Frequently Asked Questions

: Imagine flipping through a flipbook, where each page features a slightly different image that, when viewed in sequence, creates the illusion of motion. Our AI Image to Video feature, which is part of the Video Generator tool, functions similarly but with much more sophistication—and without the need for any drawing or painting skills!
Powered by a top-of-the-line model, it leverages advanced AI techniques to transform static images into short video clips. The picture that you upload serves as the first frame of your clip (in the case of Runway Gen-3 Turbo and Kling 1.6 Pro models, you can also select the last frame). Then, the tool generates multiple frames from the original image, each slightly different from the last—much like the pages of a flipbook.
However, unlike a traditional flipbook that simply presents static images in rapid succession, this feature intelligently creates these frames based on contextual understanding and learned patterns from its training data. This dynamic generation allows for coherent narratives and smooth transitions between frames. These frames are then played in rapid succession to form a coherent and fluid video, resulting in an engaging visual experience that far surpasses the capabilities of a basic flipbook.
: Our AI Image to Video feature is incredibly versatile, making it suitable for a wide range of image types. All of the models it offers work seamlessly with photos and photorealistic images and are also great for animating digital art in various styles. For the Hailuo model specifically, besides the multi-purpose Standard mode, you can choose Live, a dedicated mode for animating sketches and drawings, or Subject, which allows you to generate a video of your chosen character (or yourself, for example!).
Whether dealing with realistic landscapes, intricate digital illustrations, or simple sketches, you can use our platform to turn them into short, engaging videos quickly. This feature excels at animating images that contain dynamic elements. Think of anything that can move: cars racing down a street, fog rolling over a hill, planes soaring through the sky, or people walking in a bustling city. AI Image to Video conversion can bring them to life with fluid motion, creating visually stunning videos from static images.
This makes it perfect for artists, photographers, and content creators looking to add a new dimension to their visual projects. You can use an image created in our AI Generator (or any of our other tools) or upload any photo or graphic from your device.
