Animate Photo AI
What it is
Animate Photo AI is a web service that turns a still image into a short video based on a description of the motion the user wants. It is presented for portraits, pets, memories, drawings, product photos, and scenery. Photo to Video accepts JPG, JPEG, or PNG images up to 10 MB, with options for aspect ratio, quality, duration, camera locking, sound, and professional AI video models. Listed durations are 3, 5, and 10 seconds; quality choices are 480p, 720p, and 1080p. An AI Photo Editor accepts JPG, PNG, or WebP images up to 12 MB and up to six reference images, and edited results can be sent to Photo to Video. Sketch to Video works with sketches, line art, concept drawings, and storyboard frames, with six aspect ratios, 480p output, and a four-second default duration. Image Stitch processes source files in the browser and says originals are not sent to an upload API. The free plan includes 50 credits. Paid plans start at $7.90/mo billed annually.
