Questions, Answered

How do I turn a photo into a video?
Go to picto.video, upload your photo, pick a style or type what you want, and tap Generate. Your video is ready in less than 2 minutes.
What photos work?
Old, new, phone pics, scans - people, pets and places. They all work.
Can I animate group photos?
Yes. Just type what you want to happen, like 'everyone smiles and waves' - Picto.Video does the rest.
Can I make a photo a video for free?
No Subscription, No hidden charges. You pay for what you use. You can also earn free credits by sharing Picto.Video.
What does it cost after that?
You buy credits and spend them when you generate, starting at $1 per video. If a generation fails, your credits are refunded automatically. No subscriptions or recurring charges.
How do I make an AI video from a photo?
Upload the photo, then either pick a ready-made style or tell the AI what should happen and to whom. It studies the photo, generates the motion, and delivers a 5-second MP4 in less than 2 minutes.
Is this the same as an iPhone Live Photo?
No. A Live Photo is a short clip your iPhone records around a picture, and only for photos taken that way. Picto.Video creates new motion with AI from any still photo - even a scan of a print from 1954.
How long are the videos and what do I get?
Each video is a 5-second clip that looks natural and realistic, delivered as an MP4 you can download and share anywhere.
Do I need an account?
Creating an account is optional. Create one if you want to keep your videos and credits for later, or to come back from a different device or browser. Sign-in is one click, no passwords to remember. For a one-off video you can skip the account - just wait for your video and don't refresh the page or navigate away.
How do I make a video from photos?
Upload a photo, type a line about what should move, and download the clip. For a set of photos, repeat it per photo: each one becomes its own 5-second video.
Is there an app to turn photos into video?
You do not need one. Picto.Video runs in the browser on your phone or computer, so it works like an app with nothing to install.
