How to turn an image into a video

A static picture makes, for example, a great clip background, but to use it this way you have to turn an image into a video. Luckily, modern technologies allow performing this task in a couple of clicks, and in various ways. Let's first have a look at the easiest one.

Clideo’s image-to-video converter is an online intuitively comprehensive service with limited functionality: it’s designed to perform only file conversion, so you are not likely to get lost in numerous buttons, toggles, checkboxes, and other settings.

The tool is free of charge even for unregistered users under the condition that the file’s size doesn’t exceed 500 MB. It accepts as input not only the most popular image formats, such as JPG or PNG, but also GIF, HEIC, BMP, and JPEG. As for the output, you can choose out of 15 video extensions, including XVID, OGV, MP4, AVI, HEVC, and others.

Just follow three simple steps.

  1. Upload an image to the tool

    Open the Image Converter in any browser, just make sure that your internet connection is fast and stable, as converting may take up to several minutes.

    Hit the "Get started" button and pick up the picture from your device’s storage. Alternatively, just drag the file and drop it on the screen.

    You can upload and convert files one by one.

  2. Convert an image to a video

    To select the new format, first click the "Convert to" drop-down menu.

    Then hover over the video icon to open all the possible outputs, then choose the one you need.

    Set up the additional settings, if applicable (depending on the chosen format), for example, the video duration, and hit the "Convert" button.

  3. Save the converted file

    As soon as the file is converted, save it to your local storage, as the project will not be stored in the tool.

    If this service seems too simple for you, you can use our video maker to create a video clip with music, text, stickers, and other elements.
