What is Image → Video?
Image → Video is an AI-powered feature that transforms your static image into a dynamic video animation with just one click.
Upload any static image, and our AI assistant Oli will generate a 5-second video clip, bringing subtle motion, depth, and energy to your visuals.

How to access Image → Video
Click on an image in an artboard
In the Animate tab, under Image → Video, click Generate video
Let the magic happen
⏳ Tip: You can continue working while the video is generating — you’ll see a notification once your video is ready.
Getting the most out of Image → Video
As with all AI-powered features, results can vary. Here are a few tips to get more reliable and useful outputs:
Start with clear imagery
High-quality images with a clear subject tend to produce better results. Busy or ambiguous visuals may lead to less predictable motion.
Optimize for short, expressive clips
Image → Video is built to add expressive, eye-catching motion to your images. It works best when it creates short videos that highlight key details and create a natural sense of movement.
Try multiple generations
Each generation can differ slightly. If the first result isn’t quite right, running it again can often unlock a better direction.
Frequently asked questions
What are the image requirements for converting an image to a video?
Your image needs to be at least 300 × 300 pixels, it must not contain any transparency, and its aspect ratio must fall between 1:2.5 and 2.5:1. Images that don’t meet these criteria won’t show the Image → Video option.
Can I change the duration of generated videos?
Image → Video currently generates 5-second animations by default. We aim to offer more options and customizability in the future.
Will I always get the same result?
Each generation varies the result you get, although you may notice some fundamental similarities depending on the image used.
Does Image → Video work on existing videos?
No, Image → Video only works with your static images supported by Jitter, such as PNG or JPEG files.
Are there limits to usage?
Usage credits offered for Image → Video are shared with our AI Brainstorm feature. For now, we offer 3 usage tiers based on your pricing plan:
Free: Limited AI usage
Pro: Increased AI usage
Team: Maximum AI usage
Do note that video generation is considerably more expensive than performing a brainstorm, and you may hit your AI credit limits quicker if you’re using it often.
Can I perform multiple video generations?
Only one video generation can be running at a time.
Are you using my images to train your model?
We do not use your work or designs to train our AI model.
