Open-source image-to-video AI model from Stability AI
Stable Video Diffusion (SVD) is Stability AI's open-source model for turning still images into short video clips. It builds on the Stable Diffusion architecture and produces smooth motion from a single reference image. Two output modes are available: SVD generates 14-frame clips and SVD-XT generates 25-frame clips, at resolutions up to 1024x576. Because the weights are fully public, you can run it locally, fine-tune it for a specific subject or style, and slot it into a custom pipeline. It works with ComfyUI, Automatic1111, and other popular interfaces. A wide community has built LoRAs and extensions on top of it. The main constraints are practical: you need a GPU with at least 12GB VRAM, the outputs top out at around 4 seconds, and there is no text-to-video mode — only image-to-video.
Developers, researchers, and AI hobbyists who want a free, self-hosted image-to-video model they can fully customize.
Anyone without a capable GPU, non-technical users, or anyone who needs text-to-video output.
