One free video a day per device, and a daily total per network. If a video fails or is rejected, nothing is used up.

What it is

One still photo in, five seconds of motion out

Image to video AI takes a photo and generates the frames that would follow it: a slow push-in, wind in the trees, a dog turning its head. You upload the photo, describe the motion or pick a preset, and a video model such as Wan, MiniMax or Google Veo renders a 5 to 10 second clip in the browser, without editing software or keyframes.

  • The free video is realOne a day per device, 5 seconds at 720p, with a small corner mark, downloadable. Sign in for a second one.
  • Failed or rejected costs nothingChecks run before generation. Credits come back on any failure; a free video is not used up.
  • The model is namedEvery video shows the model and settings that made it. VividHour is independent and runs Wan, Runway, MiniMax and Google Veo.
  • Your photo is deleted in 7 daysNever used for training. Videos made on a paid plan are yours to use commercially.

How it works

Four steps, no account for the first one

  1. 1Upload a photo

    JPG, PNG, WebP or HEIC up to 10 MB. iPhone photos work as they are.

  2. 2Describe the motion, or pick a preset

    Natural motion is the default. Write a sentence for something specific, or load one of the examples above.

  3. 3Generate, free today

    The page shows the stage it is at, never a countdown. Close the tab and come back; the job keeps running.

  4. 4Download or save

    Free videos are a 5 second MP4 at 720p, silent, with a small corner mark. Save it to an account to keep it 7 days and get a second free video today.

What does not work well

  • One clear subject in good light works best. Busy backgrounds and tiny subjects lose detail.
  • Faces can drift over 5 seconds; hands and small text often go wrong. We would rather tell you than let you find out.
  • Only upload photos you have the right to use. Photos of children only by their parent or guardian.

Models and tiers

One photo, every tier

Three tiers, three named models. The credit cost is on the button before you press it, and a failed video never charges.

FAQs about image to video

Short answers. Longer ones are on the pricing page and in the legal pages.

Is the free video real, and does it need a card?

Yes, and no card. One video per device per day: 5 seconds, 720p, no sound, with a small corner mark, generated and downloadable. Sign in and you get a second one. If it fails or is rejected, nothing is used up.

Does the video have sound?

Standard and pro videos do: the model generates sound with the picture, and dialogue you write in quotes is spoken. Free videos are silent; the credit table shows which tier has sound.

How long does it take?

It depends on the queue. The page shows the current stage, and you can come back later; nothing is lost if you close the tab.

Can I use the videos commercially?

Videos made on a paid plan or with a credit pack are yours to use commercially. Free videos are for personal use.

What happens to my photo?

It is deleted after 7 days and never used for training. The full rule is in the privacy policy.

Why was my photo or prompt rejected, and was I charged?

The reason is shown on the page. Checks run before generation, so nothing is charged for a rejected video, and you can appeal; a person answers within 48 hours.

How do I cancel?

One click on your account page. The refund rule is on the refund policy page.

Your first video is free

Without sign-up or a card. If it fails or is rejected, nothing is used up.
