Image to Video AI
Upload a still image and generate a short video clip from it: the subject, style and composition stay locked to your picture while the model animates the scene. Arteza hosts the leading image to video engines, Kling, Seedance, Sora, Wan and Veo, in one studio, so you can animate the same frame with several models and keep the best take.
How it works
Upload your image
Bring any still: a photo, a product shot, or something you generated in the image studio. Sharp, well-lit images with a clear subject animate most cleanly.
Describe the motion
Write a short prompt about what should happen, not what is already visible: a slow camera push, hair moving in the wind, a subject turning toward the lens. Pick a model and duration; the exact credit cost is shown before you generate.
Generate and iterate
The model uses your image as the first frame and generates the clip. If the motion is not right, rerun with a tweaked prompt or switch to another model on the same image without leaving the studio.
Models you can use right now
Every model below is live on Arteza with its current credit cost, pulled from the same pricing engine the studio uses at generation time.

Frequently asked questions
Which AI model is best for image to video?
It depends on the shot. Kling 3.0 Pro is a strong cinematic default with native audio, Seedance 2.0 adds end-frame control for precise framing, Sora 2 handles longer takes with believable physics, and Wan 2.6 is the value pick for volume work. All of them accept an image input on Arteza, so the reliable answer is to run your image through two or three and compare.
Can I control what happens in the video?
Yes. The image controls how things look and your text prompt controls what happens: camera movement, subject action, mood and pacing. Some models, like Seedance 2.0, also accept an end frame so you can pin how the shot finishes.
What images work best?
Sharp images with a single clear subject, good lighting and some space around the subject. Very busy compositions, heavy text overlays and extreme close-ups tend to warp, because the model has to invent detail it cannot see.
Is image to video free to try?
You get free credits on signup, which is enough to generate and compare clips before deciding whether to buy more. Every model shows its exact credit cost before you generate, so there are no surprises.
