Free AI Image to Video Generator with starter credits
This page is for users searching free AI image to video generator, AI image to video generator free, free image to video AI, image to video AI free, or free img2vid.

Works for more than personal photos
Use photos, product images, posters, anime frames, storyboard shots, PNG graphics, and concept images as the source for an AI video from image workflow.
Direct path into paid conversion
If the first free test proves useful, continue with credit packs or a subscription instead of leaving the image-to-video workflow.
Starter credit workflow
Use the free credits as a real two-step trial
The free entry is designed to help new users test one real image-to-video result, then come back for a second low-cost try instead of leaving after a single failed or unfinished generation.
1
Get 5 free credits
Create an account and start with enough credits for one real low-cost image-to-video trial.
2
Generate a 3-credit trial clip
Use Seedance 1.0 Pro Fast first so the first result proves the workflow without spending the whole balance.
3
Keep 2 credits
After the first trial, the remaining balance keeps the user close to a second generation instead of forcing an immediate purchase.
4
Check in tomorrow for +1 credit
Daily check-in adds 1 free credit, giving the user enough credits to create a second low-cost trial clip.
No unlimited-free claim. Free starter credits are a low-friction evaluation path before paid credits or a subscription.

Why this free generator page exists
Semrush shows that free image-to-video variants are easier entry points than the head term image to video. This page gives those users a truthful free-entry path while keeping the conversion path close to the live generator, pricing, prompt library, photo to video, and core image-to-video scenarios.
FAQ

Yes, new users can start with free starter credits. Continued generation requires paid credits or a subscription.

Yes. If your source is a real photo, this page can lead you into the photo to video workflow and the live generator after the free starter test.
Is free img2vid the same workflow?
Usually yes. Free img2vid searches often mean users want to upload a still image and test a short AI video generation workflow before paying.
Can I use product images, anime frames, or posters?
Yes. The workflow supports photos, product visuals, posters, anime keyframes, storyboard images, and other clear source pictures.
What happens after the starter credits?
