# Image to Video

ToolSugar moves a virtual camera across your still photo and saves the result as an MP4. It is not generative AI. Nothing inside the picture moves, and no new frames are invented, so people will not start walking and water will not start flowing. It all runs on your device, and your photo is not uploaded.

Runs on your device

## How it works

1. Drop in a JPG, PNG or WebP photo.
2. Choose zoom in, zoom out, pan left or pan right, then 5, 10 or 15 seconds.
3. Pick a shape, add a sound file if you want one, and make the clip.

## Key facts

- **What it does**: A camera-style zoom or pan across a still image
- **What it does not do**: Generative AI, or any motion inside the picture
- **Lengths**: 5, 10 or 15 seconds
- **Sizes**: 1280 x 720, 720 x 1280, or 720 x 720
- **Sound**: Your own audio file, or a silent track so that platforms accept the clip

## Common uses

- Give a product photo some movement for a feed that favours video.
- Add a slow zoom to a family photo for a slideshow.
- Turn a landscape shot into a vertical clip with a pan across it.

## Questions

### Is this AI video generation?

No. There is no AI model here. It is a zoom or pan calculated from your photo, like the classic documentary effect. If you need objects in the picture to move, this tool cannot do that.

### Is my photo uploaded?

No. The photo and any audio you add are processed in your browser and stay on your device.

### What happens if my audio is longer than the clip?

It is cut at the end of the clip. If it is shorter, the rest of the clip is silent.
