Images to Video Maker Guide
Turn still images into short videos on Flixly with models like Kling 3.0 and Veo 3.1. Learn the exact workflow, credit costs, and model specs for reliable results.
TL;DR
Flixly turns images into video using models such as Kling 3.0 for 8-second 1080p clips and Veo 3.1 for 10-second multi-image sequences. Upload a photo, pick duration and motion prompt, then generate. Chain clips or add lip sync and music afterward. Ten clips cost around 120 credits.
Understanding Image to Video Conversion
An images to video maker turns static photos into short moving sequences. On Flixly the process starts when you upload one or more images and select a model such as Image to Video. The system adds camera motion, object movement, or character actions while keeping the original visual style intact.
Results appear in 1080p at 24 frames per second for clips up to 8 seconds long. Users report average generation times of 25 seconds per clip when credits are available.
Key Models Available in 2026
Flixly supports several frontier models for this task. Kling 3.0 handles detailed human motion from a single reference photo and outputs 6-second 720p clips. Veo 3.1 accepts up to four images and generates 10-second sequences with camera pan and zoom controls.
Seedance 2.0 focuses on smooth transitions between two keyframes. Wan 2.7 works well for landscape shots and produces 4K still-to-motion outputs that last 5 seconds. Sora 2 adds basic physics simulation when the source image contains objects like flowing water or falling leaves.
Model Comparison Table
| Model | Max Length | Resolution | Typical Credits | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kling 3.0 | 8 sec | 1080p | 12 | Character motion |
| Veo 3.1 | 10 sec | 1080p | 15 | Multi-image scenes |
| Seedance 2.0 | 6 sec | 720p | 9 | Keyframe transitions |
| Wan 2.7 | 5 sec | 4K | 18 | Landscape animation |
Step-by-Step Workflow
Upload your source image on the Image to Video page. Choose a model from the dropdown, set duration between 4 and 10 seconds, and add a short motion prompt such as "slow left pan" or "gentle zoom in."
Click generate. The first result usually lands in your library within 30 seconds. If motion looks off, open the same job in Reference to Video to refine camera paths with additional reference frames.
Extending Stills into Longer Sequences
Create a second clip from the last frame of the first generation and chain them using First to Last Frame. This produces a continuous 15-second piece from a single starting photo.
For character consistency across shots, load the original image into AI Avatar first, then feed the generated avatar into the video tool. The pipeline uses the same face embedding so the person remains recognizable in every new clip.
Adding Audio and Polish
Once the silent clip is ready, route it to Lip Sync Video to match mouth movements to a voice track. A 6-second clip with 44.1 kHz audio takes roughly 8 credits.
Background music comes from the Music Generation tool. Pick a 10-second instrumental loop that matches the mood of your visuals. Export the final file as an MP4 with embedded captions generated by Auto Captions.
Practical Use Cases
Product teams turn product stills into 5-second demo reels for social posts. Teachers convert textbook diagrams into short explanatory videos that run 7 seconds each. Real-estate agents create 8-second walkthroughs from listing photos without additional filming.
Each workflow stays inside the same credit balance. A batch of ten clips typically consumes 120 credits when using mid-tier models.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I turn an image into a video?▾
Upload your photo to the image to video tool, select a model like Kling 3.0, set length between 4 and 10 seconds, and add a motion description before generating.
What resolution and length can I expect?▾
Most outputs are 1080p at 24 fps. Kling 3.0 produces up to 8 seconds while Veo 3.1 reaches 10 seconds from multiple reference images.
How many credits does one clip cost?▾
Typical generations use 9 to 18 credits depending on the model and length. A 6-second Kling 3.0 clip averages 12 credits.
Can I add sound after creating the video?▾
Yes. Route the clip to lip sync for dialogue or add music from the music generation tool. Auto captions can be added in the same workflow.
How do I keep the same character across multiple clips?▾
Generate an avatar from the source image first, then feed that avatar into the video tool so the face embedding stays consistent.
