MOTION
Convert one authorized still into a moving clip: the image locks appearance and framing, the prompt directs motion, and the estimate comes first.
This is a static preview of the form. Open Image to Video to upload a file and see the models and settings currently published.
This preview never uploads, stores, or generates media.
Open Image to VideoThree properties decide whether a conversion reads as directed motion rather than a distorted photograph.
The uploaded frame becomes the first image of the clip, so the pose, wardrobe, and set you prepared stay where you put them.
Motion, pace, and camera behaviour are written separately from the image, which keeps appearance and movement from fighting each other.
Model, duration, and resolution live on the same form as the prompt, so the shape of the output is chosen before the Credits are spent.
From file upload to a saved result, every decision is visible before the request is sent.
Open Image to Video and upload the frame you want to animate. The upload is validated for type and size before it can become a first frame.
Write the movement, then choose a published model and the duration and resolution it supports. The form only offers combinations that model can run.
Check the Credit estimate, submit, then replay or download the result from your own history. The same setup can be reopened and adjusted.
Three conversions that hold up because the source frame and the requested motion agree.
A portrait with a clean silhouette and an even background can take a slow push without the subject drifting out of frame.
A still of a room or set can carry a lateral move, because nothing in the frame needs to change pose to make the shot read.
A costume or fabric study benefits from a small, sustained motion instead of a large move that hides the detail you shot for.
A converter is a narrow tool. These are the edges of what it can do today.
A conversion adds motion; it cannot add detail the source frame never had. Blurred faces, clipped highlights, and heavy compression stay visible in the output.
The aspect ratio follows your source image. Requesting a different shape in the prompt produces cropping or stretching, not a redesigned composition.
Long clips and resolutions from 1080p upward need a monthly plan. Without a subscription, completed results stay available for seven days.
A generated clip is not automatically cleared for commercial use, and no particular outcome is promised for a given prompt.
Five practical answers about source files, motion prompts, and what a conversion cannot do.
A converter takes one source image as the first frame and generates new frames after it. Appearance, crop, and composition come from your file; everything that happens next comes from the motion prompt.
JPG, PNG, or WebP up to 5 MB. A sharp, evenly lit frame with a clear subject reads better than a heavily compressed one, because the model inherits both the detail and the noise.
The source decides the starting canvas, so pick a frame whose crop you already like. If you need a different shape, crop or regenerate the still first instead of asking the prompt to reframe it.
Describe one movement and the light. Stacking a camera move, a subject action, and an environmental effect into a single request is the most common reason a conversion looks unstable.
The estimate appears on the generate action and follows the model, duration, and resolution you selected. Long clips and resolutions from 1080p upward require a monthly plan.
Only material you created or are licensed to process, and only adults. A recognisable third party needs their informed consent for this specific use; otherwise the request is refused.
Bring a JPG, PNG, or WebP still up to 5 MB, then direct one motion and review the Credit estimate before you submit.
