Every creator has a folder of stills that would be better as clips: the thumbnail that could open the video, the product shot that should spin, the selfie that could wink at the camera. Photo to Video takes any image — a phone upload or a still straight from your creations rail — and makes it the first frame of a short clip. The person, the product, the text and the framing stay what they are; the motion you describe is added on top. It is the fastest way to turn a graphic you already made into a Shorts hook, a Spotify canvas, an intro card or a looping story background.

The first frame decides the shape, so a 9:16 reel cover gives you a vertical clip and a 16:9 thumbnail gives you a wide one. Describe the motion in a sentence or leave the prompt empty for a natural push-in with subtle movement. Add a last frame when you want the clip to travel from one image to another — two poses, two outfits, a before and an after. Draft is the test tier, Standard adds sound and spoken lines, Pro is for the one clip that has to look flawless, and People is the tier for photos with a person in them, since Standard and Pro can't animate real faces. Length runs four to fifteen seconds and the price per second shows on the button.

Chain it. Make the thumbnail with your face, send it here from the toolbar under the canvas, and you have a motion version for the community post. Make a persona photo of your AI influencer, then animate it so they turn and talk. Keep the first frame in the slot and change only the prompt to get three variations of the same shot, each with its own poster frame in your rail. Standard and Pro renders that fail on the provider's side or get blocked are refunded; Draft is not, which keeps it cheap.

Questions

Will the person in my photo still look like them?

Yes. Pick the People tier for any photo with a person in it (Standard and Pro can't animate photos of real people); the photo is the literal first frame, so the face, clothes and background are exactly yours.

What does the last frame do?

It gives the clip a destination. The render starts on the first frame and ends on the last one, so two poses become a turn, two outfits become a change, a wide shot and a close-up become a push-in.

Can I animate a thumbnail with text on it?

You can; keep the prompt to camera movement and small motion so the text stays readable. Big movements can distort lettering.

Why can't I set a shape here?

The clip inherits the shape of the first frame. Reframe the still first if you need a different ratio — Reframe for Platform is in the toolbar under every result.

Can I try Photo to Video without paying?

Yes — every new account starts with 4 free credits, enough for a Standard run of most tools. Plans start at $15 for 1,000 credits a month and packs at $4.99 for 250.
