How to convert an image to video using AI.

Step 1

Open Adobe Firefly.

Log in to Adobe Firefly with your Adobe ID or create a free account if you don’t have one. Open the Adobe Firefly video module by selecting Generate video from an image.

Step 2

Upload your image.

Start by uploading a photo, digital illustration, AI-generated image or other static graphic under the first Frame box. Optional: To indicate the last frame of your video scene, upload an end frame image under the second Frame box.

Step 3

Choose your video settings.

Select the desired resolution (up to 4K) and aspect ratio that fits your project. Whether you’re creating content for social media, the web or pitches and presentations, it’s easy to tailor the output format.

Step 4

Set your camera motion.

Pick from smooth pan, zoom, tilt or directional movement, like left-to-right or top-down. You can also choose different shot styles, such as close-up or wide angle, to create the feeling of depth and cinematic motion.

Step 5

Write a text prompt.

Describe how you want the image brought to life. Your prompt can include style, angle, shot distance, effects, colour grading, subject(s) and any other elements or descriptors to generate video that matches your vision.

Step 6

Generate and fine-tune the results.

Click Generate to see how Adobe Firefly creates a sequence of images that form smooth motion. You can adjust the camera motion or framing until it looks just right and you can add a preset style. To enable style selection, remove the reference image from the prompt box.

Step 7

Export your video.

The model blends the frames into a short, coherent video. Once you’re happy with it, export it directly from Adobe Firefly. Your file will be ready to drop into any project, from B-roll to reels to presentation assets. You can change the export settings to reuse your video in other formats.

Questions? We have answers.

What is image-to-video AI?

Image-to-video AI is a tool that turns still images into short, animated video clips using generative AI to add motion, camera effects and cinematic styling.

How do I turn an image into a video?

To turn an image into a video, you can upload a photo or graphic to Adobe Firefly, choose motion and framing settings and export a video in just a few steps.

How does Adobe Firefly AI Image to video work?

The Adobe Firefly Image to Video feature uses generative AI to analyse a still image and predict how depth, lighting and motion would naturally behave within the scene. Firefly then applies realistic camera movement, motion styles and lighting effects to create a smooth MP4 video clip. Just upload your JPG or AI image, describe your vision, preview the video clip and export an MP4 when you’re happy with the result.

What are generative credits?

Generative credits are used to create content with Adobe Firefly AI tools, including the image-to-video AI generator and help manage access and usage across your account.

What resolution and quality can I expect from an AI-generated video from an image?

You can generate videos up to 4K resolution for professional-level quality. Resolution settings vary by AI model.

How long does it take to generate a video from an image?

Video generation speed in Adobe Firefly varies based on the model and complexity of your prompt, but you’ll typically see results in under two minutes from upload to preview.

What file formats can I export AI-generated videos in?

Generated videos from Adobe Firefly are currently downloadable in MP4 format up to 4K resolution with a duration of approximately five seconds (depending on AI model used). If you generated the clip with text-to-video or image-to-video features, you’ll find the Download button in the top right of the result window. After downloading, you’re free to re-encode, re-format or integrate the clip in other Adobe apps depending on your needs.

How can you use AI-generated videos?

You can use AI-generated videos for B-roll, cutaways, concept visuals, marketing content, social media and anywhere motion adds visual impact. AI-generated videos from still images are also great for product demos, explainer videos, presentations, ad campaigns and background visuals for websites and events.

What makes Adobe Firefly the best image-to-video generator?

Adobe Firefly makes it fast and easy to turn written prompts into high-quality, AI generated videos — no prior experience required. With Image to Video, creators can go from ideas to polished, shareable content in minutes. Plus, other popular tools — such as Luma AI — can be used as partner models directly within Adobe Firefly, letting you expand your creative options without interrupting your workflow.

Is the Adobe Firefly AI image-to-video generator free?

Free users receive free daily generations, so you can try the Adobe Firefly image-to-video generator. Additional access is available when you purchase an Adobe Firefly subscription.

Is the AI video generated from a photo or image generated using commercial IP?

Do I need to be a video professional to use the Adobe Firefly AI image-to-video generator?

Not at all. The image-to-video generator is designed to be simple and easy to use for all skill levels, from beginners to creative pros.

How does the AI image-to-video generator integrate with other Adobe products?

You can export your video directly into Adobe Premiere for further editing or use it in other Adobe Creative Cloud projects.

Can I use AI-generated videos in commercial projects?

As long as the image you upload does not violate copyright, trademark, privacy, publicity or other rights, videos you generate from the image with Adobe Firefly models are commercially safe for campaigns, client work, presentations and more.

Can I use AI images to create video?

AI-generated images can be used as the starting point to create video with tools like Image to Video in Adobe Firefly.

What are the differences between text-to-video and image-to-video AI models?

Text-to-video models build an entire scene from a written prompt. Image-to-video models start with your existing picture and focus on adding motion or camera movement. In Adobe Firefly, Text to Video is great for inventing scenes from scratch, while Image to Video is ideal when you already have strong visuals and want to bring them to life.

What AI video models can I use in Adobe Firefly?

Adobe Firefly integrates a range of trusted partner models for video generation and editing. These include video models from Google, Runway, Luma and OpenAI. Users can also choose the Adobe Firefly Video Model to generate commercially safe content for their project. Together, these models bring advanced creative power and professional-quality results to Adobe Firefly.
