Upload a reference image for character & style, generate a still frame, then animate the same description into a looping GIF — the GIF is generated fresh, not your photo set in motion.
Generate a still frame first — then animate the same description into a GIF here.

The free demo covers the still frame from your reference — animating into a GIF needs credits, packs from $2.

No. GIF generation doesn't accept reference images — that's a limitation of the generation API. Your upload works as a character & style reference: a still frame is generated from it first, then a fresh GIF is generated from your description. The result resembles your reference through the prompt; the original pixels never move.
The still frame is your checkpoint. It shows how the model reads your reference and your description before you spend credits on the animation. Not happy? Adjust and regenerate the still — it's much cheaper than the GIF.
Up to 16 on the paid still tier — the free demo takes 2. The GIF step takes none: the animation is driven entirely by the description, which is why the prompt stays editable right up to the Animate button.
The still frame costs the same as any still image of its tier; the GIF costs about 1.4× the same-tier still price. Both buttons show the exact price before you press them.
No. Failed jobs are always refunded automatically — stills and GIFs alike.
Yes. After the still frame lands, the motion prompt stays editable — tweak the wording, then animate. The GIF is generated from that description, so precise motion wording is your main lever on the result.
GIF output is 1K (512px or 768px frames, 768 caps at 12). Still frames on this page are 1K as well — higher still resolutions live on the home playground.
Signed out, you can generate the still frame from your reference for free (2 per day, no account). Animating into a GIF needs credits — packs start at $2.
