AI‑Powered Scene Selection
Let the AI Image Animator analyze your photo and suggest motion styles that fit—subtle portrait breathing, rippling water, drifting clouds, or dynamic product spins. Start fast, then refine without guesswork.
Multi‑Model Integration
Compare top animation engines inside one AI Image Animator. Switch models per image to optimize realism, texture handling, or speed, then lock the look that best matches your brand or story.
Realistic Facial Animation
Automatically detect faces and animate natural expressions—micro‑smiles, blinks, nods, and gaze shifts. The AI Image Animator keeps motions subtle and human to avoid uncanny results.
Object Motion Generation
Highlight cars, clothing, hair, water, or props and let the AI Image Animator generate believable motion paths. Blend foreground motion with parallax depth for cohesive, cinematic movement.
Layered 3D Parallax
Turn 2D into pseudo‑3D. The AI Image Animator builds a depth map and separates layers so your image breathes with perspective. Add camera pans, tilts, and dolly moves with zero keyframes.
Text‑to‑Video Prompts
Describe the motion you want and the AI Image Animator executes it: “gentle breeze, soft hair movement, warm light drift.” Iterate quickly with creative language, not complex timelines.
Audio, Voice, and Music
Import a voiceover, choose background music, or add sound effects. The AI Image Animator times motion to beats or words for cohesive, story‑driven results.
Batch, API, and Auto‑Publisher
Animate many images at once, integrate via API, and publish directly to your channels. The AI Image Animator tracks performance with built‑in analytics so you can learn what works and iterate.
