How image-to-video AI works.

When you upload an image, an AI model doesn’t just see a flat picture, it interprets the scene. It identifies subjects, estimates depth, and determines how objects relate to each other. Using this understanding, the model predicts realistic motion or camera movement and renders it as a short video clip. The steps below summarize how this happens behind the scenes:

  • Understand the scene.
    AI identifies objects, depth, and perspective from your image.
  • Predict realistic motion.
    The model learns how similar scenes typically move.
  • Generate new frames.
    It creates a sequence of images that form smooth motion.
  • Refine the clip.
    The model blends the frames into a short, coherent video.

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 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.

Is the Adobe Firefly AI Image to video generator free?

You can start using the Adobe Firefly Image to video generator for free, but it’s not unlimited. Adobe offers access to core features at no cost, but more advanced functionalities — like higher usage limits, additional generative credits, and more videos — require a paid plan.

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 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.
