Learn how to use the generative AI to convert a still image into a short AI-generated video.

On the Photoshop on the web homepage, select Upload under Recommended features to add the image you want to animate.

In the Tools panel, select Generative > Image to video.

The Generative panel shows the highlighted Image to video feature along with some additional settings like Duration, Resolution, Motion, Effects, and more.
Use the Image to video feature to transform the still image into a short video.

In the Prompt field, type an effective prompt to describe the motion or action you want to add to the image.

Select the Duration for the video.

Select an Aspect ratio and Resolution for the video.

Select the Motion and Effects, and turn on the Audio if you want sound in the video.

Select Generate to create the video.

Note

Once the video is generated, it opens in the Video preview dialog. Download the generated video or access it later from the Generation history tab.
