How Image to Video Works
Transform your photos into dynamic videos in three simple steps
Upload Your Image
Upload any photo in JPG, PNG, or WebP format. High-resolution images work best. The AI analyzes your image to identify subjects, depth, and potential motion areas automatically.
Describe the Motion
Write a prompt describing how you want the image to move. Specify camera movements (zoom, pan, tilt), subject actions, or atmospheric effects. Choose your preferred AI model and settings.
Generate & Download
Click generate and watch your image transform into video in 30-120 seconds. Preview the animation, download in HD quality, or generate variations until you find the perfect motion.

Nano Banana 2 offers access to the most advanced image animation models available, including VEO3 (Google's flagship video model), Kling AI, Hailuo, and Seedance — all in one platform. Unlike competitors that offer only a single proprietary model, we give you the flexibility to choose the best tool for your specific image and motion style.

Professional Image Animation for Every Platform
Today's content creators need animated visuals across multiple platforms, each with different requirements. Nano Banana 2's image-to-video generator supports all major formats: 16:9 landscape for YouTube and presentations, 9:16 portrait for TikTok and Instagram Reels, and 1:1 square for social feeds. Generate in 720p for fast iterations or 1080p Full HD for final production.
The key to great image animation is writing descriptive motion prompts. Describe how you want the camera to move (zoom, pan, tracking shot), what motion you want applied to subjects (subtle breathing, head turn, walking), and any atmospheric effects (floating particles, light rays, wind). Our AI models excel at interpreting these directions to create natural, cinematic motion.
All animated videos come with full commercial rights. Use them in monetized YouTube videos, paid advertising campaigns, client projects, and product listings. Compare this value to Runway at $144/year or Luma's limited free tier, and it's clear why creators are switching to Nano Banana 2 for their image animation needs.
