Turn a still photo into a short AI video
Upload one photo and Photo AI turns it into a short moving clip. Pick a ready template or describe the movement yourself; the video is ready in about 1.5–2 minutes.
What a photo to video AI actually does
An AI photo to video generator looks at a still image and adds the motion you ask for: a smile, a turn of the head, hair moving in the wind, a slow camera push-in. The result is a short clip that feels as if the moment was filmed.
People use it for stories and reels, to bring an old family picture to life, or to make a greeting for someone close. Everything runs in the browser on a phone or computer, so there is nothing to install.
Two ways to animate a photo on Photo AI
Templates are the quickest route. There are 20+ video templates, each with the scene and movement already worked out. Choose one, upload your photo and wait; no prompt needed.
For your own idea, open Create. Upload a photo, pick a video model (Kling 2.5 Turbo, MiniMax H3 or Kling 3) and describe in plain words what should move. Either way, the clip takes about 1.5–2 minutes and lands in your feed, where you can download it.
Tips and example prompts
Start with a bright, sharp photo where the face is clearly visible. Screenshots and photos of documents are rejected by the automatic check, so upload the original image from your gallery.
Ask for one or two movements rather than a whole story. A few prompts to start from: "She slowly smiles and looks into the camera", "Wind moves his hair and the trees behind him, the camera slowly zooms in", "The child waves at the camera and laughs".
Price in so'm and how to pay
A video template costs 33 credits, which is roughly 5 500–6 600 so'm depending on the pack. The smallest pack is 100 credits for 19 900 so'm, enough for three template videos. Larger packs: 275 credits for 49 900 so'm, 575 for 99 900 so'm and 1 500 for 249 900 so'm. Videos made in Create are priced by the model you pick.
Payment goes through Click, Payme or an Uzcard/Humo card transfer, so you don't need a foreign card or a VPN. Outside Uzbekistan, payment is by Telegram Stars only.
Can I turn a photo into a video for free?
Signing up is free, and new users may get 10 gift credits, though the number of gifts per day is limited. Those credits cover one photo, not a video, so for video you will need a pack, starting at 19 900 so'm.
Do I need to sign up?
Yes. Sign-in takes one tap with Google or Telegram, and all your videos are kept in your feed.
How long does it take to turn a photo into a video?
Usually about 1.5–2 minutes. Photos are much faster, around 15 seconds, but a video simply needs more time.
Can the person in the photo talk?
No. Photo AI does not make talking avatars or lip-sync videos. You describe movement, such as a smile, a glance or a camera move, not speech.
Does it work on a phone?
Yes, Photo AI runs in any browser on a phone or computer. Prefer Telegram? The same service lives in @selfiorabot.
