Free Credits For New Users

Sign up and get free credits โ€” enough to animate your first photos at no cost. No credit card required to start. Try prompts, compare results, and only upgrade if you need more.

Animate Any Photo Free

Portraits, old family photos, pets, product shots, travel pictures โ€” upload one still image and turn it into motion. The AI keeps faces, colors, and details intact while adding natural movement.

One Photo Is All You Need

No video footage, no green screen, no timeline. Type a short prompt, generate, and download an MP4 ready to share with family or post on social.

Motion With Sound

Powered by Grok Imagine Video 1.5, clips can include native audio โ€” ambient sound, soft music, or spoken lines. Your free animated photo arrives ready to post, not silent and half-finished.

Social-Ready Aspect Ratios

Generate in 9:16 for TikTok and Reels, 1:1 for feed posts, or 16:9 for YouTube. Free credits work across all formats, so you can test what fits your audience before committing.

Upgrade Only When You Need More

Stay on free credits as long as you like. Paid plans kick in when you want more generations, longer clips, or higher resolution โ€” there is no forced subscription to try the tool.
