HOW TO
How to use Animate Photo AI in 3 steps
Upload a photo, describe the motion, choose duration and quality, then watch the generated result on the right.
- 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.
- Step 2
Describe how you want it to move
Write the motion, emotion, or camera feel you want, such as a gentle smile, a slow lean forward, or a subtle old-photo revival.
- 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.
- 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.
| Item | Details |
|---|---|
| Best input photos | Clear single images with stable lighting and a strong subject work best, especially portraits, old photos, product shots, and simple scenery. |
| Best use cases right now | Short social clips, playful motion photos, lightweight talking-photo tests, gentle old-photo revival, and quick motion drafts for creative work. |
| Talking-photo input | This 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 options | The homepage keeps choices focused with 3s / 5s / 10s and 480p / 720p / 1080p options, while the full tool provides more motion settings. |
| Where results appear | The homepage workspace uses a left-input, right-preview layout so you can judge the direction quickly before moving into the full tool. |
| Privacy and rights | Only upload images you have permission to use, and avoid sensitive or private content. Be extra careful with children, portraits, and historical family photos. |
