Free MiniMax H3 Image to Video
Start from a photo, artwork or product image. Direct the motion and sound, then review the details in your finished clip.
Use your photo, artwork or product image as the starting frame. Describe one action and a camera movement, and let MiniMax H3 create a short clip with sound.
Start with a clean, well-lit image. Review faces, hands, text and product details in the output: image-to-video can alter details. Free and PRO presets depend on your current account allowance; see the studio before generating.
What You Can Animate
Portraits
A smile, a head turn, hair in the wind, or a short spoken line in quotes.
Pets
Make your cat blink and stretch or your dog run toward the camera.
Products
Rotate a sneaker, pour a drink, or add steam to a coffee cup for an ad.
Landscapes
Moving clouds, flowing water, drifting fog and a slow camera push.

Animate images you made with Flux, Qwen or Z-Image on JollyAI.

How It Works
Upload a photo
Clear, well-lit images with one main subject give the best results. JPG, PNG and WebP work.
Describe the motion
Say what moves and how: "she laughs and looks to the side, soft breeze, birds chirping".
Download your video
Preview the clip and download the MP4, sound included.
Tips for Better Image-to-Video Results
- Describe motion, not the picture. H3 can already see the image. Spend your words on what changes.
- One action per clip. "Turns and waves" works; a whole sequence of actions usually does not fit in 4 seconds.
- Match the aspect ratio to your photo so nothing gets cropped awkwardly.
- Ask for sound on purpose: "sound of rain", "crowd noise", "she whispers 'look'".
- Keep the camera calm for faces. A slow push-in keeps the likeness more stable than a fast orbit.
