Image to video AI: animate any photo

Creative Claw animates any photo into a video inside ChatGPT, Claude or Codex: attach the image, describe the motion, and it renders it with Gemini Omni Flash, Seedance 2.5 or MiniMax H3 Max, keeping your product, label or face consistent. A 5-second 1080p Gemini Omni Flash clip costs 130 credits ($1.30), with no subscription.

How it works

  1. 1

    Attach the image

    A photo, product packshot, illustration or generated frame. Higher resolution keeps more detail.

  2. 2

    Describe the motion

    Say what moves and how the camera moves: “slow push-in, steam rising, label stays readable”.

  3. 3

    Pick a model

    Gemini Omni Flash for most clips with sound, Seedance 2.5 for premium fidelity, MiniMax H3 Max Fast for cheap drafts.

  4. 4

    Review and refine

    Check the clip, ask for changes, then add music, a voiceover or captions in the same chat.

FAQ

Can ChatGPT animate images? +

Not on its own; ChatGPT has no built-in video generation. With the Creative Claw plugin, ChatGPT animates any image you attach into a video with Gemini Omni, Seedance 2.5 or MiniMax H3 Max.

How do I make a photo move with AI? +

Attach the photo in ChatGPT or Claude with Creative Claw installed, describe the motion and camera move, and choose a length and format. A 5-second clip renders in about a minute.

Will my product or face stay the same? +

The image is the first frame, so the subject starts identical. Ask for motion that keeps it intact, for example “label stays readable”, and review the clip; Seedance 2.5 and Gemini Omni hold detail well.

How much does image to video cost? +

A 5-second Gemini Omni Flash clip costs 130 credits ($1.30) at 720p or 1080p. MiniMax H3 Max Fast costs 40 credits ($0.40) at 768p, and Seedance 2.5 costs 267 credits ($2.67) at 720p.

Can the animated photo have sound? +

Yes. Gemini Omni, Seedance and MiniMax H3 Max generate native audio, and you can add a voiceover or music afterwards.

Can I try it for free? +

Yes. New Creative Claw accounts get 100 free credits with no card, enough for two 5-second MiniMax H3 Max Fast clips or six Nano Banana 2 images. After that, $10 buys 1,000 credits that never expire, with no subscription.

Does it work in ChatGPT and Claude? +

Yes. Install Creative Claw from the ChatGPT plugin directory, or add it in Claude at claude.ai/customize/plugins. The same account and credits also work in Codex, Cursor and OpenClaw.

Can I animate a product photo into an ad? +

Yes. Animate one packshot, or generate several scenes from it and join them with a voiceover and captions. See the AI commercial generator page for a full 15-second ad.
