Phoenix Motion · image to video

Give any image
five seconds of motion.

Drop in a picture, say what should happen, and get a short video back, sound included. Logos, concept art, product shots, portraits, paintings, screenshots. If it's a still, it can move.

From $0.59 a clip, paid from a balance. No subscription, no watermark.

Our own logo, one prompt, first take. Unmute it: the fire is part of the clip.
Pay per clip. Top up once, spend it clip by clip. The balance doesn't expire.
Few rules. Action, horror, the weird stuff. The one thing we don't make is sexual content.
It's yours. No watermark. Use your clips however you like, commercially too.

One image, one sentence

Each of these started as a single still and the prompt under it. No editing afterwards, and each is the first take. The sound came out of the same pass as the picture.

“The phoenix beats its wings and bursts into flame. Fire ripples along its feathers and glowing embers drift upward into the darkness. Static camera. The roar and crackle of fire.”
“Slow cinematic push-in toward the house. The tree's branches sway in the wind and clouds drift across the sky. Wind through dry grass.”
“The woman turns her head slightly toward the camera and smiles, her hair moving in a light breeze. Handheld camera, natural light. Soft wind and distant birdsong.”
Loop: “The phoenix logo stays completely still. Only glowing embers drift slowly upward around it and its edges shimmer with heat.” Everything else holds still, and the clip ends where it starts.

Stills: the Phoenix Labs logo, and frames from Color Harmony and Texas Farm Family (public domain, Prelinger Archives).

Say what should happen

What moves, how, and what the camera does. "Slow push-in, wind in her hair, she turns to the camera" beats "make it cinematic".

Why a balance and not a charge per clip

You rarely keep the first take. A card payment per 59-cent clip would cost more in fees than the clip itself, so you add money once and spend it clip by clip. It's plain dollars at the prices on this page. Unused balance can be refunded on request.

No login

Your balance lives behind a private wallet key that your browser keeps. Every top-up receipt has a link back to it, so you can pick it up on another device or after clearing your browser.

What you can make

Almost anything. Fight scenes, monsters, fantasy, dark and strange ideas, parody. We don't police taste, and we don't water down prompts behind your back.

No sexual or nude content

Our payment provider doesn't allow sexual content for any business it works with, and breaking that rule would stop every Phoenix product from selling. Prompts and images that ask for it are refused before you're charged.

Nothing illegal

And nothing sexual or suggestive involving a child, ever. You need the right to use the image you upload, and you're responsible for what you do with the clip. Each clip's file notes that it's AI-generated.

Questions

How long does a clip take?

Usually well under a minute. The first clip after a quiet spell takes a minute or two longer while a GPU loads the model.

How long are the clips?

Five seconds at 24 frames per second, with sound made in the same pass as the picture. Tick "Make it a loop" and the clip ends where it starts, ready to repeat forever.

Can I use the clips commercially?

Yes, within the rules on this page. Phoenix Motion runs LTX-2.5, an open video model from Lightricks, whose licence claims no rights in what you make with it.

Do you keep my images?

No. Your image is deleted as soon as the clip is made, and finished clips are deleted after two days. Download the ones you want to keep.

What if I don't like a clip?

Make another take with a sharper prompt. A clip that fails or gets refused costs nothing, but a clip that was made used real GPU time, so we can't refund it because it wasn't the one you pictured.

What's a wallet key?

A private code that stands for your balance, so there's no account or password. Your browser keeps it, and your top-up receipt links back to it. Anyone with the key can spend the balance, so don't share it.

Can an AI assistant make clips for me?

Yes. In the app, click your balance, then Agent keys, and make a key with a spending limit. Connect your assistant to our MCP server with it, and it can make clips from your balance up to that limit. Setup for Claude, Cursor and others.
