## Definition

Image-to-video is an AI capability that animates a static image into a video clip, adding motion, camera movement, and scene dynamics based on the source image and optional text guidance.

## Extended Definition

Image-to-video models take a reference image and generate a video that brings it to life with natural motion. The AI preserves the composition, colors, and subjects of the original image while adding realistic movement. This is useful for animating product photos, concept art, storyboard frames, or AI-generated images. Combined with text-to-image and image-to-video in sequence, creators can have full control over the visual appearance before animation. Models like Kling, Wan, and Veo support image-to-video generation with varying quality and motion fidelity. BlitzReels integrates image-to-video alongside text-to-video in its AI Studio.
