How much does image to video cost?

Videos cost from 45 credits, depending on the model, resolution and length you choose. Longer and higher-quality clips cost more.

Can I use free credits for videos?

No. Video can only be generated with purchased credits. Free sign-up and daily credits work on image tools, but not on video.

Which models can I use?

MiniMax H3 Max Turbo is the default, with 480p or 768p and 5 or 10 seconds. Google's Veo 3.1 Lite makes 720p clips of 4, 6 or 8 seconds with sound.

Does the video have sound?

Yes. Both MiniMax H3 and Veo 3.1 Lite generate an audio track along with the video.

What kind of photo works best?

A clear, well-lit photo with an obvious subject. Portraits, pets, products and landscapes all work. Very busy or tiny subjects are harder to animate convincingly.

What should I write in the prompt?

Describe the motion, not the photo. Say what the subject does and how the camera moves, for example 'the dog runs toward the camera, handheld shot'.

How long are my videos kept?

Accounts that have bought credits or a subscription keep results for 365 days. Uploaded photos are deleted after 7 days.

Why people use it

Two video models

MiniMax H3 Max Turbo is the default. Veo 3.1 Lite from Google makes 720p clips. Both generate sound.

Choose length and quality

With MiniMax H3: 480p or 768p, 5 or 10 seconds. With Veo 3.1 Lite: 720p, 4, 6 or 8 seconds.

Your photo, in motion

The video starts from your image, so the people, products and places look like your photo.

Prompt the movement

Describe actions, expressions and camera moves in plain English.

Clear pricing

Videos cost from 45 credits, depending on the model, length and quality. Paid with purchased credits.

What you can make with image to video AI

Image to video AI takes a single still picture and turns it into a short clip. Your photo is the starting point, and the model animates it based on your description. Use it to bring a portrait to life, make a product spin or catch the light, add movement to a travel photo, or turn an AI-generated image into a scene for social media.

You can choose between two models. MiniMax H3 Max Turbo is the default, with 480p or 768p output and 5- or 10-second clips. Google's Veo 3.1 Lite makes 720p clips of 4, 6 or 8 seconds with generated sound.

Writing a prompt that moves

Focus on motion. The model can already see the photo, so describe what changes: "turns her head and laughs", "steam rises from the cup".
Add a camera move. Phrases like "slow zoom in", "pan left" or "orbit around the product" make clips feel more cinematic.
Keep it to one or two actions. Short clips work best with a simple, clear idea.
Start from a good image. A sharp, well-lit photo gives a cleaner video. Use the Image Upscaler or Unblur Image first if your photo is small or soft.

Credits and pricing

Video generation uses purchased credits only. Free credits from signing up and daily bonuses can't be used for video. The price, from 45 credits, depends on the model, resolution and length, so a short 480p test is a cheap way to check your idea before making a longer or higher-quality version.

Limitations

AI video is still imperfect. Hands, fast motion, text and crowds can warp or flicker, and faces may drift slightly over longer clips. If a take doesn't work, simplify the prompt or try a shorter length. If you'd rather not write a prompt at all, try AI Video Effects or Animate Photo for one-click results.
