Timelapse Image to Video Generator
Turn any image into a timelapse video with the Timelapse AI Video Generator. Upload a photo, and your image becomes the first frame of a fast hyperlapse that compresses hours, a whole day, or many days into about 10 seconds, with clouds racing across the sky, the sun setting, shadows sweeping across the ground, and the lights coming on.
Describe the timelapse you want, like a sunset, day turning to night, four seasons, or a flower blooming, or leave it blank and the AI picks the most natural change for your scene. The camera stays locked off, and everything that should stay fixed, like buildings, mountains, and rooms, stays exactly where it is. If you'd rather speed up footage you filmed yourself, see how to make a timelapse video in the Kapwing Studio.
