Bring your images to life with AI-powered animation and video generation.
How It Works
Explore image to video capabilities on WaveSpeed.
2. Keyframe Control
Specify start and end frames for precise control over the animation. First & Last Frame models generate smooth transitions between two keyframe images.
3. Enhancement Pipeline
Enhance generated videos with upscaling and motion smoothing. Add audio and music or lip-sync for talking head videos.

Q & A
What is image to video?
Image to video is an AI technology that generates video clips from a single still image. The AI predicts and generates natural motion, camera movement, and scene evolution.
What image formats are supported?
WaveSpeed accepts JPEG, PNG, and WebP images. For best results, use high-resolution images (at least 720px on the shortest side).
Can I control the motion direction?
Yes. Many models accept motion prompts or parameters to control camera movement (zoom, pan, tilt) and subject motion direction.
How long are the generated videos?
Typical output is 4-10 seconds at 720p or 1080p. Chain multiple generations or use enhancement tools for longer content.
Can I animate illustrations and artwork?
Yes. Image-to-video models work with photographs, illustrations, digital art, and even sketches.
