Features

Vidu Image-to-Video

Vidu Image-to-Video is a fast and affordable image-to-video generation model that transforms static images into dynamic, animated videos. Simply provide an image and describe the motion you want — the model brings your photo to life with smooth, natural animation.


Why It Stands Out

  • Image-driven generation: Start from any image and animate it into a coherent video while preserving the original style.
  • Prompt-guided motion: Describe the action, camera movement, or atmosphere you want and watch your vision unfold.
  • Prompt Enhancer: Built-in AI-powered prompt optimization helps craft better descriptions for improved results.
  • Movement control: Choose from auto, small, medium, or large motion intensity for precise animation control.
  • Affordable pricing: High-quality results at a budget-friendly price point.
  • Reproducibility: Use the seed parameter to recreate exact results or explore variations.

Parameters

ParameterRequiredDescription
promptYesText description of desired motion and style.
imageYesSource image (upload or public URL).
movement_amplitudeNoMotion intensity: auto, small, medium, or large (default: auto).
seedNoSet for reproducibility; -1 for random.

How to Use

  1. Upload your source image — drag and drop a file or paste a public URL.
  2. Write a prompt describing the motion, mood, and style you want. Use the Prompt Enhancer for AI-assisted optimization.
  3. Set movement amplitude — choose auto, small, medium, or large based on desired motion intensity.
  4. Set a seed (optional) for reproducible results.
  5. Click Run and wait for your video to generate.
  6. Preview and download the result.

Best Use Cases

  • Social Media Content — Turn photos into engaging video posts for TikTok, Reels, and Shorts.
  • Marketing & Advertising — Animate product images and hero shots without expensive video production.
  • Storytelling & Art — Bring illustrations, portraits, and artwork to life.
  • E-commerce — Create dynamic product showcases from static photography.
  • Personal Projects — Animate family photos, travel shots, or creative artwork.

Pro Tips for Best Quality

  • Use high-resolution, well-lit source images for optimal results.
  • Be specific in your prompt — describe camera movement, subject actions, and atmospheric details.
  • Use “small” amplitude for subtle movements like breathing or blinking.
  • Use “large” amplitude for dramatic motion like running or dancing.
  • For portraits, describe natural movements like hair flowing or expressions changing.
  • Fix the seed when iterating to compare the effect of different parameters.

Notes

  • Ensure uploaded image URLs are publicly accessible.
  • Processing time varies based on current queue load.
  • For higher quality output, try Vidu Image-to-Video Q1.
  • Please ensure your prompts comply with content guidelines.
