What is AI Image Animator?
AI Image Animator is a browser-based image-to-video tool that turns a single still image into a short motion clip. Upload a picture, pick an image-to-video model, choose aspect ratio and duration, optionally add a prompt for motion/style, and download an MP4 in seconds to a couple of minutes.

Built for teams and creators that rely on static visuals and just want them to move—without heavy video software: • Marketing & growth: turn campaign key visuals and thumbnails into vertical shorts for ads, social posts, and CRM. • Ecommerce & product: animate product shots for PDPs, landing pages, and launch campaigns without reshoots. • Creators & agencies: repurpose posters, cover art, illustrations, and fan art into scroll-stopping clips. • Education & explainers: add subtle motion to diagrams and slides so complex ideas are easier to remember.
Under the hood, AI Image Animator connects to modern image-to-video models via a unified gateway. These depth-aware motion models read the scene, estimate depth and movement, and generate new frames so the camera feels like it moves through the image instead of sliding a flat layer.
Key capabilities: • Prompt-controlled motion: describe the camera move and style in plain language (e.g., “subtle push-in, cinematic look”). • Flexible aspect ratios: square, vertical, and landscape outputs for feeds, stories, shorts, and hero banners. • Motion and quality presets: set motion strength, clip length, and export resolution (fast 720p previews; crisp 1080p finals). • Credit-based usage control: see expected credits before you generate, keeping AI image-to-video budgets predictable.
How to animate a still image
A three-step workflow tested with marketing and creative operations teams.
Upload your still and set the frame
Drag & drop a photo or paste an image URL. Supports JPG, PNG, WEBP up to 20 MB per file. Choose the aspect ratio that matches your channel (9:16, 16:9, or 1:1) and adjust the crop instantly.
Pick a model, prompt, and quality
Select an image-to-video model, then either keep the default presets or add your own prompt (e.g., “subtle push-in, soft depth of field, cinematic lighting”) and fine-tune: - Aspect ratio - Duration - Motion strength - Export resolution (fast 720p previews; crisp 1080p finals).
Render, review, and share
Hit Generate to queue the job. Most clips render in seconds to a couple of minutes. Preview the loop, then download as MP4 or share it instantly to social media, friends, or teammates.
