Your subject, now in motion

Text-to-video is magical, but sometimes you want your own subject in the frame. Photo-to-video grounds the generation in a picture you provide, so the pet, face, product, or place you care about becomes the star of a moving, stylized clip — no green screen, no editing timeline, no effort.

  • Animate a static image into a moving clip
  • Attach one or more reference photos at once
  • Combine a photo with a prompt and a style
  • Images auto-scaled to Full HD before upload
How it works

From photo to motion in four steps

  1. 1

    Add a photo

    Attach one or more reference photos from your library. Videx auto-scales them to Full HD before upload so the model has clean detail to work with.

  2. 2

    Describe the motion (optional)

    Add a prompt to steer the result — a camera move, an action, a mood — or leave it out and let the photo lead.

  3. 3

    Pick a style

    Choose a look, from photorealistic Realism to Cinematic or Anime, to set the overall aesthetic of the clip.

  4. 4

    Generate & share

    Tap Generate, watch the live queue, then save the finished looping video to Photos or share it anywhere.

What to animate

Great photos to bring to life

Almost any clear photo can become motion. Here are a few favorites.

A pet

Turn a photo of your dog or cat into a slow-motion, cinematic clip worth posting.

A portrait

Bring a favorite headshot to life with subtle, stylized motion.

A product

Give a flat product shot a dynamic, scroll-stopping reveal.

A place

Animate a landscape or a landmark photo into a moving establishing shot.

Just want the photo to move?

Animate it in one tap with PicAlive

Videx stylizes your photo into a new, prompt-driven clip. If you'd rather keep the photo exactly as it is and simply see it come alive — faces smiling, hair swaying — try PicAlive, the one-tap photo animator from the same AI Journey team.

FAQ

Photo to video questions

How do I turn a photo into a video with Videx?
On the Generate tab, attach one or more reference photos, optionally add a prompt and pick a style, then tap Generate. Videx animates your photo into a short, looping clip you can save or share.
Can I combine a photo with a text prompt?
Yes. A description and a reference image can be used together, which gives you more control over the final look — the photo grounds the subject while the prompt guides the motion and mood.
What happens to my photo's resolution?
Reference photos are automatically scaled to Full HD before they're uploaded, so the generation has clean, high-quality detail to work from.
What kinds of photos work best?
Clear, well-lit photos with an obvious subject tend to animate best — a pet, a portrait, a product, or a striking landscape. You can pair the photo with a style to control the overall aesthetic.
