The new feature, called TikTok AI Alive, allows you to transform static photos into “dynamic, immersive videos directly within TikTok Stories.”
TikTok says AI Alive “uses intelligent editing tools that give anyone, regardless of editing experience, the ability to transform static images into captivating, short-form videos enhanced with movement, atmospheric and creative effects.”

Some examples of how users can use AI Alive include “capturing a serene sunset photo and effortlessly turning it into a cinematic clip,” or taking ‘”a group selfie and bringing it to life as a lively, animated memory that highlights the subtle gestures and expressions of friends or family.”
