Image to video / Gen
Turn an image into a video.
Start with a photo or generated image. Direct the camera, describe what moves and create a video with the model that fits your idea.
Video generation requires a paid plan. Duration, resolution and model affect the credit cost.
THE WORKFLOW
From your first reference to a result.
Choose the first image
Open the video generator and upload a clear reference. Choose an image-to-video model; a text-only video model cannot animate an attached photo.
Describe the movement
Start with one clear action: a slow camera push, a turn of the subject or a breeze through the scene. Choose the supported duration, aspect ratio and resolution before generating.
Review the new clip
Play your result in the center of the workspace. A new generation becomes the current result, while earlier clips stay in the collapsible history so you can compare and download them.
A little direction goes a long way.
Frames and references
Some models support a first frame, a final frame or several references. Available controls change with the selected model; choose one that supports the inputs your shot needs.
Spend deliberately
Use a short draft to explore a direction before increasing duration or resolution. Model prices differ, and the generator shows a credit estimate. Every new generation uses credits; access to a model is not unlimited use.
Match motion to the image
Small camera moves can suit product photography, while an illustration may invite a more expressive scene. Clear motion instructions help, but generated clips can still change fine details and need review.

A few things to know.
Which models can animate an image?
Gen connects image-to-video options including H3 Max Turbo, Google Veo, Kling and Seedance when configured and available. The model picker and input controls show which reference features each option supports.
Can I choose the last frame?
Some video models support both first and last frames. Select a compatible model to see those controls. Other models accept only a starting image or use a different reference mode.
Can I make a video for free?
Video generation requires a paid plan and sufficient credits. The free allowance covers basic messages and images, not video. Opening a workflow does not generate or charge for a clip.
How many videos does a plan include?
There is no fixed video count. Credits are shared across your work, and each clip costs a different amount depending on its model, duration, resolution and options. Review the estimate in the generator before submitting.
