Turning a still image into a short video can help your marketing, training, and communication content stand out. AI Studios’ Image to Video AI Animator lets you do this quickly and easily.

Follow the steps below to create your own animated video in just a few minutes.
Note: This tool requires Generative Credits to use. One minute of video footage will require one credit to be available in your account. Please review the page for more information on Generative Credits.
How to animate an image using Image to Video
Step 1: Access the AI Generators tab
Start by going to the AI Studios dashboard and selecting the AI Generators tab. This is where you will find all of the available AI-powered tools.
Step 2: Open the AI Video Generator
Once you’re in the AI Generators tab, look for the AI Video Generator tool. Click on this tool to enter its dedicated screen where you will be able to create animated videos.
Step 3: Navigate to the Image to Video feature
When the AI Video Generator interface loads, look to the left-hand menu. From there, select the AI Videos tab. Once you are inside the AI Videos section, make sure you choose the Image to Video option so that you can animate a still image.
Step 4: Upload your image
Next, upload the image that you want to bring to life. The interface will provide a prompt or an upload field where you can easily select the image file from your computer.
Use high-quality images with clear subjects for the best animation results. Avoid overly complex or crowded images, as these may produce less predictable animations.
Step 5: Provide a movement prompt
Once the image is uploaded successfully, use the text box to describe the movement or animation you want the image to perform. Be as clear as possible in your prompt so that the AI can create a video that matches your vision.
Step 6: Generate and download your video
Finally, click the Generate button. The AI will process your image and your prompt and produce a short animated video. Once it’s ready, review the result and then download your video file for use or sharing.
