#### Model Capabilities

# Image-to-Video

Transform a still image into a video by providing a source image along with your prompt. The model animates the image content based on your instructions.

You can provide the source image as:

* A **public URL** pointing to an image
* A **base64-encoded data URI** (e.g., `data:image/jpeg;base64,...`)

The demo below shows this in action; hold to animate a still image:

In the Vercel AI SDK, the `prompt` parameter accepts an object with `image` and `text` fields for image-to-video generation. The `image` field can be a URL string, base64-encoded string, `Uint8Array`, `ArrayBuffer`, or `Buffer`.
