Choose a clear photo
One consenting adult or upright humanoid character, with a clear face, shoulders, and torso.
Start with one subject
Use a photo of one consenting adult or one upright humanoid character. Keep the face, shoulders, and torso clearly visible. Ordinary cat, dog, and other four-legged animal photos are not suitable and can produce poor motion. Any person pictured must be an adult who has agreed to AI video generation. Make sure you also have permission to use the image. Results are not guaranteed. This template does not support children or choosing among multiple subjects.
Make the face easy to see
Choose even lighting and an unobstructed face. Avoid heavy filters, motion blur, sunglasses, and extreme angles. A good source helps the model, but it cannot guarantee identity consistency.
Check the exact crop
Upload a JPG, PNG, or WebP under 10 MB and 20 megapixels. Each side must be at least 64 pixels; 256 or more is recommended. Use the studio’s zoom and position controls to frame the subject in the fixed vertical crop. Your video uses the crop shown in the preview.
Preview stays local
Selecting a photo does not upload it. A saved draft contains text and crop settings only, so you must select the photo again when you reopen it. When you generate, your cropped photo is shared securely with our AI service to make your video.
