With AI-generated video technology rapidly evolving, itโs now possible to turn a single image into a cinematic video clip in seconds, with no editing skills. Whether youโre a content creator, marketer, or just experimenting, Photo AI makes the process fast, easy, and insanely fun.
In this guide, weโll walk you through how to go from a static photo to a vivid, moving scene using Photo AIโs Image to Video feature.
Turning your photo into a short video takes less than a minute. Hereโs how:
Inside Photo AI, first take some photos of the scene you like. Either write your own prompt or use one of our 100s of photo packs.

Once you see a photo youโd like to turn into a video, hover over it and tap [ Make video ].
Youโll see a popup that lets you write a prompt which controls what happens in the scene, the motion of the camera and style:
โcamera slowly zooms out and shows model standing in room while wind blows from outsideโ
Where โmodelโ references your AI model you created.

It will then take a minute or so and your video is done!
With Photo AI you can also upload your own images (like real photos you made) and turn them into a video in a similar way.
First go to [ Import into gallery ] and select your image.

Then once it shows up in the gallery, hover over the image and tap [ Make video ].

Just like before, youโll see a popup that lets you write a prompt which controls what happens in the scene, the motion of the camera and style:
โThe camera slowly zooms out to reveal the model in a futuristic city glowing at nightโ
It will then take a minute or so and your video is done!
Photo AI gives you access to the latest in cutting-edge video models and the moment a new video model is launched we usually have it available in our app within hours:
