Image to video AI: bring any photo to life
Upload a photo — a product, a portrait, a landscape or an image you generated — and describe how it should move. The video model keeps your picture as the first frame, so the look, the face and the product stay exactly as they are.

Why start from an image
Text to video decides what everything looks like. Image to video keeps what you already have: your product, your character, your brand colours. That makes it the best way to make ads from product photos, and to keep the same person in every scene of a video.
Make the image here too
No photo yet? Generate one with Nano Banana Pro, FLUX.3 or Seedream on the same canvas, approve it, and it flows straight into the video model.
Frequently asked questions

Yes. Use photos you have the right to use. Gemini Omni Flash can make the person speak a line you put in quotes.
