Animate a photo with direction
Start from an image and describe the camera move, subject motion, lighting change, and pacing you want. Kollab keeps the original photo and prompt together.
Image to video AIturn photos into stunning videos
Upload a product photo, portrait, concept art, or campaign image. Kollab uses Seedance 2.0 to animate the photo into a short AI video while keeping revisions and team review in one workspace.
For private files, open Kollab and upload the image in the task composer; the conversion brief will already be filled in.
Photo to video AIbuilt for usable creative work
Kollab combines image-to-video generation with the workspace layer teams need for briefs, references, reviews, and final assets.
Preserve the visual identity
Use the photo as the visual anchor so product shape, character design, composition, and brand direction stay easier to review.
Refine motion by chat
Ask for slower movement, a stronger reveal, different lighting, or a social-ready cut without losing the image and revision context.
Team-ready video artifacts
Every generated photo-to-video result becomes a Kollab artifact that can be reviewed, downloaded, and reused across the project.

Frequently asked questions
What is image to video AI?+
Image to video AI turns a still image into a short video by using the photo as a visual reference and generating motion, camera movement, lighting changes, or atmospheric animation around it.
Can Kollab turn a photo into a video?+
Yes. Upload or select an image in Kollab, describe the motion you want, and use the Seedance 2.0 video workflow to generate a photo-to-video result.
What photos work best?+
Clear product shots, portraits, illustrations, concept art, and campaign key visuals work well because the model has a strong subject and composition to preserve.
Can I revise the generated video?+
Yes. You can keep the same image and ask for different motion, pacing, lighting, camera direction, or channel format in the same Kollab task.
Is this different from text to video?+
Yes. Text to video starts primarily from a prompt. Image to video starts from an existing photo or visual, which helps preserve identity, composition, and approved creative direction.
