Give a still photo a few seconds of motion
This image to video tool takes one picture and animates it into a 5 or 10 second clip, keeping the composition you already chose. Describe the motion you want, like wind in the trees or a slow push-in, and a product shot or portrait becomes something that moves in the feed.
How it works
- 1
Pick a source image
Upload one, paste a URL, or choose from your library, Unsplash or Pexels.
- 2
Describe the motion
Optional but recommended, up to 2,000 characters. Then choose 5 or 10 seconds.
- 3
Animate
It takes 1 to 3 minutes. The clip lands in your media library with a notification.
What you can make
Online sellers
A product photo with steam rising or fabric moving stops the scroll better than the same photo standing still.
Photographers
Post a moving teaser of a shoot. Your framing and colour stay yours, only motion is added.
Travel and lifestyle creators
A landscape or interior shot you took that drifts, ripples or glows for a few seconds.
Illustrators and AI artists
Take a finished image from another tool and give it drifting clouds or a camera move for Reels.

Tips for better results
- Describe motion, not the picture. The image already shows what is there, so spend the prompt on what moves and how the camera behaves.
- Crop before you animate. The clip keeps the shape of the source, so a 9:16 image gives you a vertical video ready for Reels and Shorts.
- Small, slow motion looks the most real. Hair in a breeze or a gentle push-in holds up better than a subject running across the frame.
- Start with 5 seconds. The base charge already covers it, and you only pay per extra second once you know the motion works.
- Not happy with a result? "Re-animate from this source" runs again from the original image, not the video, and keeps both as versions.
Frequently asked questions
Do I have to write a prompt?
No, it can animate from the image alone. A short motion prompt is still recommended because it is the only way to steer what moves.
Can I animate a photo of a person?
Only your own photo, or one everyone in it agreed to. You confirm that before each run, and it is kept with the job. Faces are kept as they are rather than changed, with guards against morphing and distorted hands.
Does the video have sound?
No, treat it as silent. Add music or a voiceover when you post it.
Is it free?
No. Each run spends AI credits from your Wujud account. A base charge covers the first 5 seconds and each second after that is billed on top. Credits are bought as a pack, and new accounts start with none. The tool needs a paid plan.
Can I use the clips commercially?
Yes, as long as you have the rights to the source image you animate.
