    In the text box, describe the motion you want to see. For example, 'make the ocean waves crash' or 'make the stars twinkle.'

  3. 3

    Generate your animation

    Click the generate button and let our AI work its magic. In seconds, your static image will be transformed into a dynamic video.

  4. 4

    Download your animation

    Your high-resolution video is ready to download. Share it on your social media channels or use it in your creative projects.

Transform your still photos into dynamic videos in seconds. With our AI-powered tool, animating an image is as easy as describing the movement you envision. There is no need for complex software or keyframes. Just upload your picture, type a prompt like "make the waterfall flow and the leaves rustle," and our AI will generate a smooth, high-quality animation. This intuitive process makes it simple for anyone to add captivating motion to their visuals, bringing a new dimension to your favorite pictures.

Animate Images Instantly with Simple Text

Take full creative control over your animations. You decide which elements in your image come to life and how they move. Want to make the clouds drift lazily across the sky in a landscape photo? Or make the hair and clothing on a portrait sway gently in the breeze? Your text prompt guides the AI, allowing you to isolate and animate specific parts of the image while keeping everything else perfectly still. This gives you the power to tell a story and add focused, believable motion to any photo.

You Direct the Motion
