Is animate photo AI free?

Generation uses credits. Select five or ten seconds to see the exact quote before submitting. Viewing the recorded samples is free; this page does not offer unlimited free generation.

Which photos work best?

Use a clear JPG, PNG or WebP up to 10 MB, with an unobstructed subject. Use a photo you have permission to animate. Choose a portrait, pet or scenery preset that matches your subject.

Will the face or pet look exactly the same?

Exact identity and anatomy are not guaranteed. Start with one restrained movement and inspect the full clip for changed facial features, extra limbs or background distortions.

Can I make a talking photo or sync a voice recording?

This page does not accept a speech recording or provide mouth alignment. A blink or subtle movement is different from lip sync.

Where do I find the result, and what if generation fails?

A completed silent clip can be previewed and downloaded as a private MP4 here or recovered in My videos. Provider or MP4-validation failures return the job credits; credit restoration is not a cash refund.

Are these examples real outputs?

The portrait and kitten samples are recorded five-second Kling outputs with their original inputs and settings. They demonstrate those particular cases, not guaranteed quality for every photo. Local mock mode, when shown, returns a test clip instead of a new AI generation.

That curious little look.

An earlier Kling pet animation. Its recorded settings say 9:16, but the downloaded file is 1244×1660, following the source image at about 3:4. This is a separate output from the Seedance test.

Workflow and limitations

Pick a movement, then refine it

Choose Gentle blink, Pet portrait or Scenery in motion to fill an editable prompt. Use one small movement per shot; choose the preset that matches your photo.

One model and an exact quote

Choose five or ten seconds and see the exact Kling credit quote before submission. The page keeps audio off so the output contract and price are unambiguous.

Preview, recover and download

Watch the completed clip, download the private MP4, or recover it in My videos. Provider or MP4-validation failures return job credits; identity and anatomy still require full-result review.

How to use it

01
Sign in and upload a JPG, PNG or WebP you have permission to animate, or select a sample.
02
Choose a matching motion preset, edit the prompt if needed, then review the five- or ten-second duration and exact credit quote.
03
Generate, watch the entire result and download your MP4. If you leave during generation, return to this page or My videos.

Prompt ideas

Untested prompt drafts. For recorded outputs, use the playable examples and testing record.

“The person blinks once with gentle natural breathing. Keep the head still and the camera locked. Preserve facial details and the background. No talking or added objects.”
“A soft breeze gently moves the foliage. Clouds drift slowly while buildings, rocks and the horizon stay still. Locked camera, no added objects.”
“The pet blinks once with a tiny ear twitch and gentle breathing. Keep the body seated and paws still. Locked camera, no extra limbs or objects.”

FAQ

Evidence, sources and testing scope

Two recorded five-second Kling image-to-video outputs cover one fictional adult portrait and one kitten portrait at $0.56 each. This silent photo-animation page is not a talking-photo or lip-sync tool and does not guarantee identity or anatomy preservation.
