Sora 2 Image-to-Video Generator

What it is

A Sora 2 image-to-video generator animates a single still image into a short video clip using OpenAI's Sora 2 model, with motion direction guided by an optional text prompt. Best for animating photos with complex scene content โ€” product shots, location stills, narrative frames.

Features

  • โœ“Sora 2 motion from any photo

    Upload JPG/PNG/WEBP and Sora animates the subject and background with believable parallax and lighting.

  • โœ“Prompt-controlled camera moves

    Specify "camera pushes in, subject turns left" โ€” Sora 2 follows directional language better than most peers.

  • โœ“Long-take support

    Up to 20 seconds per generation โ€” long enough for hook-to-payoff narrative beats from a single still.

  • โœ“Multi-subject preservation

    When the input has multiple people or objects, Sora 2 keeps each one coherent across frames.

Best for

  • โ†’Animating product photography for ecommerce
  • โ†’Bringing location stills into a moving establishing shot
  • โ†’Turning a single hero portrait into a long-take talking moment
  • โ†’Pre-vis from a storyboard frame

Pro tips

1.Pre-process the source through Mobbi's image enhancer first โ€” sharper input always produces sharper Sora animation.
2.Crop input to the target aspect ratio before generating. Sora 2 will respect framing but doesn't love letterboxing.
3.For identity-critical work (specific person), run Mobbi face swap on the output to lock identity if Sora drifts.
4.Avoid motion prompts that contradict the source โ€” saying "subject runs" on a static seated photo gives weak results.

FAQ

Does Sora 2 preserve faces from the input photo?+

Mostly yes, but for identity-critical work pair with Mobbi's video face swap as a post-step to lock the face.

What file formats can I upload?+

JPG, PNG, and WEBP up to 8 MB. Higher source resolution gives better output up to 1080p.
