# Animate Images

## What is Image to Video?

The **Image to Video** feature is a powerful AI-driven tool that converts static images into cinematic video content. Whether you are using a single image or a sequence of images, the AI model allows you to add motion, effects, and creative transitions to turn your visuals into a complete video.
