Every clip below started as a single still photo. Short, silent previews here; on models with audio you also get the sound.
One product photo of a cup. The AI adds the steam and keeps the cup still.
For product pages and adsA night sky photo turned into slow moving lights that loop without a cut.
For ambient YouTube videosThe wax rises and falls on repeat, from a single photo of the lamp.
For Reels and Shorts backgroundsA drone photo of the sea becomes waves rolling onto the sand, again and again.
For relaxing loops and wallpapersA fireplace photo with flickering flames, ready to stretch into a long ambient video.
For ambient YouTube videosThe same three steps in the web app and in the phone app.

Image to video AI takes a still photo and generates a short video from it. The model keeps the look of your photo and adds motion: steam rising from a cup, waves rolling in, a camera moving around a product. You guide it with a short text prompt.
Open the image to video tool in the web app or in the Aura AI app for iPhone and Android, upload a JPG, PNG or WebP photo, describe what should move, pick a model or leave Best Match, and generate. The video appears in your history, ready to download.

Most models output 720p or 1080p. Veo 3.1, Seedance 2.0 and the Kling 4K versions can render in 4K, and LTX 2.3 goes up to 2160p. The tool only shows the resolutions the selected model supports.
Yes. Choose the Loop effect, or add the word loop to your prompt, and the last frame flows back into the first. The aurora, ocean, fireplace and lava lamp clips on this page were made that way. The AI video loop generator page has more examples.
A sharp photo with a clear subject and the framing you want in the video. The photo is used as the starting frame, so crop it to the aspect ratio you need before uploading, and describe only the motion, not the whole scene again.
