Free image to video AI October 2026

Free credits, watermarks and who may use the clip, read on the pages of 18 tools that turn a photo into a video. Runway, Pika, Luma and Grok list no free way to animate a photo.

Checked by hand on 16 October 2026, on each company’s own pages.1 of 114 have moved since, re-checked 23h ago.

The short answer

If you read nothing else, read this.

  • Free every day: Google Flow gives 50 credits a day (about 4 clips of 8 seconds at 720p, by our math), PixVerse 30 a day plus 60 to start, Leonardo 150 tokens a day. Vidu, Dreamina, Adobe Firefly and Meta AI give daily credits but do not say how many. Kling gives free credits but does not say how many or how often. invideo refills every Monday.
  • No watermark: Adobe Firefly says it adds none to any video. Google Flow always adds an invisible mark; the visible one is a switch you control, except in India, South Korea and Vietnam, where it is always on. Most others put a mark on free videos.
  • Free once: Hailuo gives new users welcome credits that expire after 3 days.
  • Nothing free for a photo to video: Runway's free plan lists images and voice, not video. Pika gives 0 credits a month, Luma has no free plan, Higgsfield gives no credits, Grok lists video on its $30 plan, Krea's free plan runs 0 video jobs, and Sora closed on April 26, 2026.
  • Free on your own computer: Wan 2.2 is open code. It turns an image into a 720p video on a graphics card with 24 GB of memory, and its makers claim no rights over what you make.

Questions

Which image to video AI is free?

11 of the 18 tools we checked. Google Flow gives 50 credits a day, PixVerse 30 a day, Leonardo 150 tokens a day. Vidu, Dreamina, Adobe Firefly and Meta AI give daily credits without saying how many, Kling gives free credits without saying how many or how often, and invideo refills every Monday. Hailuo gives welcome credits that last 3 days. Wan 2.2 is free code you run on your own computer.

Is there a free image to video AI with no watermark?

Yes. Adobe Firefly says it adds no watermark to any video. Google Flow always adds an invisible mark; the visible one is a switch you control, except in India, South Korea and Vietnam, where it is always on. Pika has no watermark either, but its free plan has 0 credits.

Can I turn a photo into a video with no sign-up?

No, not in practice. Adobe Firefly, Vidu, Hailuo and PixVerse give their free credits to an account you sign up for or log in to. Vidu's image to video page says "free no sign up", but its price page gives the credits when you register.

Is Kling image to video free?

Yes, with free credits, but Kling does not say how many or how often, and free videos have a watermark. 1080p and business use need a paid plan. Paid plans start at $6.99 for the first month, then $8.80 a month.

Is Grok image to video free?
