Frequently asked questions
How does animating an image work?
Upload a photo or artwork and add a short line of script. The AI Studio narrates it in the voice you pick and uses image-to-video AI to bring the still to life with natural motion and a camera move, then exports a finished narrated clip.
What can I upload?
Any photo or artwork as a JPG or PNG. Every upload is checked against our content policy before it's animated.
Does it add narration and music?
Yes — one of 53 AI voices reads your line, and you can add a background music bed and choose a camera move (push in, pan, orbit and more).
How much does it cost?
It's priced per clip by the engine you choose — 800 credits on Seedance, for example, shown before you generate. On Creator ($19/mo) and up the unlimited lane costs 0 credits per clip instead: it's in beta, renders a 480p source, and has a daily allowance. If the allowance is already spent, the clip queues and starts after the midnight-UTC reset rather than being refused.
What does the finished animation look like?
A short narrated clip where your image comes to life — subtle motion plus the camera move you chose — exported as a landscape (16:9) video for YouTube or portrait (9:16) for TikTok, Shorts and Reels.
