Image-to-video keeps your product, character or scene exactly as it looks in the photo and adds the motion: a camera push-in, a turn, steam rising, people walking past.
Each clip below shows the start image it was made from. The start frame is the image you attach; the model animates from there.
Made with Typeshoot
The runner pushes off and sprints down the alley toward the far end; the camera stays low and tracks the shoe as it splashes through the neon puddles, water spraying in slow motion, then holds as the runner disappears into the steam. Sound: deep bass hit on the first step, splashes, a rising synth swell.

A hand picks up the bamboo whisk and whisks the matcha in quick strokes until a fine froth forms, sunlight slowly moving across the table, steam rising from the bowl; the camera stays still. Sound: whisk brushing against the ceramic, birdsong outside the window.

Handheld selfie video: she shakes the bottle once, then talks to the camera with real enthusiasm, saying: "Okay, this thing blends frozen berries in twenty seconds and fits in my gym bag. Obsessed." Natural kitchen sound, slight handheld shake, authentic social ad.

Slow cinematic push-in toward the perfume bottle as lunar dust drifts across the dunes and light from the Earth glints across its facets, quiet ambient hum.

Frequently asked questions
Is image to video AI free?
New Typeshoot accounts get 100 free credits after confirming their email, enough for three 5-second drafts at 360p (30 credits each). After that you pay per clip; there is no subscription.
Is it unlimited?
No. Every clip costs credits, priced per second by model and resolution, and your assistant shows the price before it runs. Drafting at 360p keeps tests cheap.
Can I animate an old photo or a portrait?
Yes. Attach the photo and describe the movement, like a slow push-in, a smile or hair moving in the wind. Only animate people who agreed to it.
Which model is best for photo to video?
Gemini Omni Flash is the default all-rounder; MiniMax H3 Max Fast is the cheapest; Kling 4.0 Omni and Seedance 2.5 are the premium options. See our six-model benchmark for the same photo on each.
