When an image is the right choice
Images are quick and affordable. They are perfect for flyers, thumbnails, product mockups, profile pictures and testing ideas before you spend more on video.
When a video is worth it
Videos grab attention on WhatsApp Status, TikTok and Instagram Reels. Use them when movement tells the story: a product being revealed, a person reacting, or a scene from a drama.
A smart workflow
Many creators make an image first, check that it looks right, then turn that image into a video with Photo to Video. This saves credits and gives you more control.
- 1. Create an image from text
- 2. Pick your favourite result
- 3. Animate it into a 5 second clip
- 4. Edit and export
