Turn a product photo, artwork, or reference image into a short video. Upload an image, describe the motion, and use Gemini Omni Flash to add natural camera movement.
Three simple steps to turn an image into a video.
Choose a camera movement to animate your image, or use the prompt as a starting point.
Image-to-video workflow notes
Image-to-video is the better workflow when a subject, product, room, character, or artwork needs to remain recognizable. Use the image as the visual anchor, then describe the motion, camera, and atmosphere you want the model to add.
The uploaded image gives the model its strongest instruction. Choose a sharp, well-lit image with the subject visible and not hidden behind clutter. Product photos, portraits, illustrations, ecommerce shots, architecture images, and concept art all work better when the composition already communicates the main subject clearly.
Do not repeat every visual detail already present in the image. Instead, tell the model what should change over time: slow zoom, camera orbit, fabric moving in the wind, subtle product rotation, background parallax, or a reveal. Motion prompts are more effective when they complement the reference rather than fighting it.
For marketing use, image-to-video helps preserve packaging, colors, shapes, interior design, or illustration style better than pure text generation. It is especially useful for ecommerce product loops, real estate previews, app mockups, book covers, character art, and branded social clips where recognition matters.
If the result distorts the subject, reduce the motion and ask for a locked camera or subtle movement. If the clip feels static, add one specific camera action. If the background changes too much, mention that the scene should stay consistent. Small controlled changes usually beat complex prompts for reference-based video.
From product shots to artwork — image-to-video works for practical creative needs.
