Image to Video AI
Upload one photo, describe the motion you want, and get a short video back. The Image to Video tool runs your picture through your choice of Kling, MiniMax or Hailuo models, at 5 or 10 seconds per clip, and you only pay for what you generate.
| What you provide | One JPG, PNG or WEBP photo (up to 5MB) and a short prompt |
| What you get | A 5 or 10-second video clip |
| Cost | From 1 credit for 5 seconds |
| Plan needed | Any plan or pay-per-use credits. Kling 3.0 Pro needs Pro or Studio |

How It Works
Tips for Better Clips
- Ask for one movement at a time. A slow camera push or a gentle head turn beats a long list.
- Start from a good photo. Blur and compression carry straight into the video.
- Say what should stay still, such as the background or the product.
- Do not expect readable text to survive motion. Add titles in your video editor afterwards.
Rules to Know
Use only photos you have the right to use. Photos of real people need their consent, and some models may refuse an image that looks like a real person’s face. If that happens your credits are refunded and it is not counted as a strike. See our content policy explainer.
Pricing in One Line
Credits cost about $0.52 each on Starter, $0.49 on Pro and $0.39 on Studio, and $0.46 to $0.60 when bought pay-per-use. New customers get 20% off their first card payment. One-time credits never expire, and unused subscription credits carry over. Full list: credit costs.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does image to video AI work?
You upload a photo and a prompt. The model predicts a short sequence of frames that continues naturally from your image, so the picture appears to move.
How much does it cost to turn a photo into a video?
From 1 credit for a 5-second clip on Kling v2.1 or Hailuo Live. Kling 2.5 Turbo Pro, MiniMax H3 Max and Kling 3.0 Pro are 2 credits for 5 seconds and 4 credits for 10 seconds.
How long can the clips be?
Five or ten seconds in this tool. For 15 or 30-second clips, see Seedance 2.5 and Wan 3.0 in the Next-Gen tab.
What size and format should my photo be?
JPG, PNG or WEBP up to 5MB, at least 300×300 pixels. 720p or larger gives better results.
Can I use the videos commercially?
Yes. Our terms allow commercial use including advertising, subject to the model providers’ terms and our content policy.
