Product shotsA slow zoom in or orbit makes a still packshot feel like a filmed ad.
Travel & landscapesPan or rise across a view — the foreground slides past the background like a drone shot.
IllustrationsBring a free illustration to life for a social post or the intro of an explainer video — or use a ready-made animated illustration.

Frequently asked questions

Is this image to video maker free?

Yes. It is completely free with no watermark and no limit on how many videos you make — no free trial that runs out and no credits.

Can I use image to video without sign up or login?

Yes. There is no account, no email and no login. Open the page, drop an image and download your MP4. Everything runs in your browser, so there is nothing to sign up for.

Is this an AI image to video generator?

Yes — an AI depth model (Depth Anything V2) runs in your browser to understand what is near and far in your image, and the animation is built from that. It does not use a text prompt: you pick a camera move, effect and title instead, so the result is predictable and never distorts your photo.

Can I add a water ripple effect to a photo?

Yes. Choose the Ripples effect: rings spread across your photo and bend it like water, with light glinting on the waves. Strength sets how often drops fall, and you can tap the preview to drop ripples where you want them — they appear in the video at that moment.

What is the liquid lens effect?

Soft liquid blobs drift over your photo, merge and split, and the picture shows only inside them — sharp in the middle, soft at the edge — while the camera moves. Outside the liquid can be frosted glass, dark or light; Strength sets how big the liquid is. Pick Reveal for a transition: scattered drops grow and merge until the photo fills the frame.

Is my image uploaded?

No. The depth model downloads once and runs in your browser, and the video is encoded on your device. Your image never leaves your computer.

How does it animate a still photo?

An AI depth model works out which parts of the picture are near and which are far. A virtual camera then zooms, pans or orbits through the image, so near objects move more than the background — the 2.5D parallax effect used in documentaries and Ken Burns slideshows.

What effects can I add?

Camera moves: zoom in or out, pan, orbit, rise, dolly zoom (the “Vertigo” effect) and a 3D wiggle. Effects on top: focus pull (the blur moves from the background to your subject like a real lens), a living sky where the clouds drift, falling snow, rain, autumn leaves, dust (air particles, dust storm, gold dust, pollen or sunbeam motes), fog (depth fog, ground mist or light rays), twinkling sparkles or bokeh lights — plus an optional film look with warm light leaks and grain.

How do I add a dust overlay to a photo?

Choose Dust, then pick a style: Air particles for floating specks, Dust storm for wind-blown haze and streaks, Gold dust for glittering sparkles, Pollen for soft drifting balls, or Sunbeam for subtle motes caught in the light. Set the Amount and wind direction. Unlike a dust overlay video, the particles move in 3D with the camera and hide behind your subject.

Can I add fog or mist to a photo?

Yes. Choose Fog, then Depth fog (the background fades into mist while your subject stays clear), Ground mist (low wisps rolling along the ground) or Light rays (sun rays streaming from the brightest part of the photo through a soft haze). Set the Density and pick white, cool blue, golden or eerie green fog.

How is this different from a dust or fog overlay video?

Overlay videos are flat clips laid on top of your picture. Here the AI depth map places dust and fog in 3D: fog thickens with distance, particles disappear behind your subject and drift with the camera move — and nothing extra to download, all free in your browser.

How does the title behind the subject work?

Type a headline and the depth map decides, pixel by pixel, what is in front of it — so a mountain, a person or a product stands in front of your text while the sky stays behind. It can rise up from behind the subject, fade or zoom in. If too much covers the title, move the “Behind” slider left.

Can it make people or objects move?

No. It moves the camera, not the subject — nobody blinks or walks. That keeps it fast, private and artefact-free. It works best for landscapes, product shots, illustrations, buildings and portraits with a clear background.

How long can the video be?

5 or 10 seconds at 30 frames per second, in 1080p or a faster 720p, as landscape (16:9), vertical (9:16 for Reels, Shorts and TikTok), square (1:1) or your image’s own shape.

Can I change the crop when I switch to 16:9 or 9:16?

Yes. When the format crops your photo — for example a vertical photo in a 16:9 video — just drag the picture in the preview to choose what stays in frame, like positioning a Facebook cover photo. It starts on your subject automatically, you can zoom in up to 200%, and Reset puts it back. Each format remembers its own position.

Can I fit the whole photo without cropping?

Yes. Choose Fit whole image under Framing: the full photo sits in the middle and a soft, blurred copy of it fills the sides — the look YouTube and TikTok use for vertical videos. Nothing is cut off, and the 3D motion still works.

Can I turn an image into a GIF?

Yes. Click GIF instead of Download MP4 to get a looping animated GIF (480 px, 15 fps) — small enough for WhatsApp, Discord, Slack, Notion, email and websites. Every camera move, effect and title works in the GIF too, and it loops smoothly with no jump.

Should I download MP4 or GIF?

Choose MP4 for Instagram, TikTok, YouTube Shorts and anywhere quality matters — it is sharper and much smaller. Choose GIF for chats, emails, presentations and places that play GIFs automatically but not video.

How do I make a video for Instagram Reels, TikTok or YouTube Shorts?

Pick the 9:16 format, choose a camera move such as Zoom in or Rise, and download the MP4. It is a ready-to-post vertical video with no watermark — upload it straight to Reels, Stories, TikTok or Shorts and add music in the app.

Can I turn a product photo into a video ad?

Yes. Tap the Product ad quick style for a slow push-in with a focus pull, add a short headline behind the product if you like, and download the MP4. It works best with a clear product in front of a simple background.

What are quick styles?

One-tap starting points — Product ad, Portrait, Landscape, Illustration, Poster and Dreamy. Each one sets the camera move, effect, strength and length for that kind of picture, and you can still change anything afterwards.

Does it work on iPhone and Android?

Yes. It runs in the phone’s browser with no app to install. Phones default to 720p so the video is ready faster, keep the screen on while it renders, and offer a Save to Photos button after the download.

Can I animate an illustration or a drawing?

Yes. Illustrations, posters and digital art work well — the Illustration quick style adds a gentle 3D wiggle. Art with a clear foreground and background gives the strongest 3D effect.

Which browsers work?

Chrome, Edge, Samsung Internet and other Chromium browsers export MP4 in a second or two. Where fast encoding isn’t available, the video is recorded in real time instead. The first run downloads a 27 MB depth model, which is then saved in your browser so the next visit starts instantly.
