Quick answer
Text-to-video creates a clip entirely from a written description — the model invents the visuals. Image-to-video starts from a photo you provide and animates it, keeping your subject’s exact appearance. Use text-to-video for scenes that do not exist yet; use image-to-video when a specific person, product, or artwork must look exactly right in the result.
The trade-off is imagination versus control. Text-to-video can produce anything you can describe, but each generation reinterprets your words, so a specific face or product will drift between runs. Image-to-video locks the look and only generates the motion.
Many real projects chain both: generate a perfect keyframe with an image model, refine it, then animate it with image-to-video — getting text-to-video’s creative freedom with image-to-video’s consistency.
VdoBloom supports both modes across its models (Kling is image-to-video only on the platform; VEO 3.1, Wan, Seedance, and PixVerse handle both).
VdoBloom starts you with 10 free credits — enough to put this into practice with no card required.
