Use cases

Bring a portrait to life

Animate a still portrait so the eyes, hair, and light shift subtly while the face stays recognizable. The motion is anchored to your image, so the subject reads as the same person, just moving. A living portrait holds attention where a flat headshot would scroll past.

Animate logos and posters

Turn a static logo, key art, or poster into a few seconds of motion for a title card or an ad. Describe a reveal, a shimmer, or a slow push, and the model animates the artwork while keeping the type and layout intact. A moving mark stands out in a feed.

Product reveals from one shot

Start from a single product photo and add a rotate, a push-in, or a light sweep. The item stays on model while the motion draws the eye to it, so you get a scroll-stopping reveal without a turntable rig or a studio booking.

Cinemagraphs and living scenes

Animate one element of a scene, drifting clouds, rippling water, a flickering sign, while the rest holds still. The result is a cinemagraph that feels alive without being busy. Ideal for hero banners, backgrounds, and ambient loops.

FAQs

How do you turn an image into an animation?
You upload a still and describe the motion you want, then image to video animates it into a moving shot. The model reads the subject, depth, and light already in the frame and adds movement on top, so the animation grows out of your picture rather than replacing it.
What kind of motion can I add to a still?
Camera moves like a slow push-in or a pan, subject motion like hair and fabric catching a breeze, and ambient life like drifting clouds, rippling water, or flickering light. Describe the beat you want and the model animates it while holding the rest of the frame steady.
Will my subject stay recognizable once it moves?
Yes, that is the goal. The animation is anchored to the still you supply, so the face, product, or scene stays on model as it moves. On tricky frames you can add reference sheets or rerun until the identity and layout hold across the clip.
Do I need multiple images to animate one?
No. A single still is enough to generate a moving shot. If you want tighter control over the start and end of the motion, frames to video lets you set keyframes and interpolate between them, but one image will get you a clip.
How long is an animated clip?
Each generation runs a few seconds, which suits a loop, a reveal, or a short social beat. For something longer, animate several stills as separate shots and assemble the sequence on Compose.
What can I use animated stills for?
Living portraits, animated logos and posters, product reveals, cinemagraphs, and motion for social posts. Anywhere a still would sit flat, a few seconds of motion makes it hold attention.
