About AI Animate Image

AI Animate Image is an online tool that turns a single still photo into a short MP4 video. It accepts JPG, PNG and WebP images up to 10 MB and animates portraits, product shots, artwork, cartoons and old photos. It is made for creators who want clips for TikTok, Reels or an online store, and it needs no editing skills, timeline or keyframes. New accounts receive starter credits after signing up, and no credit card is needed.

A user signs in, uploads the source image, picks the AnimateImg model and writes a prompt describing the motion, such as a gentle smile or a slow camera push-in. Duration, aspect ratio, resolution, a fixed-lens option and generated audio can be set, and an optional tail frame can be uploaded. The credit cost is shown before generation. Most clips finish in 60 to 90 seconds, and the finished MP4 is downloaded from the result or from the history view.

Several AI video models run behind AI Animate Image, with Image to Video and Text to Video modes, lip sync, and prompt templates that fill in a motion such as an orbit camera reveal or a product commercial. The default Animate model offers clip lengths of 4, 8 or 12 seconds and resolutions of 480p, 720p or 1080p. Related tools include Motion Control, which takes movement from a reference video, and a page for the Kling 3.0 model.

AI Animate Image sells pay-as-you-go credit packs: Starter at $4.99 for 20 credits, Basic at $10.89 for 100 credits, Pro at $54.89 for 1,000 credits and Ultra at $109.89 for 3,000 credits, each valid for one year. Paid packs remove the watermark, keep original files and include commercial usage rights; higher tiers add 1080P output, more concurrent jobs and priority support. Every clip is capped at 12 seconds. Monthly and yearly subscriptions are also offered.
