Want to turn a simple picture into a moving story? With Zeely’s Image to video feature, you can do it in minutes. Think of it as giving your product photo a little stage time. There’s only your product showing up in the best way, with no one talking and no music in the background. We’ll add the motion, you bring the spark.

Here’s how to do it:

  1. Log in into your Zeely account: https://app.zeely.ai

  2. Open Video Studio. You’ll find it in the left-hand menu. Then, on the right, choose Image to video.

  3. Pick your product image. Choose one from your library or upload a new one. When you feel like it’s ready to become your ad, click Continue.

    ✨ Zeely note: You’ll notice a small tip panel on the right with examples of what images work best.

  4. Edit or confirm the prompt. In Creator’s mode, you’ll see an automatically generated prompt describing your image. You can edit it to match your vision or turn on AI prompt enhancer if you want AI to fine-tune your description.
    Below the prompt field, you’ll find options to choose an AI model for your image generation.

  5. Choose a style. On the left, pick a look: Lifestyle, Studio scene, On-model, Unboxing, Floating hero, or Position shift. Then click Create start image.

    Wait a moment. Zeely takes about 40 seconds to prepare your image, which is just enough time for a quick screen break.

  6. Generate your video. Like what you see? Click Generate AI clip.

  8. Watch and save. In about three minutes, your video will be ready. Preview it, download it, or delete it.

  9. To find it later, go to Projects in the left menu and select Product shots.

✨ That’s it, your image is now alive as a video ad. Next up: How to create a marketing video ad.
