OpenAI Sora 2 Pro Image-to-Video

Sora 2 Pro Image-to-Video is OpenAI’s premium image animation model. Upload an image and describe the motion — AI transforms your still photo into a cinematic video with physics-aware movement, synchronized audio, and professional-grade quality.

Why Choose This?

• Premium quality Higher fidelity output with enhanced detail preservation and motion coherence.

• Physics-aware motion Learns contact, inertia, and momentum so objects move and collide believably.

• Synchronized audio Generates matching audio — ambient sounds, dialogue, and sound effects.

• Temporal consistency Stable identities, minimal flicker/ghosting, and clean frame-to-frame transitions.

• Resolution options Output in 720p or 1080p for high-definition results.

• Extended duration Generate videos up to 20 seconds long.

Parameters

How to Use

1. Upload your image — the still photo you want to animate.
2. Write your prompt — describe the action, motion, camera movement, and audio.
3. Set duration — choose 4, 8, 12, 16, or 20 seconds.
4. Select resolution — 720p or 1080p.
5. Submit — generate, preview, and download your video.
