What is photo-to-video?
A photo-to-video workflow uses permitted source photos as references for a fictional moving scene. On this site, available direct-video templates send your photos into video generation after you review the settings and confirm the quote.

The short answer
Photo-to-video creates a moving clip from still images. The thumbnail after upload shows your source photo; it is not a generated still or proof of the final motion or likeness.
Choose an available template that fits your photos, review its input slots, duration, resolution and credit quote, then inspect the finished video before sharing it.
- Source permissions are required.
- AI can change faces and details.
- A silent clip does not include music rights.
What happens to your photos?
The selected template defines how many photos you need and which subjects belong in each slot. Use a clear, well-lit car photo with the wheels and roof visible when the slot asks for a car; add a portrait only if the template requests one.
After upload, check the source thumbnail and replace an unsuitable photo. The direct-video flow does not create a separate AI still image. Once you confirm the quote and complete any required account or verification steps, the task produces a video; AI may change vehicle details, faces or motion.

Check faces, clothing, hands and the relationship between subjects. If the result misrepresents someone, do not publish it. Ask for permission from people whose likeness you use.
Use music only when your intended platform and audience are covered by the relevant rights. Exported video and music licensing are separate decisions.
Frequently asked questions
Does the upload thumbnail guarantee the finished video?
No. The thumbnail shows the uploaded source, not a generated result. Review motion, vehicle details and likeness in the finished clip.
Can I use someone else’s photo?
Only when you have permission to use that image and likeness for this purpose.
