Animate Photo AI is a web service that turns a still photo into a short video based on a description of the motion a user wants. It is presented for portraits, pets, memories, drawings, product photos, and scenery. Photo to Video accepts JPG, JPEG, or PNG images up to 10 MB and offers aspect ratio, quality, duration, camera locking, sound, and professional AI video model choices. Listed durations are 3, 5, and 10 seconds, with quality options of 480p, 720p, and 1080p. The AI Photo Editor accepts JPG, PNG, or WebP images up to 12 MB and up to six reference images; edited results can be sent into Photo to Video. Sketch to Video supports sketches, line art, concept drawings, and storyboard frames, with six aspect ratios, 480p output, and a four-second default duration. Image Stitch processes source files in the browser and says originals are not sent to an upload API. A free plan includes 50 credits. Paid pricing is listed from $7.90/mo billed annually.
