## What it is

Use this when you already have a still and need it to move. Describe the photo (no upload here). This public tool locks the subject and adds camera path and atmosphere. No account.

## Worked examples

### a matte-black water bottle on slate, three-quarter packshot

DTC brand designers · Premium · Launch a product

1. Keep the bottle locked; camera orbits 20° right, condensation catch lights, 8s.
2. Slow push-in, shallow rack from slate texture to logo area — do not invent a logo.
3. Subtle steam or drip only if the still supports it; otherwise static product, moving light.

### a founder headshot looking camera-left in window light

personal-brand editors · Conversational · Grow awareness

1. Hold identity: same wardrobe and crop. Camera eases 5% closer.
2. Parallax on the background bookshelf only; face stays sharp.
3. No expression morph. End frame matches a last-frame still if you have one.

### a neon street still for a fashion lookbook

art directors · Bold · Drive clicks

1. Rain streaks intensify, puddle reflections shimmer, subject frozen.
2. Handheld micro-shake, 24fps, no extra pedestrians invented.
3. Signage text stays unreadable if you do not own those marks.


## FAQs

### Is the image-to-video prompt generator free?

Yes. No signup. Public text tool with rate limits and a template fallback.

### Do I upload the image here?

No. Describe the still in text. Attach the file in the model workspace you actually use.

### How is this different from text-to-video prompts?

It locks the existing frame and adds motion. Text-to-video invents the whole shot.

### Does this animate the photo?

No. It writes the prompt. Generation happens in Video Lab or another image-to-video model.

### What if I have a first and last frame?

Use the first/last frame prompt tool so start and end stills stay consistent.

### Can it add a face that is not in the photo?

Do not. Keep identity, wardrobe, and product true to the still.
