Portraits & memories
A shared glance or a gentle smile is often enough. When you animate a portrait, give the subject one natural action and keep the camera calm.
For an old photo, begin with a clear scan and a subtle expression. Movement cannot recover missing facial detail.

Illustrations & PNG images
Let hair catch the breeze, soften the clouds, or give a character a small gesture. An AI image animator starts with a better brief when you name the elements that should stay still.
PNG is an accepted image format. Transparent input does not mean transparent video output; describe a background in your prompt.

Scenes & cinematic details
A slow push-in gives a scene depth without asking every object to move. Choose one focal point and describe where the camera should finish.

From photo to motion brief
Use a JPG, PNG or WebP with a readable subject and enough room for movement. Sharp eyes and uncropped hands make a stronger starting point.
Choose subject motion, a camera move, or illustration motion. Tell the prompt what moves, what stays, and how the shot ends.

Yes, you can prepare either here. For old portraits, start with a subtle expression. For drawings, describe which elements should move and which visual style should stay.
Upload a PNG image, select a motion direction and describe the action, camera and ending. Use the illustration prompts for drawings or logos. If your PNG has transparency, specify a background: a transparent input does not guarantee a transparent video. Export the text brief to keep your image and motion direction organized.
Start with a sharp image, keep movement small and use Details to keep to name the features that matter. Avoid turning a face far away from the reference or requesting several actions at once. Preservation instructions help express your intent; they are not a guarantee of the selected model’s result.
Images stay in this browser session for the preview. Navigating between tools preserves the draft for up to 30 minutes; reloading the page clears attached images.
