How to Outpaint and Animate with AI

  1. 1

    Upload your image

    Start by uploading the static image you want to animate or extend. The tool works with a wide variety of image formats.

  2. 2

    Describe the animation or extension

    In the text prompt box, describe how you want the AI to animate or outpaint your image. Be specific for the best results, for instance, 'extend the sky upwards and add moving clouds'.

  3. 3

    Generate your video

    Click the generate button and let the AI process your request. It will create a new video based on your image and text prompt.

  4. 4

    Download your video

    Your new animated or extended video is ready to be downloaded. Save the high-resolution MP4 file to your device and share it anywhere.

Break free from the constraints of the original camera frame. With AI video outpainting, you can extend your video's background, change its aspect ratio, or add entirely new elements to the scene. Describe a wider landscape, a taller sky, or even new characters just off-screen, and watch as the AI seamlessly generates new footage that matches the style, lighting, and motion of your original clip. This tool is perfect for correcting framing issues or transforming a vertical video into a cinematic widescreen experience.

Expand Your Visual Storytelling

Just write what you want to happen, and the AI will generate a captivating video from your image. This is a great way to repurpose photos for social media, create engaging visuals for presentations, or explore new creative ideas.
