Can I turn several photos into one video?

Yes. Add up to 30 photos, put them in order with the arrows, and choose how many seconds each one stays on screen (1 to 10). Mixed motion gives each photo a different move so a long slideshow does not feel repetitive, and the crossfade blends one into the next.

Are my photos uploaded anywhere?

No. The photos and the music are decoded and encoded inside your browser tab using WebCodecs. Nothing is sent to Faceless or anyone else, which is also why there is no queue and no daily limit.

Does this make the people in my photo move?

No, and it is worth knowing the difference. This tool moves the camera over your photo: zooms, pans and dissolves, the Ken Burns effect documentaries use. AI image-to-video models instead invent motion inside the picture (hair in the wind, a head turning), which takes a GPU and usually costs credits on any site. Faceless uses those models inside its paid video formats; this free tool does not.

What size should an image to video be for Instagram Reels and TikTok?

1080 by 1920 pixels, the 9:16 frame, which is the tool's default. For the Instagram or Facebook feed use 4:5 (1080 by 1350). If your photo is a different shape, Fill crops it to cover the frame and Fit shows the whole photo over a blurred copy of itself.

Yes. Add an MP3, M4A, WAV or OGG and it is cut to the video's length, or looped if it is shorter, with a fade at the end. For TikTok and Reels you can also post the video silent and pick a sound inside the app, which gives you its licensed music library.

Why does it say my browser cannot encode video?

The tool needs WebCodecs, which Chrome, Edge, Brave and Opera have on desktop and Android, and Safari has from version 17. Firefox on desktop works in recent versions. On an older iPhone, update iOS or use a laptop.

Can a photo video be made and posted for me every day?

Yes. A Faceless Single Fade-in Video series picks an aesthetic photo for your niche, writes the caption, adds the music and posts a new video to TikTok, Instagram, YouTube and more on your schedule, for 5 credits a post. Plans start at $29 a month.

How to turn an image into a video

One photo: drop it in, pick Zoom in, set it to 5 to 8 seconds, and add a line of text if the photo needs context. That is the format behind most single-image Reels: a still that moves just enough to read as video in the feed.

Several photos: drop them all at once, put the strongest one first (it is the only frame most people decide on), leave Mixed motion and Crossfade on, and give each photo 2 to 3 seconds. Add a song and you have a photo reel.

Press Make the video and the browser draws every frame at 30 fps and encodes an H.264 MP4, the format every platform takes. A 20 second reel takes a few seconds on a laptop. Need the clip at another shape later? Run it through the video resizer.

Which motion to pick

Motion	What it does	Use it for
Mixed	Zoom in, pan, zoom out, pan back: a different move on every photo, like a reel editor would cut it	Travel dumps, recaps, anything with five or more photos
Zoom in	A slow push into every photo. Draws the eye to the middle of the frame	A single photo with one subject: a face, a product, a dish
Zoom out	Starts close and pulls back to reveal the whole photo	Reveals: a before and after, a view, a finished room
Pan	Slides across the photo, left then right. Best for wide shots in a vertical frame	Landscapes, group shots and wide photos in a vertical frame
Still	No camera move: a plain photo slideshow	Quotes and text-heavy images, where moving would blur the words

The moves are deliberately slow: a 15% zoom over the photo's time on screen, eased at both ends. Faster reads as a glitch on a phone, and faces start to swim. Fit mode keeps the whole photo and fills the rest of the frame with a blurred copy of it, the fix for a landscape photo in a vertical video.

Settings for each platform

Platform	Frame	Seconds per photo	Length	Notes
Instagram Reels	9:16	2 to 3 s	Up to 3 min	Keep a caption out of the bottom third; the app's buttons and text cover it
TikTok	9:16	1.5 to 3 s	Up to 10 min	Add the sound inside TikTok to use its music library
YouTube Shorts	9:16	2 to 4 s	Up to 3 min	Vertical and under 3 minutes is what makes it a Short
Instagram and Facebook feed	4:5	3 to 4 s	Up to 60 min	4:5 takes the most feed height a post can
YouTube, X, LinkedIn	16:9 or 1:1	4 to 6 s	Minutes, not seconds	Slower moves read better on a big screen

Ways to make a photo into a video

"Image to video" means two different jobs. Moving a camera over a photo is cheap, instant and faithful to the picture: this page does it free. Making the picture itself move needs an AI model on a GPU, and every site that offers it charges credits for it. Pick by what you need, not by the name.

Option	Cost	Uploads your photos	Watermark	What it does	Best for
This page	Free	No	None	Camera moves over your photos, text, music	Photo reels and slideshows you post today
Phone apps (CapCut, InShot)	Free with in-app upsells	Depends on the app	On some templates	Templates, beat sync, effects	Editing on the phone you shot on
Online editors (Canva, Kapwing)	Free tier, paid exports	Yes	Check the free export	Full timeline editing	Teams already working in that editor
AI image-to-video models	Credits per clip	Yes	Varies	Invents motion inside the picture	Making a still look like real footage
A Faceless series	5 credits a post	No, it picks the photos	None	New photo, caption and music every day, auto-posted	Running a channel without making each video

When something goes wrong

An iPhone photo will not load

HEIC is not readable by most browsers. Share it as JPEG (Photos, share sheet, Options, Most Compatible), or take a screenshot of it. JPEG, PNG, WebP and GIF all work.

The photo looks cropped

Fill crops to cover the frame. Switch to Fit to keep the whole photo with a blurred backdrop, or pick the frame closest to the photo's own shape.

The text sits under the app's buttons

Use Top or Middle in a 9:16 frame. The bottom third is where Reels and TikTok put the caption and the buttons; check yours with the safe zone checker linked below.

The song will not load

Browsers do not decode WMA, and some DRM-protected downloads refuse. Convert to MP3 or M4A first, or post silent and add a sound inside the app.

Want a full video from an idea instead, with a voiceover and visuals made for every line? That is a one-off Faceless video.

Frequently asked questions

Photos, motion, sizes and what happens to your files

Drop the photo into the tool at the top of this page, pick a motion (a slow zoom or a pan), a frame (9:16, 1:1, 4:5 or 16:9) and how long it should run, then press Make the video. The MP4 is made by your own browser and downloads straight to your device. No upload, no account, no watermark, and it works the same with up to 30 photos.
