HOW IT WORKS

How Image to Video works

From a still photo to a finished clip in three steps.

01

Upload a photo

Drop in any portrait, pet, landscape or product shot — JPG, PNG or WebP up to 10 MB. Your clip keeps the same aspect ratio as the image.

02

Describe the motion

Say what should move: a soft smile, hair in the wind, a slow camera push-in. Or tap a preset and skip the typing.

03

Download your clip

In about a minute you get a 5–10 second MP4. Download it watermark-free, ready for Reels, Shorts, TikTok or a message to family.

What people animate

One still photo is all it takes. These are the things people turn into video most often.

Old family photos

Bring a still portrait of a loved one to gentle, respectful life.

Portraits that move

Add a smile, a blink, or hair drifting in the wind to any headshot.

Products in motion

Subtle rotation and light for ecommerce listings and ad creative.

Social-ready clips

Turn one image into a scroll-stopping Reel, Short or TikTok in seconds.

FAQ

Image to Video — questions, answered

How long does it take to turn a photo into a video?

Most 5-second clips are ready in about 30–60 seconds; a 10-second clip takes a little longer. You'll see live progress while it generates.

What image formats and sizes can I upload?

JPG, PNG and WebP up to 10 MB. The finished video keeps your image's aspect ratio, so a vertical portrait stays vertical and a widescreen shot stays widescreen.

How long are the videos?

You can choose a 5-second or 10-second clip. Both are delivered as a standard MP4 you can download and re-upload anywhere.

Can I add sound?

Yes. Ambient sound that matches the scene can be generated with the clip, or you can keep it silent and add your own audio later.

Is there a watermark on the video?

No. Your clips come out clean, with no ImageMakerLab watermark, on every plan.

What kind of photo works best?

A clear subject, good lighting and a single focal point. Sharp portraits, pets and product shots animate beautifully; very blurry or busy images give the model less to work with.

Can I use the videos commercially?

Yes. Your generations are yours by default — use them in ads, listings, social posts or client work. They stay private unless you choose to share one to the public gallery.
