Image to video
Your photo, four seconds later.
Upload an image, describe the motion, and the studio animates it - Seedance 2.0 for overall quality, Kling for hi-fi motion, Hailuo for character energy, or the uncensored Wan variants when mainstream models refuse the source. First/last-frame control included for precise moves.

Why image-to-video gets refused
The strictest moderation in AI is pointed at your uploads.
Image-to-video is where hosted tools moderate hardest - the input image and the output frames both get reviewed, and anything with skin, real people, or edgy aesthetics trips the classifier. Your own photos become the thing you're not allowed to animate.
“This image violates our policy”
Portraits, art, fashion shots - upload moderation bounces ordinary source material, and every tool draws the line somewhere different and invisible.
Your uploads, their archive
The images you feed a hosted animator sit on someone's servers, attached to your account, governed by terms you didn't read.
The questions people actually bring here
Here's how OpenGradient is different
Animate on your terms
Frame-level control
Set the first frame, optionally pin the last frame, and chain clips into longer moves - supported models are marked in the picker.
An uncensored lane
Wan image-to-video variants (including the Spicy line, 18+ gated) run without provider-side prompt moderation - for the legal briefs mainstream tools refuse.
Private uploads
The anonymity layer separates you from your generations, and share links expire after 24 hours.

Questions, answered
Frequently asked
- Which model should I pick?
- Seedance 2.0 is the best-overall default. Kling 2.5 Turbo excels at high-fidelity motion, Hailuo 02 at expressive characters. The Wan variants are the unrestricted lane. Prices per clip are shown on each - auditioning two models on the same image costs cents.
- What resolution and length can I get?
- Model-dependent - up to 1080p output with durations typically 4-12 seconds per clip, extendable by chaining with last-frame control. Upscaling to 2x/4x is built into the studio for delivery.
- What are the rules for people in photos?
- Animating yourself, consenting subjects, or fictional/artistic characters is fine. Sexual content depicting real people without their consent is prohibited, full stop - the 18+ gate does not change that.

Unrestricted means no provider-side prompt moderation on the open models - not no rules. Illegal content is banned, explicit capabilities are gated 18+, and sexual content depicting real people without their consent is prohibited.
