AI Image to Video Generator
Turn a photo or still image into an AI video. Upload the image, describe how the subject, camera, and scene should move, then choose a video model and generate in Ikat.
AI VIDEO SHOWCASE
Image to video examples
See how current models animate a source image while preserving its visual direction.
KEEP THE FRAME. DIRECT THE MOTION.
Direct what happens next
Your source image already establishes the subject, composition, palette, and visual starting point. Use the motion prompt to direct movement, camera behavior, and scene change.

AI video generation can change fine details between frames, including faces, logos, text, packaging, and other small details.
CONTROL WHERE THE SHOT LANDS
Guide the first and last frame when the model supports it
The first frame, or Start Frame, tells the model where the shot begins. When the selected model supports it, the last frame, or End Frame, can also guide where the motion should arrive.
Start Frame only
Use one starting image when you know how the shot begins and want the model to interpret the motion path from your prompt.
Start + End Frame · First + Last Frame
Add an ending frame when you also want to guide the target look or composition at the end of the shot.
End Frame only appears when the selected model supports it.
COMPARE VIDEO MODELS

IMAGE TO VIDEO FAQ
What to know before animating a frame
What is Image to Video AI?
Image to Video AI turns a photo, picture, or still image into a short generated video. The source image sets the subject and composition, while your motion prompt directs how the subject, camera, and scene should move. It is a simple way to create video from images without starting from text alone.
Why is there no independent aspect-ratio control?
The source image sets the output shape in the current Image to Video workflow, so there is no separate aspect-ratio setting.
Do I need a motion prompt?
Yes. The motion prompt tells the model how the uploaded image should move and change.
Can I add an End Frame?
Yes, when the selected model supports it. The End Frame option appears automatically when available.
