How to use Animated image

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

Open Video ads. You’ll find it in the left-hand menu. Then, on the right, choose Explore all tools.

From there, click Animated image.

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.

Choose a reference from Zeely's library or upload your own. Pick the one that feels like the best fit for your product. For example, if you’re promoting socks, a food ad won’t be your best match.

Don’t want to use a reference? You can skip this step as Zeely will analyze your property and find the best option for you.
​

You’ll see a field where you can write your prompt. And if you feel like you need support in that wording game, just ask AI to do the work for you.

You can also use the AI Prompt Enhancer (click the pencil icon under the text), which improves and expands your prompt by adding more descriptive details to help generate better visuals.

Choose an AI model to be a creator. The video length depends on which model you pick: some create 5-second clips, while others go up to 10 seconds.
​

Below the prompt field, you'll see the model options for generating your start image. Click Create start image to continue.

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

Create your video. Like what you see? Click Generate video.

If you want to view the image in full size, just click on it.

In the pop-up, take a closer look at your video settings, such as the AI model for generation and the duration of the video. If it all looks good to you, click Create video.

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

To find it later, go to Projects in the left menu and select Videos.

✨ That’s it, your image is now alive as a video ad.
