Image to video example: an aurora photo brought to life
One still photo of the northern lights over snowy mountains and a mirror-calm lake, turned into a 10 second clip with Image to Video. The aurora and the sky move while the scene stays photoreal. It is real motion inside the frame, not a pan or zoom over a still.

How to make an image to video clip like this
- Step 1
Upload one image
Any photo, illustration, product shot or album cover: JPEG, PNG or WebP, at least 300 by 300 pixels and up to 10 MB. Upload the sharpest copy you have, not a thumbnail.
- Step 2
Describe the motion, if you want to
The motion box is optional. Leave it blank and the motion is inferred from the photo, or write one line such as "waves crashing, slow push-in".
- Step 3
Add a spoken line, if you want one
Type it and pick a voice. If the image shows a face, the person says it with lip sync; if not, it plays as a voiceover. Leave it blank for a silent clip like this one.
- Step 4
Pick 5 or 10 seconds and generate
Choose 9:16, 16:9 or 1:1 first, one ratio per render. A watermark-free 1080p MP4 lands in your library.
