Sora 2 Image to Video — Animate Any Photo
OpenAI's Sora 2 in image-to-video mode. Upload any photo and describe how it should come alive. Strong at natural-looking motion, environmental animation, and subtle character movement.
Example Outputs & Prompts
Real outputs from the community — each with the exact prompt used.
Figure 1 vs Figure 2 Battle
"Figure 1 character battling Figure 2 character in the World Martial Arts Tournament" — upload your reference image and Sora 2 will animate your character into the scene.
Perfume MG Animation Ad
Based on the script from Image 1, generate advertising content for the perfume product in Image 2. The voiceover should reference a natural female voice speaking in English. Pay attention to the proportions of the perfume bottle, integrating it into the background with natural lighting. Avoid heavy texture overlay and cutout effects. The pace can be more brisk.
Beijing Apartment Cross-Section
A horizontal cross-section display shot of a high-rise residential building in Beijing's Taiyang Palace, with cinematic realism. The camera is locked, performing an absolutely steady horizontal side shift at a constant speed, as if the entire exterior wall of the building has been completely removed, presenting a clear cross-section. The frame sequentially reveals the living room spaces of five different families, each exhibiting distinct Beijing urban life characteristics.
Aurora Fizz Commercial
High-End Commercial Ad — AURORA FIZZ. [00:00-00:02] The AURORA FIZZ can blasts into frame from above, spinning rapidly. Sharp motion blur. The can halts with surgical precision at center frame. [00:02-00:04] The can separates into three horizontal segments. A crisp hiss escapes. Chilled vapor spills outward. Vibrant lemon and lime slices appear mid-air, accompanied by sparkling carbonation bubbles. [00:04-00:07] Time freezes — citrus slices slowly rotate in zero gravity while streams of bubbles rise through invisible liquid space. The camera glides in a smooth cinematic orbit. [00:07-00:10] The can snaps back together magnetically. A refreshing mist pulse radiates outward.
How to use it
Upload your image
Sora 2 is image-to-video only. Start with a clear, high-quality photo — portraits, landscapes, product shots all work well.
Describe the motion
Tell it how the image should move. "Camera slowly pulls back", "character turns their head", "leaves blow in wind" — be specific about what should animate.
Generate
Sora 2 produces a short video clip with natural-looking motion. Works best with photorealistic input images.
What it's good at
Natural motion
Strong at subtle, believable movement — wind in hair, gentle waves, breathing. Doesn't over-animate.
Environmental animation
Backgrounds come alive naturally. Weather effects, light changes, and ambient movement add depth without feeling artificial.
Character movement
Handles facial expressions and head movements cleanly. Good for animating portraits and character shots.
