AI Flyer Video Maker: Turn a Flyer Into a Short Video

An AI flyer video maker turns a still flyer into a short clip: confetti drifts, lights glow or the camera pushes in slowly while the words stay put. In Toybox AI, the flyer comes from Flyer Maker (or any flyer image you have the rights to), and the motion comes from Video Creator. Video Creator is a Pro plan tool, and each clip lasts 4 to 10 seconds.

What you can make with an AI flyer video maker

A motion flyer (also called an animated flyer) is a flyer design with a few seconds of movement, posted as a video instead of a still image. Video Creator works as an AI motion flyer maker from the image you give it, so the flyer's words and layout come from Flyer Maker or your own design. These flyers suit a few seconds of movement:

• Party and club nights. A slow light sweep and drifting confetti over the date, sized for Stories. The party flyer ideas page has headline wording for the still version.
• Event and concert posters for Reels. A poster from the AI poster maker with a slow push in toward the headline, or stage lights moving behind the lineup. The same steps work as an AI poster video maker for a movie night or a school play.
• Restaurant specials. Steam rising from the dish in the photo, with the motion kept away from the price.
• Seasonal sales. Snow or leaves falling in front of a still offer, for the weeks before a holiday.
• Grand openings. Balloons drifting up past the opening date.

Flyer to video AI tools animate an image you already have. To bring other stills to life (a product, a portrait, a landscape), see image to video AI.

Match the flyer's shape to the video

Video Creator's Format choices are Vertical (9:16) and Wide (16:9), while Flyer Maker's sizes are Portrait (4:5), Tall (3:4) and Wide (5:4), so no flyer comes out in a video shape. Toybox doesn't crop your start image to fit, so the framing is most predictable when the flyer already has the video's shape.

Smart Editor is also a Pro tool, so anyone with Video Creator can use it; a reshape is currently 85 credits at HD. The AI rebuilds the flyer to fill the new frame and chooses how to rearrange it, so read the reshaped version line by line before animating it. For a new vertical design with a few words on it, Image Generator also has a Story (9:16) size; check its lettering the same way.

Tips for motion that keeps the text readable

1. Say what stays still first. Open the prompt with "Keep all text and the layout of the flyer still and sharp", then describe only what moves. Nothing in Video Creator locks the letters in place, so watch every clip before you post it.
2. Pick one small motion. Drifting confetti, a soft glow on string lights, steam, falling snow, or a slow push in. Skip spins and fast zooms, which move the text itself.
3. Describe the camera in film terms. Google's Veo 3.1 prompting guide suggests a five-part prompt that opens with the camera work, then names the subject, the action, the setting and the look. It lists moves such as dolly, tracking and crane shots and a slow pan. For a flyer, "static camera" or "very slow push in" keeps the frame steady.
4. Leave out strobe and rapid flashing. W3C's accessibility guideline 2.3.1 allows no more than three flashes in any one-second period (unless the flashes stay below its brightness thresholds), because flashing can trigger seizures. On a club flyer, ask for "a slow, gentle glow" instead of "strobe lights".
5. Land on the clean flyer. Add the same flyer as the end frame so the clip finishes on your original design. It works at any length.
6. List what to avoid in Video Creator. Under More options, "Things to avoid" takes a list such as "changing text, extra words, flicker".

Motion prompts for animated flyers

These prompts run in Video Creator's "Describe your video" box, with your flyer uploaded as the start frame. Each one keeps the words still and moves something around them.

Keep all text and the layout of the flyer still and sharp. Colorful confetti drifts down slowly in front of the flyer, and a soft glow pulses behind the headline. Static camera, no zoom. Festive party mood, smooth and gentle motion.

Keep every word on the flyer still and readable. Steam rises gently from the plate of food in the photo, and the warm light glows softly like candlelight. The camera creeps in very slowly toward the middle of the flyer. Cozy restaurant evening mood.

Keep the text and prices fixed in place. Light snow falls across the whole frame, slightly faster in the foreground than in the background, for a gentle parallax effect. Static camera. Calm winter holiday sale mood.

Keep the band name, date and venue text still and sharp. Stage lights in the background sweep slowly left and right with a soft blue and purple glow, with no flashing or strobe. Slow dolly in. Live concert night mood.

Fixes when the animated flyer comes out wrong

Each fix below changes either the start image or how much the prompt asks to move.

Limits to know

• Sound follows your description. Clips come with sound, so add a line such as "soft upbeat music, no voices" to the prompt. To use a specific song instead, lower the clip's audio in your editing app or pick a sound when you post. AI video with sound covers sound cues in more detail.
• Text can shift. Letters can blur, bend or change while the image moves. If every word must stay perfect, animate live text in a template editor instead, where the letters stay type rather than pixels.
• Ten seconds per clip. For a video of about 20 seconds, "Make it longer" adds 10 seconds to a finished clip, up to 40 seconds in total. You can also make two clips from the same flyer and stitch them together in any video editing app.
• 1080p is upscaled. Video Creator's Quality setting offers Draft (360p), 720p and 1080p, and its 1080p is upscaled from 720p.
• A Pro plan is required. Video Creator needs Pro or higher. If a generation fails, your credits are refunded automatically.

Draft, 720p or 1080p for a flyer clip

For most flyer clips, choose 720p under "Quality" in Video Creator. Its 1080p is upscaled from 720p, so it gives a bigger frame for large screens but won't rescue small print: if a line is hard to read at 720p, make the words bigger on the flyer. Both 720p and 1080p work at every length, in both shapes, with start and end frames. Prices as of October 2026:

Try a motion idea in Draft first, then run the prompt that works at 720p or 1080p. Each run makes a new clip, so check the words again.

How to convert a flyer to video in Video Creator

1. Design the flyer with Flyer Maker, proofread it, and download the PNG.
2. Reshape it if you'll post a Reel or Story. Open the flyer in Smart Editor, type "Keep every word and the design the same, and fit it to a tall vertical frame" into "What should change?", set Shape to Story (9:16), select "Apply edit", and proofread the new version.
3. In Video Creator, type the motion into "Describe your video", up to 2,000 characters. Start with what stays still.
4. Choose "Start from a photo" and add the flyer as the Start frame. Add it again as the End frame if you want the clip to finish on the clean design.
5. Set Format, Length and Quality. Vertical (9:16) for Reels, Stories and TikTok, or Wide (16:9) for a YouTube video or a website; then 4, 6, 8 or 10 sec, at Draft, 720p or 1080p.
6. Select "Create video". Clips take a few minutes, then download as an MP4.
7. Play it full screen on your phone and read every word before you post. If the text drifts, describe the fix in "Want to change something?" or run it again and ask for less movement.
