What the Image-to-video tool does

Start from a photo and animate it — add movement, light and energy. Ideal for bringing photos to life.

Everything happens in the Viralio web studio, in English, with nothing to install. You pay in euros and get an automatic VAT invoice.

How it works — 3 steps

  1. Upload the imageA product photo, a portrait, a landscape — anything.
  2. Describe the movement you wantE.g. "the wind moves the hair, the light flickers, slow camera zoom".
  3. Generate the clipThe still image becomes video in under 2 minutes.
A tip for better results

Be specific in the prompt: mention the format (9:16/16:9), the length, the mood and the camera move. Generate 2-3 variants and keep the best — it costs few credits.

Who Image-to-video is for

How to write a good prompt for Image-to-video

The result depends on how clearly you describe what you want. For Image-to-video, think in layers: what is at the centre, what style or mood, what light, what format. For video, add the action and the camera move; on models with native audio you can ask for the sound outright.

An example prompt for Image-to-video
Your subject in action, a clear setting and defined light, a camera move (e.g. dolly in), 9:16 format, matching mood or sound

The full workflow: from idea to post

Here are the exact steps a creator goes through to produce post-ready content, with no team and no editing software:

  1. Start from an idea and a platformDecide what you want to say and where you are posting (TikTok, Reels, Shorts, YouTube, feed). The platform dictates the format and the length.
  2. Write the prompt using the formulaSubject + action + setting + light + camera move + format + audio. The more specific, the better.
  3. Pick the right modelVeo 3 for cinematic with native audio, Seedream for smooth vertical (TikTok/Reels), Grok Aurora for artistic. Or let the automatic recommendation choose.
  4. Generate 2-3 variantsDo not expect perfection first time. Change one element at a time (the light, the angle, the format) and compare. Each variant costs only a few credits.
  5. Add AI voice and subtitlesAI voice narration in English plus automatic subtitles. 85% of people watch with the sound off — subtitles lift both reach and retention.
  6. Publish and measurePost at your audience's peak hour, watch what works and double down on the winning format. Repeat consistently.

Common mistakes (and how to avoid them)

A prompt that is too short and vague
"A beautiful city" leaves the model far too much freedom. Add light, time of day, weather, camera move and format. Image-to-video rewards specificity.
Asking for too many actions in one clip
A clip of a few seconds can carry one clear action. For a story, generate several short clips and stitch them together.
Ignoring the format
If you do not specify 9:16 versus 16:9, you often get a format that does not suit the platform. Always say it explicitly.
Stopping after the first generation
Iteration is part of the process. Generate 2-3 variants and pick the best — it costs few credits and lifts quality a lot.
Forgetting sound and subtitles
A clip with no voice and no subtitles loses both impact and reach. Add an AI voice and automatic subtitles.
