Photo to video
Turn a Photo into a Video with AI
Make pictures into a video from a still you already have. Capture or upload the picture, then describe the motion with a spoken line or a written motion line. The steps are in How to turn a photo into a video.
The still is the subject
Photo to video starts from a picture you already trust. A pack shot, a lifestyle frame, a creator photo, or a phone capture all qualify. The clip adds motion. It should not replace the bottle, the face, the clothes, or the room. A tool that invents a new subject from an empty prompt is doing a different job. Here the upload is the brief.
What to photograph
Use the same file you would put on a product page or post as a still. One subject, with the label or the face fully in frame. Hold the phone steady if you are capturing in the Android app. Soft focus and a cropped label stay soft and cropped after generation. The pass can move the photo. It should not be asked to repair a picture you would not print.
One motion, in text or out loud
Name what moves, then name what must stay. A slow push-in, a small turn, light across a label, a nod. Say that the product, the face, and the colors stay as shown, and that no new objects appear. You can type that line or speak it. A paragraph of scenes is how the subject gets replaced. If the result is a different object, shorten the line and generate again from the same photo.
Image to video, without a crew
Pack shots, lifestyle shots, and creator photos become motion clips. You do not book a reshoot to see whether the photo can move. Generate with Ultra when the label, the face, or the fabric has to hold. Generate with Express when you are still deciding if the motion is the one you want. Standard is the other pass on the same screen, on the same photograph.
Then brand it
Apply a logo, captions, and a filter after the clip exists, so the export looks like your brand. Watch it once before you download. If the preview and the MP4 would disagree, you are exporting too early. The file you publish is the one you have actually watched.
A second beat is another clip
A greeting and a product reveal are two shots. Generate each from its own still, combine those clips in the gallery, or carry the end frame forward if that frame is already the one you want. Stuffing both beats into one sentence is how the photo gets replaced. Several photos become a sequence only after each still has a clip you trust.

FAQ
Questions about photo to video
How a still you already trust becomes a short clip, and what the motion is allowed to change.
How do I turn a photo into a video?
Upload a picture or capture one on Android. Name the motion, generate, watch the clip, then brand it before you download or publish. The full steps are in the photo-to-video guide.
How do I make pictures into a video?
Same path: one picture, one motion, one clip. How to make pictures into a video is that rule for each still, then join only the clips you trust.
What is image to video AI here?
Image to video AI means the upload is the subject. The clip adds motion. It should not invent a new bottle, face, or room. How to turn photos into a video is the same job: one photo, one line, then generate.
Which photo should I start with?
The file you would already put on a product page or post as a still. One subject, with the label or the face fully in frame. A lifestyle frame, a creator photo, or a phone capture all qualify.
Does the video replace what is in the photo?
It should not. The clip adds motion. The bottle, the face, the clothes, and the room stay as shown. If the result is a different object, shorten the line and generate again from the same photo.
Can I speak the motion instead of typing it?
Yes. Type one move or speak the motion. Either way, name what must stay: the product, the face, and the colors, with no new objects.
Which pass should I run on a photograph?
The pass that holds a label is Ultra. Express is for when you are still deciding if the motion is the one you want. Standard is the other pass on the same photograph.
When do I add the logo on a photo clip?
Brand it after the subject still matches the photo. Watch it once before you download. If the preview and the MP4 would disagree, you are exporting too early.
Can several photos become one video?
Yes, after each still has a clip you trust. Generate each one, then stitch the stills together. Stuffing every photo into one sentence is how a subject gets replaced.
Can one still feed Reels, TikTok, and an ad?
Yes. Export an Instagram-ready Reel, a TikTok from that photo, or a short product ad after the still still looks like itself.
