MiniMax
Spanda AI video generator
Animate a photo into video with native stereo audio. Up to 15 seconds, 480p to 1080p.
Free credits on signup, no card required. Plans from $19 one time.

Key features
Spanda turns a still image you upload into video inside Enhance AI. It produces clips from 3 to 15 seconds at a resolution you choose, 768p by default. Spanda is built by MiniMax. On Enhance AI it runs on the same account as every other model, with no separate subscription.
Clip length
Spanda renders clips from 3 to 15 seconds, and you pick the length before you render. Longer clips cost more because video is billed by length, so rough out an idea short and only render the full length once the shot works.
Resolution
Choose 480p, 540p, 768p or 1080p before you render. A lower resolution costs less, so test a prompt low and rerender the keeper at the top setting. The studio shows the price for the setting you picked before anything is charged.
Input modes
Spanda starts from a still image you upload. The first frame is locked to your image, so a product, a face or a location stays as you shot it, and the prompt only describes how the scene should move. Upload the sharpest source you have.

What people make with Spanda
Short social clips
Vertical clips for Reels, TikTok and Shorts are the most common job for Spanda. Write one clear scene per clip, keep the action simple so the motion reads on a phone, and render a few variations before you post. A short clip that lands is worth more than a long one that wanders.
Product shots
Give Spanda a product, the surface it sits on and one camera move, and it returns a short hero shot for a store page or an ad. Keep the prompt to what the camera sees. Start from a product photo so the packaging stays exact.
Storyboards and previs
Before a real shoot, block out the film with Spanda: one clip per beat, the same aspect ratio throughout, the same lighting notes in every prompt. Clients see the pacing and the camera moves instead of reading a script, and changing a beat costs one rerender rather than a reshoot.
Common questions
- What is Spanda?
- Spanda is a video generation model from MiniMax. It turns a still image into video: 15 second clips at 1080p. On Enhance AI it runs on the same account as 250+ other models, with no separate subscription.
- Can Spanda turn a photo into a video?
- Yes. Upload a still image, describe the movement you want, and Spanda animates it. The image is required: this model does not generate from a prompt alone.
- How long can a Spanda clip be?
- Spanda produces clips from 3 to 15 seconds. Longer runs cost more, because video is billed by length rather than by generation.
- What resolution does Spanda output?
- Spanda renders at a resolution you choose, 768p by default. You pick the resolution before you render, and a lower one costs less.
- Is Spanda free to try?
- Yes. Free credits on signup, no card required, so you can run Spanda before paying anything. Plans from $19 one time when you need more, and one account covers Spanda and 250+ other models.
- What does it cost to run Spanda?
- Video renders are billed from your wallet by clip length and resolution, so a short clip at a lower resolution costs less than a long one at full quality. You see the price before you render.
- Do I need a separate subscription for Spanda?
- No. Spanda runs on the same Enhance AI account as every other model, so you are not paying one provider for video and another for images.
