Does Nano Banana generate video directly?

No — Nano Banana is the Nano AI image model family, which creates still images. Videos are made by taking a Nano AI image or prompt and animating it with a video model such as Veo 3.1, Kling 3.0, Seedance 2.5, Hailuo 2.3 or Grok Imagine.

How do I turn a Nano AI image into a video?

Generate or open your image, then use Generate Video to hand it to the video generator — or upload the image there directly, pick a video model and describe the motion.

Which video model should I choose?

Grok Imagine is a flexible default. Veo 3.1 and Seedance 2.5 suit text-driven clips, Kling 3.0 supports optional sound, and Hailuo 2.3 is built for image-to-video.

Can I make a video from text alone?

Yes — most video models accept a text prompt without a source image. Starting from a Nano AI image simply gives you more control over how the clip looks.

Do I need an account to generate video?

Yes, sign in to generate. New accounts receive free credits, so you can try the image-to-video workflow before buying more.

What makes a good motion prompt?

Describe the camera and the action rather than the look of the scene — the image already carries the visuals. Short directions like "slow push-in, hair moving in the wind" work well.

Image to video workflow

Nano Banana models create images; video models set them in motion. Three steps from a still to a clip:

Generate the image

Create a still with Nano AI 2 on the Nano AI 2 page or in the dashboard — or pick an image you already have.

Hand it to the video tool

Click Generate Video on your image result, or upload the image directly inside the video generator.

Prompt the motion

Choose a video model, describe the camera move and action you want, then generate the clip.

Pick a video model

Five video models can animate Nano AI images and prompts. Switch between them inside the generator — one line each on what they do:

Grok Imagine

Text-to-video with five aspect ratios — a flexible default for quick clips.

Veo 3.1

Text-to-video in 16:9, 9:16 or auto framing.

Kling 3.0

5- or 10-second clips in 16:9, 9:16 or 1:1, with optional sound.

Seedance 2.5

Clips from 1 to 30 seconds at 480p or 720p, with flexible aspect ratios.

Hailuo 2.3

Image-to-video in 6- or 10-second clips, up to 1080P.

What you can make

Start from a Nano AI image — or a motion prompt alone — and generate short clips for:

Product videos

Animate a product shot into a short showcase clip for ads and social posts.

Portraits in motion

Turn a generated portrait into a cinematic moment with subtle natural movement.

Storyboard tests

Preview how a scene feels in motion before committing to a bigger production.

Social loops

Make short, loopable clips and mood pieces from your favorite Nano AI images.
