The basics
What is an AI video generator?
An AI video generator, sometimes called an AI video maker, turns a text prompt or a still image into video. Instead of filming or animating by hand, you describe the shot or upload a picture and the model generates moving footage, from quick AI animation to cinematic shots. The two paths that matter most are text-to-video, where a prompt becomes a clip, and image-to-video, where an existing photo or frame starts to move.
Mage is a free-to-start AI image and video generator that does both, right in your browser. Generate a clip from a prompt, or bring a still to life with image-to-video, using Mage's exclusive video models. Video generation is unlimited on the Pro plan, with no per-clip credits to ration.
Because Mage is one platform for image and video, a character you build in an image can move in a video, and on the top tier you can drive movement with Motion Control. It is the full path from a prompt or a photo to a finished, downloadable clip.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What is the best AI video generator?
The best AI video generator comes down to how much you can generate, whether it handles both text-to-video and image-to-video, and cost. Mage is built for high-volume creators as an AI video maker with genuinely unlimited generation on our Pro and above plans, both input paths included, exclusive models, and no watermark, all in the browser from $30/month.
What is the best AI tool to turn an image into a video?
Mage does image-to-video: upload a photo or a still frame and it starts moving, with your choice of Mage video model. Because it is unlimited on our Pro and above plans, you can try a shot as many times as you need to get the motion right, rather than spending a credit on every attempt.
Can I make a video from just text?
Yes. Text-to-video turns a written prompt into a clip, no source image required. Describe the shot, pick a model, and generate. You can also start from an image when you want more control over the look.
Can I generate a full video from a script?
Yes. With text-to-video your script is the prompt: describe the scene or paste the lines you want, and Mage generates the footage. For a longer piece, generate it scene by scene and stitch the clips together. Mage creates generated video rather than a talking-head avatar reading your script aloud.
Can I make short videos for TikTok and Reels?
Yes, and short vertical clips are the most common use. Generate them from a prompt or by animating a photo, then download without a watermark. Clips run up to 5 seconds on Pro and Pro Plus and up to 10 seconds on Max, and can be extended or stitched into longer edits.
What is the best free AI video generator?
Mage is free to start with a one-time 300-Gem allocation and no watermark. Start via Gems or our Pro and above Unlimited plans: video generation is unlimited on Pro at $30/month, which is where most creators land once they are generating clips regularly.
How long can the videos be, and what resolution?
It depends on the plan: up to 480p and 5 seconds on Pro, up to 720p on Pro Plus, and up to 4K and 10 seconds on Max. You can extend and refine clips, and stitch them together for longer sequences.
Which video models does Mage use?
Mage exclusive video models include Peach, Cherry, Kiwi, Blueberry 2, Raspberry and Berry, alongside supported open models. Each has its own strengths for speed, quality and creative freedom.
Do I need to install anything or rent a GPU?
No. Mage runs in your browser, so there is nothing to install and no GPU to manage. You generate online and download the result.
Is there a watermark?
No. Your output is never watermarked, on the free plan or any paid plan.
Can I keep a character consistent across a video?
Yes. Image-to-video carries your saved character from a still into a clip with the same face. See the AI character generator for the full workflow.
Can I use the videos commercially?
Yes. All creations carry a commercial license, so the clips you generate are yours to use.
