Built for photographs

Give a real moment one believable movement

This page is for camera-made photographs, not illustrations or generated first frames. Start with one visible subject and ask for a motion that could naturally happen just after the shutter clicked.

Portraits

Add a blink, small smile, head turn, or slow push-in while protecting recognizable features.

Pets

Direct an ear twitch, glance, paw movement, or gentle camera track without redesigning the animal.

Travel and places

Move clouds, water, leaves, light, or the camera while keeping the place readable.

Product photos

Use a controlled orbit, light sweep, fabric movement, or clean reveal around the existing item.

Prepare the source

A stronger photo gives the model less to guess

  • Use the original file when possible instead of a compressed screenshot.
  • Keep the main face, paws, hands, or product edges clear and fully inside the frame.
  • Choose the final aspect ratio with room for the camera move you want.
  • Use only a photo you own or have permission to transform.

Write the motion

Describe what changes after the photo

Do not spend the prompt repeating everything already visible. Name the subject movement, camera movement, pace, and the detail that must stay stable.

Keep the person's facial features and clothing unchanged. They blink once, turn slightly toward the window, and smile. The camera makes a slow push-in; motion stays natural and restrained.

Cost before commitment

Start with Seedance 2 Fast at 720P

Seedance 2 Fast at 720P is selected by default. Seedance 2 Mini remains available as a lower-cost option, while Seedance 2.5 costs more. The server shows the current credit quote before any job is submitted; changing a setting never generates automatically.

Know the boundary

Photo animation can still change details

An AI video can drift from the source photo, especially with large movements, hidden limbs, crowds, reflections, or long motion paths. Treat the result as generated media, review identity and anatomy, and try a smaller motion when fidelity matters.

Real people require real permission

Use your own photo or one you are authorized to transform. Do not create deceptive impersonation, non-consensual intimate media, public-figure misuse, or unsafe content involving minors.

Photo to video FAQ

Before you animate a real photo

What kind of photo works best?

Use one clear, well-lit photo with a readable subject and enough space around anything that should move. Avoid tiny faces, heavy blur, and important details cut off by the frame.

Can I animate a portrait or pet photo?

Yes. Keep the first motion request small and natural, such as a head turn, blink, ear movement, or slow camera push. Large body changes are more likely to alter identity or anatomy.

Which model does this page start with?

The page starts with Seedance 2 Fast at 720P. Seedance 2 Mini remains available as a lower-cost option, while Seedance 2.5 is the higher-cost option. You can review the model, duration, audio setting, and exact live credit quote before choosing Generate.

Does uploading a photo start generation or charge credits?

No. Uploading and preparing the setup do not submit a job. Generation starts only after you review the setup and explicitly choose Generate.
