ImagesArt is an AI image to video generator that turns a still image into a short video of 1 to 30 seconds. Upload a photo, describe the motion you want, and get an AI-generated video from your image at up to 4K with native audio. You can animate one image, transition between two, or build a scene from up to nine reference images.

Upload one image and describe how it should come alive: a slow push-in, hair moving in the wind, steam rising off a cup. The AI keeps the look of your original photo and adds motion, camera movement and matching audio. This is the fastest way to turn a photo into a video.
Give a start frame and an end frame and describe the transformation. The model generates the in-between motion so image one turns into image two: a product changing colour, a character turning around, day turning into night. Useful for transitions and before-and-after clips.
Add up to nine reference images of people, objects or a place, then write the scene. The AI casts your references into a new video instead of animating a fixed frame, so the same character or product stays consistent from shot to shot.
Each model has its own strengths. Pick by what you need: speed, motion quality, or director-level control.

The smallest one-time credit pack unlocks 720p, and every larger pack unlocks 1080p and 4K too. On subscriptions, 720p needs Starter, and 1080p and 4K need Pro or Ultimate. The exact credit cost for your settings is always shown on the Create button before you generate.
Only need Grok? The Grok AI video generator runs the same Grok Imagine 1.5 model as this page, at the same price.
Turn one photo or product shot into a vertical clip for TikTok, Reels and Shorts. Run it at 480p to test the idea, then rerun the winner at 720p, 1080p or 4K.
Give a flat catalog photo motion: a slow orbit, liquid pouring, fabric moving. With reference mode the same product stays consistent across every shot in an ad.
Animate a portrait, a family photo or an old picture. Natural blinking, hair and background movement, and a camera move you describe in plain words.
Bring illustrations, concept art and AI-generated images to life. Generate the image here, edit it, then animate it with one account and one credit balance.
From a still image to a finished clip in three steps.
Drop a JPG, PNG or WebP up to 30 MB. Use one image to animate it, two for a start-to-end transition, or up to nine as references.
Write what should move, how the camera behaves and the mood. Choose a model such as Grok Imagine 1.5, Kling 3.0 or Seedance 2.0, then resolution and duration. The credit cost updates as you adjust.
Hit Create. Your video appears in the history panel when it is ready. Download it, or tweak the prompt and run it again.
“Slow push-in”, “orbit left”, “handheld follow”. A camera instruction gives the model a clear plan and keeps the subject stable.
Pick the thing that should move and say how: “steam rises from the cup”, “she turns and smiles”. Too many actions in five seconds reads as chaos.
“Golden hour, soft wind, distant traffic.” Models with native audio use this to generate matching ambience with the picture.
This free AI image to video generator gives every new account 15 credits on signup, enough for a 5-second 480p test clip on Grok Imagine 1.5. Longer or higher-resolution videos cost credits, which you can buy as a one-off pack with no subscription. There is no unlimited free plan.
It depends on model, resolution and length. A 5-second 480p clip on Grok Imagine 1.5 is 12 credits and 720p is 23. The same 5 seconds at 720p is 90 credits on Kling 3.0 and 124 on Seedance 2.0 Fast. The exact cost is shown on the Create button before you generate.
Every model except Basic generates native audio, so pick by motion and budget. Basic is the cheapest way to test an idea, without sound. Grok Imagine 1.5 is fast and low-cost with audio. Gemini Omni Flash supports 360p through 4K, with duration-based pricing and an extra charge for 4K. Kling 3.0 supports all three input modes, including up to 7 reference images, at 720p, 1080p and 4K. Seedance 2.0 supports all three modes with six aspect ratios.
Start animates a single image. Between takes a start frame and an end frame and generates the transition. Reference takes up to nine images of people, objects or places and builds a new scene that keeps them consistent.
Yes. Veo 3.1 Lite, Gemini Omni Flash, Kling 3.0 and Seedance 2.0 support 4K on Pro and Ultimate plans; generation still costs credits.
Yes, on every model except Basic, which makes silent clips. The others generate native audio in the same pass as the picture, so ambience, effects and spoken lines come out in sync with what you see. Describe the sound you want in your prompt and it is included in the clip you download, with no editing afterwards.
Grok Imagine 1.5 and Veo 3.1 Lite usually finish in under a minute. Gemini Omni Flash, Kling 3.0 and Seedance 2.0 take a few minutes for longer or higher-resolution clips. You can leave the page; the video appears in your history when it is done.
JPG, PNG or WebP up to 30 MB. Photos, illustrations and AI-generated images all work. You can also pick an image you generated or edited on ImagesArt from My Assets.
Videos you generate are yours to use, including for commercial projects, subject to our terms of service.
