A portrait, a product shot, a painting and a travel photo, each one a single image turned into a video with the Protoface AI photo to video generator.
How it works
How does the Protoface image to video AI generator work?
Upload an image and Protoface turns it into a video. Your image sets the look, and a short written description sets the motion.
YOUR IMAGE
01 / LOOK
Your image sets the look
The person, colours and setting all come from the one image that you upload.
YOUR DESCRIPTION
02 / MOTION
Your words set the motion
Describe the motion in a sentence or two, such as “She looks up and smiles.”
YOUR VIDEO
03 / RESULT
Your video brings it to life
Protoface turns your image into a video that follows your words, ready to post.
How to make one
How to turn a photo into a video with Protoface
Go from one still image to a finished video in six short steps, with no editing software and no subscription to manage.
01 / IMAGE
Upload a clear image
Use a sharp photo, illustration or AI image with one clear subject in the frame.
02 / MOTION
Describe the motion you want
Say what moves and what the camera does, such as a slow push in on a smile.
03 / MODEL
Pick a model for the job
Wan 3.0 runs longest, Seedance 2.0 reaches 4K, and Veo 3.1 adds matching sound.
04 / SETTINGS
Set length, shape and sound
Choose how many seconds, a wide or vertical shape, and whether you want sound.
05 / GENERATE
Check the estimate, then generate
See the credit cost for your settings before you commit, then generate your video.
06 / REVIEW
Review faces, hands and text
Watch for details that drift. If something looks off, change one thing and retry.
Better images, cleaner motion
Which images work best for photo to video AI?
A clear image gives you steadier motion and fewer retries. Check yours before you spend credits.
✓
One clear subject, in focus and well lit
✓
Space around the subject, so the motion has room
✓
The same shape as your video, wide for 16:9 or vertical for 9:16

An image you made or have the right to use

A video for your song
Set your cover art or band photo in motion with the AI music video generator.

Consent and rights

01 / PEOPLE
Photos with clear consent
Only animate photos of people who agreed. Never depict a real person without consent.
02 / IMAGES
Images you are cleared to use
Use images you made or have the right to use. A picture found online is not yours to reuse.

Say when a video is AI-made
Label the video as AI-generated when you post it, so viewers know what they are watching.

01 / SEND
Send the image and description
Your app uploads the image your user picked, with a line describing the motion.
02 / GENERATE
Start the video
One request to the model you choose creates the video. You pay as you go, with no subscription.
03 / DELIVER
Show the finished video
When the video is ready, your app collects it and shows it to your user.
