Bring your still to life, exactly as shot
Animate a product photo, illustration, or portrait while keeping its exact character, style, and lighting intact.
An extension of your image, not a reinterpretation
MITO's reference system carries character, style, and lighting from your source image through the generation, so the output reads as an extension of the original asset rather than a reinterpretation of it.
What you get to do
Turn a product photo into a moving ad
Animate existing product photography into motion for ads, without a reshoot.
Animate a portrait or illustration, keeping the likeness
Bring a still to life while holding onto the exact character it's known for.
Extend a single reference into a full shot
Build one reference frame out into a complete, moving shot instead of a generic animation.
Image to Video FAQ
Image-to-video AI adds motion to a static image using a trained model. On MITO, you drop in your reference image, describe the motion you want, and generate directly on the canvas, with the model reading your image's character, style, and lighting.
Yes — MITO's reference system holds onto the character, style, and lighting of your source image through the generation, so the result reads as an extension of your existing photography, not a reinterpretation of it.
Animated directly, the result is a standalone clip. Animated on MITO, it sits in the same project as your other references and scenes, so the same source image can be reused consistently across multiple generations.
Supported formats and size limits vary slightly by model — check the specific model's page on MITO for its exact requirements.
Yes — because the reference travels with the project, you can reuse the same source image and its held character across more than one generation.
