Animate Photo AI is a web service that turns a still photo into a short video from a description of the motion to create. It is presented for portraits, pets, memories, drawings, product photos and scenery. The photo-to-video tool accepts JPG, JPEG or PNG images up to 10 MB, with controls for aspect ratio, quality, duration, camera locking, sound and video models. Listed durations are 3, 5 and 10 seconds; quality options are 480p, 720p and 1080p. An AI Photo Editor accepts JPG, PNG or WebP files up to 12 MB and up to six reference images, and edited results can be sent to Photo to Video. Sketch to Video supports sketches, line art, concept drawings and storyboard frames, with six aspect ratios, 480p output and a four-second default duration. Image Stitch processes source files in the browser and says originals are not sent to an upload API. The free plan includes 50 credits; paid pricing starts at $7.90 per month billed annually.
