Video
AI video generation
Describe a scene, or bring a still image to life, and generate short video clips with some of the most capable video models available. Create cinematic shots from text, turn a photo into motion. Because video is far more demanding to produce than text or images, generation is part of the Max plan, which includes a monthly allowance of video time plus simple top-ups when you need more. Draft quickly on faster models, then render final clips on premium models for the sharpest quality and synced audio. See the Pricing page for what's included, and start creating on Max.

Guide
What to expect from text to video
This category is deliberately focused. Text to Video is the one tool, and it does a single thing well, turning a written description into a short cinematic clip. You write what you want to see, the scene, the mood, the camera movement, and it generates a few seconds of moving footage from your words.
The way to get a good result is to think like a director rather than a search box. A vague line gives you a generic clip, so name the concrete things a camera would capture.
- Say what is in frame. A subject, a setting and a time of day beat a one-word prompt every time.
- Describe the motion. A slow push in, a drone pull-back or a character walking left to right gives the model something to animate towards.
- Set the look. Words like cinematic, handheld, golden hour or moody lighting steer the overall feel.
- Keep one clear idea per clip. Short generations hold together far better than a prompt trying to cram three scenes into a few seconds.
Where it earns its place is quick concepts, mood pieces, social snippets, an establishing shot or a visual you want to test before committing to a real shoot.
The honest limit is length and control. This is a short-clip tool, not an editing suite, so do not expect a minutes-long narrative, perfectly consistent characters across separate clips, synced dialogue or frame-exact direction. Fine details can shift or warp as the scene moves, and text on signs rarely comes out clean. Treat each clip as a single evocative shot rather than a finished film, and stitch several together in a proper editor if you need a longer piece.
Models: These tools route across leading text-to-video and image-to-video models, chosen automatically for your request. The exact model used is shown after every response.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Is there a free AI video generator with no sign up?
Yes. Describe a scene or upload a starting image and generate a short clip, no account needed. A progress indicator shows while it renders, and you can download the result when it is ready.
How long are the AI-generated video clips?
Most generations produce short clips, which is the standard for social and short-form content and also renders faster, so you can iterate quickly. Add a voiceover or music in your editor afterwards; the Text to Speech tool can generate narration.
Can I use AI video output commercially?
Generally yes, subject to the terms of the underlying model provider, which are shown after generation. Review those terms before any commercially significant use, and check the clip, since AI video can contain artifacts or drift.
Are the AI video tools free to use?
Yes, with tighter fair-use limits than the other tools, because video is the most compute-expensive thing the site makes. Spacing out generations keeps the queue fast for everyone.
Do I need to install anything to make AI video?
No. Everything runs in your browser on desktop or mobile. There is no app to download, no account to create and no card required to start.
Why are AI-generated video clips so short?
Every frame has to stay coherent with the ones around it, and the compute needed to keep a scene stable climbs steeply with length. Short clips are where current models hold detail and motion together reliably, which is why the tool produces a brief shot rather than a long sequence.
Can I keep the same character looking identical across several clips?
Not dependably yet. Each generation is a fresh interpretation of your words, so faces, clothing and colors tend to drift between clips even with near-identical prompts. For anything needing a consistent character, plan around single self-contained shots rather than a continuous story told across generations.
How is text to video different from an image generator that adds motion?
A text to video model generates the whole clip with motion and time built in, so it reasons about how a scene changes frame to frame. That is why prompts describing camera movement and action matter here, whereas an image tool only ever decides a single still moment.
