Image to video generator FAQ
What does an image to video generator do?
It takes a still image and generates a moving video sequence using AI models that infer motion, scene dynamics, and camera behavior.
Is this only for product-style images?
No. This works well for selfies, portraits, pets, scenes, illustrations, and other creative references, not just product-style images.
Why not send users directly to /generate?
The generator is the action layer. This page exists to explain the use case clearly and match the search intent of users looking for an image-to-video tool.
