PixRoute

Image to Video

Turn a still image into moving video: upload a frame, describe the motion, and let Seedance 2.5, Kling 3.0, MiniMax H3, or Seedance 2.0 animate it. Every video model here takes first AND last keyframes — give it a start frame and an end frame and the model shoots the transition.

Image to Video FAQ

How does image to video AI work?+

The model uses your image as the first frame and generates the motion you describe, preserving the subject and style of the original. With an optional last keyframe, it renders the transition between your two frames.

What are first and last keyframes?+

You give the model a starting image and an ending image, and it generates the shot connecting them. PixRoute supports this on all five video models — the frames don't need to match in content, and the first frame defines the canvas.

How much does image to video cost?+

Per second of output from your credit balance, from 12 credits/second on Veo 3.1 Lite — a 4-second animation with sound is 48 credits, and the flagship tiers run 31–113 credits/second. The 50 signup credits cover one 4-second Lite clip or a stack of images; longer runs need a credit pack or plan.

What images work best?+

Clear subjects at 300px or larger on the short side, in ratios between roughly 2:5 and 5:2. Photos, renders, and AI-generated frames all work — the sharper the source, the better the motion.

Will the video keep my image's aspect ratio?+

Yes — the input image is the canvas. Models follow the source ratio automatically, so a vertical photo yields a vertical video without cropping surprises.

Can the animated video have sound?+

Yes — animate with Seedance 2.5 or MiniMax H3 and the clip comes with synchronized audio built in.
