Seedance Image to Video

Upload a still and let Seedance bring it to life with believable, controllable motion.

Seedance image-to-video animates a starting frame into a moving shot. It is ideal for turning product photos, illustrations, and key frames into short cinematic clips without reshooting.

How image-to-video works

Upload your image as the starting frame, then describe the motion you want — a slow push-in, a pan, a subject action. Seedance generates a clip that begins from your frame and moves according to the prompt.

Best inputs for clean results

Use a sharp, well-lit image with a clear subject. Keep the requested motion physically plausible for the scene, and pick 1080p when you need delivery-quality output.

Frequently asked questions

What image formats are supported?

Standard JPG and PNG images work as starting frames.

Can I control the camera movement?

Yes — describe the camera move in your prompt (push in, pan, orbit) to guide the result.
