HOW TO

How to animate a photo in 3 steps

Upload a photo, describe the motion, choose duration and quality, then watch the generated result on the right.

  1. Step 1

    Upload a photo

    Choose a clear image with a strong subject. Portraits, old photos, product shots, and simple scenery usually work best when the input is clean.

  2. Step 2

    Describe how you want it to move

    Write one clear instruction so AI can animate photo motion — a gentle smile, a slow lean forward, or a subtle camera feel.

  3. Step 3

    Choose duration and quality, then preview on the right

    Start with a short result first, then decide whether you want to continue into the full tool for a longer or cleaner version.

Three tips for better results
  • Start with one clear photo instead of a busy or low-quality frame.
  • For talking photos, use a front-facing face image with as little occlusion as possible.
  • Test with a shorter preview first, then move into the full tool if the direction looks right.

SPECS

What this workflow is built for, and what it supports today

Start with a focused set of controls for clear, fast photo animation. Open the full tool when you need finer motion control.

ItemDetails
Best input photosClear single images with stable lighting and a strong subject work best, especially portraits, old photos, product shots, and simple scenery.
Best use cases right nowShort social clips, playful motion photos, lightweight talking-photo tests, gentle old-photo revival, and quick motion drafts for creative work.
Talking-photo inputThis workflow is strongest for quickly testing a talking-photo direction from a clear face image. Use the full tool for audio-driven and lip-control workflows.
Duration and quality optionsThe homepage keeps choices focused with 3s / 5s / 10s and 480p / 720p / 1080p options, while the full tool provides more motion settings.
Where results appearThe homepage workspace uses a left-input, right-preview layout so you can judge the direction quickly before moving into the full tool.
Privacy and rightsOnly upload images you have permission to use, and avoid sensitive or private content. Be extra careful with children, portraits, and historical family photos.
