Gemini Omni Image-to-Video: Image to Video Online
Bottom line
Turns one still into 4-10 seconds of motion at up to 4K — 720p and 1080p are priced the same. Upload a starting frame, choose Gemini Omni Image-to-Video in the Image to Video tool, and animate it on VdoBloom — the credit price appears before every generation.
Gemini Omni Image-to-Video takes a single starting image — a product photo, a portrait, an illustration — and extends it into motion while keeping the composition you already approved. It shares its base model and 4.7 rating with the text-to-video variant, but the workflow starts from a picture instead of a blank prompt, which matters for anyone whose strongest asset is already a still.
Duration runs 4, 6, 8, or 10 seconds, and quality goes up to 4K, with 720p and 1080p priced identically on VdoBloom — there's no cost reason to cap yourself at the lower tier. Framing is limited to 16:9 and 9:16, the two ratios that cover most delivery targets, so plan your source image's crop with that in mind.
Content filtering is STRICT — Google's provider-side rules apply to both the uploaded image and the accompanying prompt, so explicit or sensitive real-person material is likely to be rejected before generation starts. As with every VdoBloom model, the exact credit cost for your chosen duration and quality is shown before you confirm, and a failed render is refunded automatically rather than silently eating your credits.
What it costs on VdoBloom
Pricing follows duration and quality, identical to the text-to-video sibling: 36/48/60/72 credits for 4/6/8/10 seconds at 720p or 1080p, and 84/96/108/120 credits for the same durations at 4K. A quick 4-second 720p test to check how your image animates costs 36 credits; a finished 10-second 4K delivery costs 120.
Getting good results from a single image
Because the model only sees one frame, the prompt does all the work of describing what changes — camera movement, subject motion, environmental effects. Being specific about what should move ("the woman turns her head and smiles") versus what should stay static ("the background stays fixed") tends to produce more predictable results than a vague instruction. If a generation drifts away from your source image's composition, that's a general image-to-video limitation, not something unique to this model — re-running with a more constrained prompt or a cleaner source image is the practical fix, and since failed generations are refunded, iterating doesn't waste credits on outright failures.
What creators use Gemini Omni Image-to-Video for

- Bringing a portrait or archival photograph to life without reshooting anything.
- Turning a static illustration into a 9:16 motion piece for vertical social feeds.
- Extending a hero image into a 4-second looping teaser at 1080p.

Frequently asked questions
What does Gemini Omni Image-to-Video need as input?
One starting image plus a text prompt describing the motion. The model animates outward from that frame rather than generating a scene from scratch, and produces clips of 4, 6, 8, or 10 seconds.
What does it cost?
The same schedule as the text-to-video variant: 720p or 1080p run 36/48/60/72 credits for 4/6/8/10 seconds, and 4K runs 84/96/108/120 credits for the same durations. The cost is shown before you generate.
Is 1080p more expensive than 720p?
No — they're priced the same at every duration on VdoBloom. Only stepping up to 4K increases the cost, so there's no reason to default to 720p unless file size specifically matters to you.
Can I use it for free?
New accounts get 10 free credits at signup, which won't cover a full generation here on its own (the cheapest option is 36 credits), but it's usable toward exploring other models, and more credits come from referrals and challenges.
Can I make a square or 4:3 video from my image?
No — output is 16:9 or 9:16 only. If your source image is a different aspect ratio, expect the model to crop or pad it to fit; for square or 4:3 delivery, a different model in VdoBloom's catalog is the better fit.
What image content will get rejected?
The model carries a STRICT content label, meaning Google's filters apply to uploads as well as prompts. Explicit imagery and sensitive real-person content are likely to be refused at the provider level before any generation runs — VdoBloom doesn't loosen this.
How long can the animated clip be?
Four fixed options — 4, 6, 8, or 10 seconds — selected per generation rather than on a continuous slider.
What happens if the animation doesn't render?
VdoBloom refunds failed generations automatically, and the credit cost is always shown up front, so a failed attempt doesn't cost you credits.
