At first it looks just like a regular ChatGPT interface. But it’s hiding something incredible. You can create ultra-realistic 8K images, restyle them instantly with a single click, and even turn them into cinematic AI videos — all for free.
I tested it with 6 different prompts — everything from realistic portraits to anime — and the results are unbelievable.
In this tutorial, I’ll walk you step by step through how to generate stunning images and videos like a pro using this tool.

What Is This Tool?
It’s Meta AI’s image and video generation feature — built directly into Meta’s AI platform. While it looks like a standard chatbot at first glance, it has powerful image and video creation capabilities hidden inside.
The image quality rivals MidJourney — with ultra-realistic details, anime styles, cinematic scenes, and portrait generation all available completely free with no credits and no watermarks.
Getting Started
- Click the link in the video description to go to the Meta AI platform
- Once inside, you’ll see what looks like a standard chat interface — but don’t be fooled
- To start creating, either:
- Click the plus sign and select Create, or
- Click the Create button directly
- You’ll land on the creation page where you can enter prompts and adjust settings
Part 1 — Generating AI Images
How to Generate an Image:
- On the creation page, type or paste your prompt into the input field
- Before hitting send, select your aspect ratio:
- 1:1 — square (social media)
- 9:16 — portrait (TikTok, Reels)
- 16:9 — landscape (YouTube)
- You can also adjust Aesthetics settings — variety, weirdness, and stylization — but default settings produce excellent results
- Hit Send and wait for the image to generate
What to Expect:
Meta AI generates multiple image variations from a single prompt. The detail quality is exceptional — rivalling MidJourney output — with sharp details, realistic textures, and vivid colours across all styles including:
- Realistic portraits
- Anime and illustrated styles
- Cinematic movie scenes
- Fantasy and abstract art
💡 Add “8K resolution” or “ultra-realistic” to your prompts for the highest quality output.
Restyling Your Image:
Once an image is generated, you can instantly restyle it with a single click to give it a completely different visual feel — without regenerating from scratch. This is one of Meta AI’s most powerful and underused features.
Part 2 — Generating AI Videos
Meta AI also generates videos — both from text prompts and from images you’ve already created. Here’s how to use both methods.
Method 1 — Text to Video:
- Click the Create button
- Click on Image and select Video
- Under Video Generation, select Text to Video
- Type your prompt into the field
⚠️ Important tip from the video: If your prompt only generates images instead of a video, add “8K resolution video” specifically to your prompt. This tells Meta AI you want a video output rather than an image.
- Hit Animate and wait for the video to generate
Once your video is done, you have several options:
- Extend — make the video longer
- Restyle — change the visual style of the video
- Add Music — browse and add background music from Meta AI’s library
Extending Your Video:
- Click the Extend button on your generated video
- Meta AI will automatically continue the video further
- You can keep extending as many times as you want
- After extending, you can still restyle or add music
Restyling Your Video:
- Click the Restyle option
- Select the style you want to apply
- Meta AI regenerates the video in the new visual style while keeping the same motion and content
Adding Music:
- Click Add Music
- Browse the available music library or search for a specific track
- Select your preferred track and add it to the video
⚠️ Copyright note: If you’re publishing the video publicly, mute or replace any added music to avoid copyright issues — as shown in the tutorial.
Method 2 — Image to Video (Auto Animate):
The fastest way to create a video in Meta AI is to animate one of your already-generated images.
- Browse your generated images
- Select the image you want to animate
- Click Animate — Meta AI automatically creates a smooth cinematic animation from the still image
Method 3 — Image to Video (Custom Animate):
For more control over how your image animates:
- Select your image
- Instead of clicking Animate, click Custom Animate
- Type your specific animation prompt — for example: “Zoom in dolly shot”
- Optionally add music from the library
- Click Animate
The video will follow your exact camera and motion instructions.
Method 4 — Upload Your Own Image to Video:
You can also upload any image from your device and turn it into a video:
- Click Create > Video
- Click Upload Image and select your file
- Type your animation prompt — for example: “He is talking and making hand gestures while talking. He says: Don’t forget to subscribe.”
- Click Animate
💡 Note from the video: Meta AI animates the character realistically with gestures and movement, but spoken dialogue may not always render as audio. The animation quality is excellent — just be aware that lip-synced speech with audio requires a dedicated tool like Dreamina AI or Lemon Slice.
