What is Image to Video?
The Image-to-Video AI Generator lets you transform portraits, illustrations and photos into short animated clips. DomoAI's technology adds natural camera motion and subtle effects to still images, making them ideal for social posts, advertising or personal storytelling.
How It Works (Step by Step)
Step 1 - Upload Your Image
Navigate to the Image-to-Video tool and drop in a high-quality JPEG, PNG or JPG.
Best results with clear subjects
Step 2 - Choose Motion Type
Template Animations: Choose pre-built motion patterns like Kiss, Dance, Zoom in and more.
Custom Motion with Prompts: Write descriptive text like "Camera slowly zooms in while subject turns head left", "Wind blowing through hair, gentle smile"
Step 3 - Generate and Review
A 5-10 second video generally completes within a minute. Preview the result and, if necessary, adjust your prompt and regenerate.
Step 4 - Download & Share
Download the final video once you're satisfied. And you could share it with the world.

Input guidelines
Ensure you have sufficient credits, as longer clips and higher resolutions require more credits.
A high-quality JPEG, PNG or JPG
An idea of the desired motion control
For images with strong artistic style:
Don't write prompts, let AI infer on its own
Recommended duration: 5 seconds
This approach preserves the image's original atmosphere and artistic style, with generally smaller motion amplitude
Strong artistic style
Moody vibe
For images with obvious character emotions:
Don't write prompts, let AI infer on its own
Recommended duration: 5 seconds
Generate 2-3 versions at once for the same image
Each attempt produces different motion patterns. Review all outputs together and select the best animation
Emotional distress
Happiness
For images with prominent human subjects/strong narrative:
✅ Write descriptive prompts
Recommended duration: 10 seconds (frame interpolation slows motion, so 10s allows secondary speed-up for natural, complete character actions)
Prompt showcases:
Prompt: A man is eating noodles
Prompt: A man’s hat on fire
Prompt: A man is drinking beer

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. What image formats are supported?
DomoAI accepts JPEG, PNG and JPG files. For best results, use high-resolution images.
2. Can I animate multiple people in one image?
Yes, but results are best with 1-2 subjects. For group photos, the AI may struggle with individual movements.
3. How long does it take to generate a video?
Processing time depends on the chosen duration. For 5-second and 10-second clips it typically takes only a few minutes to generate.
4. How do I control the animation?
You can write a text prompt describing the motion you want (e.g., "slow zoom in" or "character laughing") or choose from built-in templates for actions like kissing, hugging or various camera movements.
