How to make a 360 rotate video from a photo
- Upload a clear photo (JPG, PNG or WebP). A face or body that fills a good part of the frame works best.
- Pick the 360 rotate motion — the camera orbits the subject, and the shape: 9:16 for TikTok and Reels, 16:9 for YouTube, 1:1 for feeds.
- Tick the box confirming you have the right to use the photo, then press Make my video.
- Wait about a minute. Play it, download the MP4, or share a link.
How far does it rotate?
In 5 seconds the camera usually travels a smooth arc of roughly a quarter to half a turn around the subject. For a fuller turn, choose a 10-second video with credits. The AI invents the sides and back it cannot see in your photo, so they are plausible rather than exact.
- Best results: one subject in the middle, full body or upper body visible, plain or uncluttered background.
- Good for: fashion and outfit posts, pet reels, product showcases, character turnarounds.

Frequently asked questions
Is it really free?
Yes. You get 10 free credits every day — enough for 2 five-second videos — with no account and no card. Free videos are Standard quality with a small watermark. Credit packs start at $9.90 for 100 credits (valid 12 months, no subscription); Pro is $9.90/month for 120 credits.
Is it a true 3D model?
No. It is a video that looks like an orbiting camera. The unseen sides are generated, so use it for social clips, not for measurements.
Can I rotate a product photo?
Yes. A product on a plain background works very well. The default shape is 9:16; pick 1:1 for a shop listing.
Does it work with pets?
Yes — see the puppy example above. Pets that fill the frame give the clearest orbit.
How long does it take?
Most 5-second videos are ready in 40–90 seconds. 10-second and Max quality videos can take up to 3 minutes. You can keep using the page while it works.
What if the video fails or my photo is rejected?
Credits come back automatically. A photo that fails the safety check is rejected before any credit is spent, and a video that fails during generation is refunded in full.
