Frequently Asked Questions
How does AI photo to video work?
You upload a photo as the starting frame, then describe what motion you want. Our advanced AI generates a smooth, natural video that brings your photo to life with realistic movement, expressions, and camera motion. The result is a 4-8 second video clip at up to 1080p resolution.
What kinds of photos work best?
Portraits and headshots produce the most impressive results. The AI excels at animating facial expressions, head turns, hair movement, and natural gestures. Full-body shots, product photos, and landscape images also work well. Clear, well-lit photos with a distinct subject give the best output.
How long are the generated videos?
You can generate videos that are 4, 6, or 8 seconds long. While that sounds short, these clips are perfect for social media content, TikTok/Reels, profile videos, and animated portraits. You can also chain clips together for longer sequences.
What resolution are the videos?
Videos are generated at 720p or 1080p resolution in either portrait (9:16) or landscape (16:9) aspect ratio. Portrait mode is ideal for TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts. Landscape works great for YouTube, LinkedIn, and presentations.
How much does photo to video cost?
Video generation costs 3-5 credits per video. Credit packs start at $4.99 for 10 credits. That gives you 2 videos per pack, plus credits for photos and other creative tools. Credits never expire.
Is this different from text-to-video?
Yes. Text-to-video creates a video entirely from a written description. Photo-to-video (first frame mode) uses YOUR actual photo as the starting point, then animates it. This means the video looks like you and maintains your appearance, clothing, and setting. You can also use reference images to guide style and content.
Can I animate AI-generated photos?
Absolutely. Generate a photo in LensCherry's Studio or Quick Shots, then animate it into a video directly from your gallery. This is one of our most popular workflows: create the perfect headshot, then bring it to life as a short clip for your LinkedIn profile or social media.
How does this compare to Kling, Runway, or Pika?
LensCherry uses cutting-edge AI video generation models. The key difference is that LensCherry is an all-in-one creative studio. Generate a professional photo, animate it into a video, add a voiceover, and create a slideshow, all in one place without switching between tools.
