Do I need a last-frame image?
No. One first-frame image is required. Turn on Add End Frame only when you have a second image to guide how the clip ends.
Image to video
Seedance Image to Video Generator
Upload an opening image, describe the motion, and select Seedance 2.5 or 2.0. Add a last frame if you want to guide the ending. The generator below opens in Image to Video mode and shows its credit quote before submission.
Create a video from an image
The first-frame upload is ready below. Turn on Add End Frame for an optional second image, or use image URLs. Choose the model, length and resolution before submitting.
The small preview clips shown in the workspace are in-house illustrative motion studies, not verified output from the selected model.
How image to video works here
- 1
Add the first frame
Upload one opening image. To guide the final composition, enable Add End Frame and provide one more image. The form also accepts supported image URLs.
- 2
Direct the motion
Describe what changes between the frames: subject action, camera movement, pacing and sound. A motion prompt is helpful even when the starting image is detailed.

Check the quote and create
Select a supported model, duration and resolution. Review the live credit quote and your balance, then submit and track the job in your workspace.
Image-to-video settings in this workspace
These are the output limits checked by this site's generator. The Image to Video form uses one required opening image and one optional closing image on either model.
| Model | Output length | Resolution | Image inputs |
|---|---|---|---|
| Seedance 2.5 | 4–30 seconds | 480p / 720p / 1080p | First frame; optional last frame |
| Seedance 2.0 | 4–15 seconds | 480p / 720p / 1080p | First frame; optional last frame |
The larger media-reference counts advertised for the model belong to Multi Reference mode. This Image to Video form accepts one or two images, not video or audio reference files. Availability of specific combinations can vary by provider.
Five-second image-to-video credit costs
Credits for one 5-second output with an opening image, no reference video or audio, no draft and a batch of one. These values come from the same quote function as the generator.
| Resolution | Seedance 2.5 | Seedance 2.0 |
|---|---|---|
| 480p | 10 | 10 |
| 720p | 20 | 15 |
| 1080p | 45 | 30 |
An optional last-frame image does not change this base quote. Longer clips, drafts and other modes can change the cost; the generator shows the actual quote for your chosen settings before submission. Signing up does not guarantee free credits.
Image-to-video questions
Can I add a video or audio reference here?
Not in Image to Video mode. Switch the generator to Multi Reference to use supported video or audio files alongside image references; the quote and upload limits may differ.
Is image to video free?
You can read this guide and view the illustrative gallery without generation credits. Submitting a video job requires sufficient credits; this site does not guarantee a signup grant.
Gallery clips are made in-house to illustrate composition and camera movement. They have not been verified as outputs from Seedance 2.5 or 2.0 and are not evidence of a model comparison.
