Sora 2 Image to Video
Sora 2 image to video is OpenAI's standard tier for animating a still photo, available in FluxoKit's browser studio without an OpenAI account. It turns one frame into a motion clip with synchronized audio and costs 95 credits for the default 8 second 720p clip on plans starting at $14 per month.

Overview
Sora 2 image to video is the standard tier of OpenAI's video model: hand it one still and it returns a clip with motion and native audio, at a third of the flagship's cost. FluxoKit runs it in the browser with credit pricing and no OpenAI account, so animating a photo with Sora 2 is a documented, per-clip-costed action rather than a waitlist.
The canvas chain is the point. Generate the still with GPT Image 2 or Seedream 5 one node back, then animate it here in the same studio. The showcase clips on this page are being produced in the video wave and will animate those locked persona stills; documented and live today are the single-frame contract, the duration and resolution tiers, and the 95-credit default clip.
What Sora image to video animates best
Sora 2 is the volume tier for photo animation with sound: give a product shot subtle motion, make a portrait come alive, add ambient audio to a scene, all from a single still. It shares the flagship's audio-native rendering at a price that suits testing many stills before committing one to the Pro tier.
Best results come from a clean input frame, which is where the canvas chain pays off: a sharp GPT Image 2 or Seedream 5 still gives Sora 2 more to work with, and the whole loop stays in one FluxoKit history with each step costed.
Where Sora 2 image to video earns its credits
Content and social teams use Sora 2 to animate stills into short clips with sound for feeds and ads without an edit suite. At 95 credits for the default 8 second 720p clip, a batch of ten tests costs 950 credits and every generation shows its exact cost in your history, so the economics of animating wide before finishing narrow stay visible.
Sora 2 image to video vs Sora 2 Pro, Veo 3.1, and Seedance 2.0
Pro is the finishing tier at 283 credits with the strongest motion and audio. Sora 2 is the volume tier at 95; the input contract is identical, so drafts transfer straight up.
Veo 3.1 is audio-native too and adds first and last frame control. Sora 2 is cheaper for straight single-frame animation; Veo wins when you need to keyframe the ending.
Seedance 2.0 animates at 91 credits with directable camera moves but silent motion. Pick Sora 2 when the clip needs sound baked in.

Frequently asked questions
›How much does Sora 2 image to video cost per clip?
Sora 2 costs 95 credits for the default 8 second 720p clip on FluxoKit, with shorter durations costing less. Plans start at $14 per month and every generation shows its exact credit cost in your history.
›Does Sora 2 image to video include audio?
Yes. Sora 2 renders synchronized audio in the same pass as the motion, which most image to video models do not. That native sound is the reason to reach for it over silent animators at similar prices.
›Sora 2 or Sora 2 Pro for animating a photo?
Both take a single still and add audio. Sora 2 at 95 credits is the volume tier for testing many stills; Sora 2 Pro at 283 is the finishing tier with stronger motion. Draft on Sora 2, commit the winner to Pro.
