How It Works
Create Image to Video in Four Steps
Go from one source image to a usable video with a clear workflow for motion, camera direction, model choice, and refinement.
01
Upload a Still Image
Choose a portrait, product shot, illustration, or scene as the starting frame.
02
Describe Motion and Camera
Explain how the subject moves and how the camera behaves so the result feels controlled, not random.
03
Choose the Right Model
Start with Veo 3.1 Fast or Quality, or choose another available model for different speed, duration, and controls.
04
Generate and Refine
Export a first version, then refine motion and pacing with prompt changes until it is ready to use.

Not exactly. Nano Banana creates and edits images but does not generate video on its own. This page uses AI video models, with Veo 3.1 selected by default, to animate images made with Nano Banana or any photo you upload.
You can create product videos, social clips, animated portraits, ad concepts, cinematic moments, character scenes, and other short-form video from a single image.
Start with a clear Nano Banana image, then describe motion, camera angle, pacing, mood, and scene changes in the prompt. A strong source image and specific motion instructions usually lead to better results.
