✨AI Video Tool

Image to Video AI —Turn Any Photo into a Video Ad

Upload one photo as the first frame, or two photos as the first and last frames. Pick a model such as Kling, Veo or Seedance, describe the motion and camera move, and AdsTurbo turns it into a video you can use in ads.

What Image to Video Does

Image to Video turns a still photo into a short video: the photo becomes the first frame, and the AI animates it from your motion prompt with the video model you choose.

  • What it does

    It animates a photo. The model starts from your image and generates movement, camera motion and, on supported models, sound, so a still product shot or portrait becomes a video clip.

  • What you upload

    One image as the start frame, or two images as the start and end frames. Upload from your device or pick from your asset library, then add a short prompt that describes the motion.

  • What you get

    A video in the length, quality and aspect ratio you choose. Depending on the model, that is up to 30 seconds, up to 4K and with or without native audio.

  • What it is not

    It does not edit an existing video, and an end frame on its own is not enough: every task needs a start frame.

How to Turn an Image into a Video with AI

Photo to video in three steps in the AdsTurbo workspace.

  1. Upload Your Image

    In the Studio video mode, switch to Start/End Frames and upload one photo as the start frame. To control where the video ends, add a second photo as the end frame. You can also pick images from your asset library.

  2. Choose a Model and Describe the Motion

    Pick one of the video models that support frames, such as Kling, Veo, Seedance, MiniMax or Wan. Choose the length, quality and aspect ratio, then describe what should move and how the camera should travel.

  3. Generate and Download

    Sign in and start the task. Video generation uses credits, which vary by model, length and quality. When the video is ready, review it and download it for your ads or social posts.

Each generation is a separate task. If the motion is not right, adjust the prompt or try another model and generate again.

What You Can Do with Image to Video

One photo or two frames in, a video out, with the model and settings you pick.

Animate a Photo from a Single Frame

Upload one image as the start frame and describe the motion. The model keeps your photo as the opening shot and brings it to life.

Set the First and Last Frames

Add a second image as the end frame and the model generates the transition between them, useful for before-and-after shots and reveals.

Getting Better Results from Image to Video

Start frame

Start from a photo that is ready to move

  • The start frame is the opening shot of your video, so the photo sets the look of the whole clip.
  • Use a sharp photo with one clear subject
  • Leave some space around the subject for movement and camera travel
  • Upload from your device or pick an image from your asset library

Motion prompt

Describe what moves and how the camera travels

  • The prompt tells the model what should happen after the first frame.
  • Name the movement of the subject, such as turning, pouring or smiling
  • Add one camera move, such as a slow push-in or a pan
  • If the motion is not right, adjust the prompt and generate again

End frame

Control where the video ends

  • Add an end frame and the model generates the movement between your two images.
  • Use two photos of the same scene for before-and-after shots and reveals
  • Keep the framing and lighting similar so the transition looks smooth
  • Wan 3.0 cannot add native audio when you set an end frame

Aspect ratio

Vertical, landscape and more for every placement

  • Pick the aspect ratio before you generate so the clip fits where it will run.
  • 9:16 for Reels, TikTok and Shorts
  • 16:9 for YouTube, websites and landing pages
  • Several models also offer 1:1 or follow the shape of your image

Frequently Asked Questions

Image to Video

01How do I turn an image into a video with AI?

Open the Studio video mode in the AdsTurbo workspace, switch to Start/End Frames and upload your image as the start frame. Pick a model, choose the length, quality and aspect ratio, describe the motion and camera move in the prompt, then generate. When the task finishes, review and download the video.

02Is the AdsTurbo image to video generator free?

New accounts can start on the Free plan. Video generation uses credits, and the cost depends on the model, length and quality. Paid plans include HD videos with no watermark and commercial usage rights. See Pricing for plans and credits.

03Which AI model is best for image to video?

It depends on the clip. For longer videos, Seedance 2.5, Kling 4.0 and Wan 3.0 go up to 30 seconds. For the highest resolution, Veo 3.1 offers 4K on short clips of up to 8 seconds. If you need sound, choose a model with native audio, such as Seedance, Kling 3.0, Veo 3.1 or MiniMax H3. Trying the same photo on two models is often the quickest way to decide.

04Can I set both the first frame and the last frame?

Yes. Upload one image as the start frame and another as the end frame, and the model generates the motion between them. All seven models support this. An end frame always needs a start frame, and Wan 3.0 cannot add audio when an end frame is set.

05How long can the video be, and what resolution?

It depends on the model: up to 30 seconds with Seedance 2.5, Kling 4.0 or Wan 3.0, up to 15 seconds with Seedance 2.0, Kling 3.0 or MiniMax H3, and 4, 6 or 8 seconds with Veo 3.1. Most models go up to 1080p; MiniMax H3 offers 2K and Veo 3.1 offers 4K.

06Can I control the camera movement?

Describe it in the prompt, for example a slow push-in, a pan to the left or an orbit around the product. The model follows the prompt as closely as it can, so review each result and adjust the wording if needed. Setting an end frame also fixes where the shot finishes.

07Can I use the videos in ads?

Paid plans include HD videos with no watermark and commercial usage rights. Only upload images you own or have permission to use, and check each video and the ad platform's rules before you publish. See the Terms of Service for details.

08How is Image to Video different from Product Video?

Image to Video animates any image you upload, using it as the first frame or as the first and last frames, with the model and motion you choose. To turn a product image into a UGC-style ad with an AI presenter and voiceover, use Product Video.
