Frequently Asked Questions
Is Kapwing's Image to Video Converter free?
Yes, Kapwing's Image to Video Converter is free to try for all users without a watermark. For access to all tools, animations, and stock media, upgrade to a pro account and unlock the full power of the studio.
How many images do I need to create a video slideshow?
You can start a video slideshow with as few as two images. There’s no limit, so you can upload as many photos as you’d like to build the slideshow that works best for your project.
How to add audio to an image
Add audio by uploading a music file or recording directly in the editor. Once added, your image or slideshow automatically converts into a video, which you can export as-is or enhance with text, motion, and other elements.
Can I convert a single photo into a video?
Yes, you can upload one image and turn it into a video by adding background music, text, and motion effects.
What video formats can I export in?
Upload images in JPG, PNG, WebP, any other formats. Export your converted photo to video as an MP4, MOV, WebM, or GIF file.
How do I add text or captions to my video?
Access preset text styles from the "Text" menu before customizing to your liking using the editing tools to refine the font, color, outline, and more. Alternatively, you can simply ask Kai to add text to your video.
What’s the best length for an image to video slideshow?
The ideal length depends on where you plan to share it. For social media, videos between 15 and 60 seconds typically perform best. For personal or professional projects, focus on pacing that feels natural for your content rather than a set duration.
What is Kai?
Kai is Kapwing's AI Assistant, built to streamline video and image generation and editing. You can ask Kai to create content from scratch or upload media and request specific edits. The 'Custom Kai' section lets you quickly tap into trending AI formats without needing a prompt. Likewise, you can create your own reusable Custom Kai for future projects.
Kapwing is free to use for teams of any size. We also offer paid plans with additional features, storage, and support.
