Image to Video

Create motion from a reference image with model-aware controls

Upload a reference image, review which models support image-guided generation, and create a video from one dashboard. Vidyu keeps the upload, settings, and output history together.

  • Use one reference image across multiple image-to-video models
  • Check duration, resolution, and aspect ratio support
  • Track outputs, thumbnails, and downloads from one account

How it works

How to use this page

01

Upload a reference image

Start from a photo, illustration, product still, or storyboard frame. Vidyu stores the reference and routes it to the selected model.

02

Describe the motion or scene change

Use the prompt to describe camera movement, subject motion, environmental change, or a new staging of the scene.

03

Generate and review the result

When the render completes, download the MP4 and continue iterating from the dashboard if you need another pass.

What to know

Key details before you choose a model

Image-aware model selection

Different models behave differently with product images, portraits, illustrations, and concept frames. Vidyu keeps those options in one place.

Upload once

You can upload the reference once and generate from the same dashboard instead of re-uploading the same source across multiple tools.

Common production tasks

Image-to-video is used for product demos, concept exploration, social assets, poster animation, and ad variants.
