Questions
- How do I turn an image into a video with AI?
- Upload one clear photo, then either pick a scene template or describe the scene you want. Starrd generates a cinematic video with the person or pet from your photo in it, with sound. No editing or prompt tricks needed.
- Is this the same as photo to video AI?
- Yes. Image to video and photo to video are the same thing: a still picture in, a moving video out. Starrd goes a step further than animating the photo in place. It puts the subject of your photo into a whole new scene, with camera moves and sound.
- What kind of image works best?
- A clear, well-lit photo of one subject with the face visible. Selfies work, and so do photos of pets. Avoid heavy filters, blur and group shots when you want one person in the lead.
- Can I turn a photo of my dog or cat into a video?
- Yes. Many templates are made for pets, and Custom works with any subject. Upload a photo of your pet and it becomes the star of the clip.
- What formats and lengths can I make?
- Templates come in the format they were designed for, usually vertical for TikTok and Reels. With Custom you choose portrait 9:16, landscape 16:9 or square 1:1, and the length.
- How much does it cost?
- It's pay-as-you-go: a video starts at 100 credits, credit packs start at $4.99, credits never expire and there's no subscription.
- Which AI model does it use?
- Starrd picks the model per scene, mostly Seedance 2.5 and Seedance 2.0, with an image step first so your face stays consistent through the whole clip.
