Which model should I use?
Kling 3.0 Pro RECOMMENDED
Best overall quality. Cinematic motion, great with faces, supports audio. Use this unless you have a specific reason not to.
Best for: Everything - portraits, products, landscapes, cinematic shots
Hailuo 2.3 Fast FAST & CHEAP
Quick results in ~2 min at 1080p. Great for testing prompts before using Pro models.
Best for: Testing ideas, quick drafts, tight budgets
Veo 3.1 TALKING HEADS
Google's model. Best lip sync for talking people. Also supports Start→End frame animation.
Best for: People talking, UGC-style content, lip sync
Kling 2.6 Pro VALUE
Good quality at a lower price. Solid middle-ground option.
Best for: When you want good quality but need to save credits
Motion prompt examples
- Portraits: "subtle smile, eyes blink, hair moves slightly"
- Landscapes: "clouds drift slowly, water ripples, leaves sway"
- Products: "slow 360 rotation, gentle zoom in"
- Cinematic: "camera slowly pushes in, shallow depth of field"
Won't work well
- Complex body movement - walking, dancing, running
- Multiple people - AI struggles to track everyone
- Text or logos - will warp and distort
- Low-res images - artifacts get amplified
Pro tip
Start with Wan 2.6 Flash to test your prompt quickly (15 credits, ~1.5 min). Once you're happy with the motion, switch to Kling 3.0 Pro for the final high-quality version.
First time? Quick tips for the best results
Beginner
Good source images
- Sharp and well lit, at least 1024px on the short side
- One clear subject with a simple background
- Leave some space around the subject so the camera has room to move
- Test at 5 seconds first, then extend once the motion looks right
Avoid
- Screenshots, heavy compression or tiny images - artifacts get amplified
- Busy collages or text-heavy graphics
- Asking for a whole new scene - this tool animates what is already in the frame
- Expecting the first try to be perfect - tweak the prompt and run it again
How It Works
One image in, a moving clip out. No editing skills needed.
1
Upload your image
Drop a photo, or create one from text without leaving the page.
2
Describe the motion
Say what moves and how the camera behaves, then pick a model and length. The credit cost updates live.

Get your video
Generation runs in the background so you can queue several. Download it, or use the result as the next starting frame.
Comparison
Image to Video vs Text to Video
Two tools, different jobs. Here's when to use each.
| Image to Video | Text to Video | |
|---|---|---|
| Starting point | Your own image | A text description |
| Control over the look | Exact - your image is the first frame | The AI decides composition and style |
| What the prompt does | Describes motion only | Describes the scene and the motion |
| Best for | Products, portraits, brand assets, existing artwork | Concepts, storyboards, scenes you have no photo of |
| Start and end frames | Yes (Kling 3.0, Veo 3.1) | No |
FAQ
Common questions
What images can I use for image to video?
JPG, PNG or WebP up to 10MB. Anything from 1024px on the short side works well. The AI animates what is already in the frame, so a sharp, well-lit photo with one clear subject gives the best result.
How long does image to video take to generate?
Between about 1 and 6 minutes depending on the model and clip length. Fast models like Wan 2.6 Flash finish in around 90 seconds; Kling 3.0 Pro and Veo 3.1 take longer for higher quality. Jobs run in the background, so you can queue several and keep working.
How many credits does a video cost?
It depends on the model and duration. The exact cost shows next to the generate button before you confirm. Credits are only charged when a video completes - cancelled or failed generations are free.
How long can the video be, and what resolution?
Most models produce 5 to 15 second clips at 720p or 1080p. Seedance 2.5 and Wan 3.0 go up to 30 seconds, and MiniMax H3 renders at 2K. Longer clips cost proportionally more credits.
Can I use this on any photo?
Only with the permission of the person in it. Snippt does not create sexual content or content involving minors, and every prompt and upload is screened automatically before anything is generated.
Can I animate between two images?
Yes. Kling 3.0 and Veo 3.1 support start and end frames: upload both and the AI creates a smooth transition between them. This works well for morphs, reveals and product turnarounds.
