# Images to Video

> Create videos from multiple images by combining them into a cohesive sequence.

## Overview

Images-to-Video allows you to create video content by combining multiple images into a single video sequence. Perfect for slideshows, transitions, storytelling, or creating videos from image sequences.

## How It Works

Upload multiple images and Zoice will combine them into a video, with options for transitions, timing, and effects. You can also add AI-generated transitions and motion between images.

## Quick Start
