Best for

Creators who already have a still image and need motion next

If the character art, product still, or poster is already approved, image-to-video is usually the more stable path than text-to-video.

Starter setup

9:16 + 6s + Seedance

Begin with a shorter duration and a vertical ratio to validate motion direction before moving into a heavier model.

Next step

Carry the first frame and model choice into the Studio

This workflow is sensitive to path friction, so the best move is to go directly from the workflow page into the Studio.

Start Creating

Open the image-to-video workspace

If you already have a first frame, character image, or product visual, open the Studio, upload the image, and start with Seedance or another video model.

Overview

What is the image-to-video page?

Image-to-video is useful when you already have a clear visual starting point. Upload a product image, character concept, poster, or cover image and turn it into motion.

It is especially useful when you need to keep the subject consistent, such as product showcases, character motion, animated covers, and ad openers.

FAQ

Image-to-video FAQ

When should I use image-to-video instead of text-to-video?

Use image-to-video when you already have a source image you want to preserve. Use text-to-video when you only have an idea or script.

What kind of source image works best?

Use a clear image with stable lighting and minimal occlusion. Product shots, character portraits, and well-composed posters usually produce more stable motion.
