PNG to MP4 API - Convert PNG to MP4 API: Pricing, Documentation
by Pixazo
The PNG to MP4 API wraps a still PNG in a standards-compliant MP4 container. It is deterministic, not generative: the graphic is held on screen, unchanged, for as long as you ask, and the result is a silent H.264 video. Reach for it when something downstream refuses a still image — a feed that only accepts video uploads, an editing timeline that needs a slate, a signage player driven by a video playlist. Send an image_url and a duration, poll the job, download the MP4. Prefer a no-code option? The same conversion is available free in your browser as the PNG to MP4 Converter.

Authentication
Every request is authenticated with your Pixazo API key in the Ocp-Apim-Subscription-Key header — the same key across every Pixazo endpoint.
| Header | Required | Value |
|---|---|---|
Ocp-Apim-Subscription-Key | Yes | Your Pixazo API key |
PNG to MP4 generate request
PNG is the format of choice for logos, screenshots, charts and UI exports, and none of those can be handed to a system that only takes video. The PNG to MP4 API turns one into the other with a single call: your PNG is held for the duration you choose and encoded as a silent H.264/yuv420p MP4 with even dimensions, downscaled to fit within 1920x1920 if it is larger and never upscaled if it is smaller. Because H.264 4:2:0 has no alpha channel, a transparent PNG is flattened in the process — composite it over your intended background first if that matters. Nothing moves and no model runs; it is a container change, priced flat at $0.002 per clip.
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' \
-H 'Ocp-Apim-Subscription-Key: YOUR_API_KEY' \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-d '{"image_url":"https://example.com/input.png","duration_seconds":5}'Output
{
"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.
Request Parameters
| Parameter | Required | Type | Default | Allowed | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
image_url | Required | string | — | HTTP(S) URL | Publicly reachable URL of the source still. jpg, png, webp, avif, heic, tiff, bmp, gif and SVG are accepted; the source must be under 50 megapixels. |
duration_seconds | Optional | number | 5 | 1 – 60 | How long the still is held on screen, in seconds. Does not affect the price. |
webhook_url | Optional | string | — | HTTP(S) URL | Receive the completed job via webhook instead of polling. |
Example Request
curl -X POST 'https://gateway.pixazo.ai/media-tools/v1/image-to-video' \
-H 'Ocp-Apim-Subscription-Key: YOUR_API_KEY' \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-d '{"image_url":"https://example.com/input.png","duration_seconds":5}'Response
Every request returns a request_id immediately with a QUEUED status. Use the polling_url (or a webhook) to retrieve the finished file.

Response Handling
The submit call returns one of the HTTP status codes below. A 202 means the job was accepted — everything else is an error you should handle.
| Code | Meaning |
|---|---|
| 202 | Accepted — the job was queued; poll the status URL. |
| 400 | Bad request — a parameter is missing or invalid. |
| 401 | Unauthorized — missing or wrong API key. |
| 402 | Payment required — insufficient balance. |
| 429 | Too many requests — you are being rate-limited. |
| 500 | Server error — transient; retry with backoff. |
Error Responses
Errors return a JSON body with a machine-readable code and a human-readable message.

"error": {
"code": "INSUFFICIENT_BALANCE",
"message": "Your account balance is too low to process this request."

⚡ Performance
Live usage measured on Pixazo's gateway, split by model version. Generation time is how long a generation takes end-to-end (lower is better). Success rate is the percent of generations that complete (higher is better).
〰 Uptime
Percent of generations that succeeded over the selected period, per model version.
