Animate a reference image by describing motion, camera behavior, and elements that must stay stable.

Image to video

Image-to-video uses an uploaded image as visual guidance for a moving shot. Select a model and add a motion-focused prompt. Duration, aspect ratio, resolution, camera, and motion-strength controls vary by model.

Prepare the reference

Use a clear image with the subject separated from the background. Start with the same aspect ratio you intend to generate. Avoid tiny text and severe compression artifacts.

Describe movement

Focus on what changes over time: subject action, camera movement, atmosphere, and the end state. Also state what must remain unchanged.

Steam rises gently; the camera makes a slow push-in. The cup shape, label, and table remain unchanged. End on a stable centered frame.

Strong motion or expression can distort identity, product geometry, and background text. Review the complete clip before use.
