AVIF to MP4 API - Convert AVIF to MP4 API: Pricing, Documentation

by Pixazo

The AVIF to MP4 API turns an AVIF image into a short MP4 video clip with real, AI-generated motion — not a static re-wrap of the image. Point it at an image_url and choose a clip length, and the model animates the scene into a smooth H.264/AAC MP4 you can drop straight into social feeds, ads or stories. Because it generates genuine movement, a next-gen compressed still becomes a scroll-stopping video without ever opening an editor. Submit the request, poll until it completes, then download the clip. Prefer a no-code option? The same conversion is available free in your browser as the AVIF to MP4 Converter.

AVIF to MP4 generate request

Social platforms and ad slots demand video, not stills. The AVIF to MP4 API uses image-to-video generation to add real motion to your AVIF image and return a clean H.264/AAC MP4 of the length you choose — turning a single graphic into a moving video asset without an editor or timeline.

Endpoint: POST https://gateway.pixazo.ai/media-tools/v1/image-to-video

Request Code

curl -X POST 'https://gateway.pixazo.ai/media-tools/v1/image-to-video' \

  -d '{"image_url":"https://example.com/input.avif","duration_seconds":5}'

  "request_id": "req_9f3c1a7b2e",
  "status": "QUEUED",
  "polling_url": "https://gateway.pixazo.ai/v2/requests/status/req_9f3c1a7b2e"
}

Webhook (Optional)

Instead of polling, include a webhook_url in the request body and Pixazo will POST the completed job payload to that URL when the conversion finishes. The webhook body is identical to the completed-status response shown under Retrieving Results.
