What is Slow zoom and what does it do?

Slow zoom is an AI photo-to-video tool that creates a cinematic zoom-in or zoom-out animation from a single image. You control direction, speed, and framing, then export a smooth video clip.

How is this different from the Ken Burns effect?

It delivers a Ken Burns-style slow zoom with AI-guided motion planning and easier controls. Instead of manual keyframes, you set the focal area and timing, then generate a consistent, polished result.

What images work best for an AI slow zoom effect?

High-resolution photos with a clear subject and good contrast work best. Avoid heavy blur or tiny subjects. Centering your focal point and leaving some background space helps the zoom feel smooth and natural.

Can I control zoom speed and direction?

Yes. Choose zoom in or zoom out, set duration and pacing, and adjust the focal point to guide the camera movement. Preview the motion to ensure it matches your intended mood.

What can I export and where can I use it?

Export a video clip you can post to social platforms, add to slideshows, or place on an editing timeline. It’s ideal for reels, ads, product showcases, and animated photo galleries.
