AI Video Generator
Turn any idea into a video — using simple text prompts or image start frames
Anything you can imagine.
As a video.
Get studio-quality video clips in seconds — then make unlimited edits
Generate and customize high-quality on-brand videos
With both Text to Video and Image to Video capabilities, anyone can create professional short-form ads and branded social content.
Ever created a video that looks nothing like your vision or burned through all your credits in one scene?
Kapwing's AI starts with a complete storyboard preview, so you can review and edit the shot list before generating — giving you complete control over style, output, and credit usage.
Build trust with human-realistic quality
Create AI videos with realism so authentic it’s nearly impossible to tell them apart from human-made creations.
Create single scenes with precise motion control or clips with multiple camera shots, then stitch them together to create lifelike marketing videos, trailers, or short-form sketches.
Unlock thousands of creative style variations
Use automatic prompt enhancements to instantly transform content into unique styles, from anime and Disney-inspired looks to retro 1980s aesthetics or classic black-and-white horror.
Or, simply bounce ideas with our AI Assistant to craft advanced prompts that capture the exact lighting, camera angles, movement, and atmosphere you or your team envisions.
