Flux Image to Video Generator
Upload one image and animate it into a moving scene; image-to-video keeps your composition while adding motion, camera, and audio.

Flux Image to Video, Built Around Your First Frame
Flux image to video animates a still you upload. The composition, product angle and art direction in that frame survive into the clip, which is the whole reason to start from an image rather than a prompt.
Your frame stays your frame
The uploaded still anchors composition and colour, so the clip looks like the image moved rather than a new scene appearing.
The prompt describes motion, not the scene
The picture already says what is there. Spend the prompt on how it moves, how fast, and where the camera goes.
Product and brand shots keep their angle
Packaging, hardware, and approved key visuals animate without drifting off the approved look.
Illustrations and renders animate too
Concept art, 3D renders and moodboard frames are valid starting images, not just photographs.

What People Animate From a Reference Image
Image to video is the right tool whenever the look is already approved and only the motion is missing.
Product shots into launch clips
Animate the packshot you already signed off rather than describing it to a model and hoping.
Key visuals into social cuts
A campaign hero image becomes vertical motion for Reels and Shorts without a reshoot.
Concept art into motion studies
Illustrators and art directors test whether a frame reads in movement before committing to animation.
Archive stills into new material
Existing photography earns a second life as short motion for pages, ads, and decks.
Why Starting From an Image Gives You More Control
A reference frame removes the largest variable in AI video: what the scene looks like.

When to Upload a Frame Instead of Writing One
The two workflows are not interchangeable, and the choice is usually obvious once you name the constraint.

How to Animate an Image
Four steps from an existing still to a moving clip.

Upload the frame you want to keep
Use the highest-quality version you have. Compression artefacts in the source carry into the motion.
Describe the movement, not the picture
"Camera pushes in slowly, steam rises from the cup" beats re-describing a cup that is already visible.
Set the duration and aspect ratio
Match the destination before generating so the animated frame is not cropped afterwards.
Compare takes and pick the motion
Generate a couple of variants from the same still and choose on movement, since the look is already fixed.
Writing Image-to-Video Prompts
With the frame supplied, prompt budget should go almost entirely to movement.

Do not re-describe what is visible
Listing the objects in your own image wastes the prompt and can make the model reinterpret them.
Say what moves and what stays still
Naming the static parts is as useful as naming the moving ones, and it protects the composition.
Give the camera one instruction
A single clear move - slow pan left, gentle push-in - reads better than several stacked directions.
Set the pace explicitly
Slow, drifting, brisk. Unspecified timing is the most common reason an otherwise good animation feels wrong.
What the Image to Video Generator Gives You
Upload, direct the motion, and take away a clip that still looks like your original frame.

Reference image upload
Photographs, renders and illustrations all work as the first frame.
Motion-focused prompting
The prompt controls movement and camera while the still holds the composition.
Composition preservation
Framing and colour from the uploaded image carry through the generated clip.
Aspect ratio presets
Publish the animated frame vertical, square or wide without a second crop.
Synced audio on output
Animated clips return with a matching audio bed.

Upload a Frame, Give It Motion
Flux image to video starts from the still you already approved. Animate one free, then scale up when motion becomes a regular deliverable.
