Image to video: turn your photos into a moving clip
Start from the pictures you already have. Image to video turns a product photo, a property, a dish or a set of shots into a video: the first picture opens it, the last one closes it, and up to 8 pictures in between act as keyframes.
- keyframes between first and last
- 8
- pictures in one video, at most
- 10
- longest clip, on the longest models
- 30 s
Image to video, step by step
Attach your pictures
Open a video chat and attach the photos in the order they should appear. A single photo works too: it becomes the opening frame.
Describe the motion
Say what should happen between the pictures - a slow push in, the product turning, the camera moving through the room - and choose the length and the model.
Make and download
Check the credits, run it and download the clip. Add your brand to get an opening frame and an end card with your real logo.
First frame, last frame, and everything between
With image-to-video you decide where the clip starts and where it ends. The first picture you attach becomes the opening, the last becomes the closing shot, and up to 8 pictures in between are keyframes the video passes through. The AI fills in the motion that connects them, guided by what you describe in the prompt.
Made for what you already photograph
Image-to-video works best when the pictures share a subject and a look, so the motion between them makes sense. A few ideas to start from:
- A product photo turned into a short reveal
- Rooms of a property linked into a walkthrough
- Before and after pictures joined by a transition
- A dish followed from the kitchen to the table
Keyframes or references?
If you want your pictures to guide a new video rather than fix its opening and closing frames, choose New video from references instead. It treats what you attach as references for a new clip.
Branded from first frame to last
Add your brand's @username and a video made from pictures gets a generated opening frame and an end card with your real logo in the centre. A branded video uses 150 credits per started 5 seconds.

Can AI turn a single photo into a video?
Yes. Attach one photo and describe the motion; it becomes the opening frame of the clip.
How many photos can one video use?
A first picture to open it, a last picture to close it, and up to 8 keyframes in between - 10 in all.
Can the video be vertical?
Yes, on models that offer 9:16. You can also keep the same shape as your attachment, so a portrait photo makes a portrait video.

- Video Can AI turn photos into a video? Yes. Image-to-video AI animates a still picture or moves between several, inventing the motion in between. In Melon Cut Design, attach your pictures: the first opens the video, the last closes it, and up to 8 more act as keyframes in between. Add your brand and the video gets a generated opening frame and an end card with your real logo.
- Video How do I make a video with AI? Describe the video in a prompt, or give the AI pictures to animate, and it generates a short clip. In Melon Cut Design you can make a video from text, from your pictures - the first opens it, the last closes it - from reference pictures, or by changing a video you already have. Pick a model, or let Auto pick one and explain why.
