About AnimatePhoto AI
AnimatePhoto AI is an online photo animator that turns a still image into a short AI-generated video. A user uploads a photo, describes the motion in words, picks one of several video models and settings, and downloads the clip. It serves people animating portraits, old family photos, product shots, pet pictures, artwork and landscapes for personal or commercial use, from beginners to professionals and teams.
The workflow has three steps. The user uploads a JPG, PNG or WEBP image up to 10MB with one clear subject, chooses a model such as Seedance, Wan, MiniMax H3, HappyHorse, Veo or Grok Imagine and writes a motion prompt naming what moves, how the camera moves and what should stay unchanged, then selects duration, aspect ratio and resolution. The estimated credit cost appears before generation, and task status can be followed while the video processes.
Beyond image to video, the same workspace offers Reference to Video, which guides a new scene with character, product or scene images and, on supported models, video references; Video to Video for restyling an existing clip; Text to Video; ready-made video effects and templates with built-in scenes and soundtracks; and an AI gender swap tool with hair-reveal and spin-reveal templates. Controls such as audio and resolution vary by model, and the same photo and prompt can be compared across models.
New accounts get 20 free credits valid for 30 days, with no credit card. Paid plans are billed monthly or yearly: Lite at $7.99/month for 280 credits, Pro at $25.99/month for 960 credits and Max at $66.99/month for 2,850 credits, with yearly billing granting the full year of credits at once. Paid plans include commercial use and watermark-free exports, unused subscription credits roll over on renewal, one-time credit packs never expire, and eligible purchases carry a 7-day money-back guarantee.
