Interior design Reels from a single image

Choose 9:16 and FORMAT turns one interior render or photo into a 15-second vertical video for Instagram Reels, TikTok and YouTube Shorts, plus four close-up stills for carousels and stories.

Your first four close-ups are free. Each 15-second 720p video costs $2.60–$3.25, with no subscription.

One image in. One moving shot out.

Three real FORMAT results, each from a single interior render with no scene file and no prompt: one vertical 9:16 video for Reels, TikTok and Shorts, and two 16:9 videos for YouTube, websites and presentations.

Made for vertical feeds

  • 9:16 vertical video: 720×1280, or 1440×2560 with the 2K upgrade
  • 15 seconds, a length that fits Reels, TikTok and Shorts
  • Four close-up views to post as carousel slides or story frames
  • Silent MP4, so you can add a sound inside the app
  • Camera movement with depth and parallax, not a flat zoom-and-pan
  • No visible watermark on downloads

What makes a good source image

FORMAT starts from one flat image of the space and adds camera movement to it. A few choices at upload keep the shot easy to read:

  • One room, one view: a single frame of the space, not a collage, mood board or floor plan.
  • A straight-on or slightly elevated view reads most clearly as a room.
  • Start from a clean frame where you can: large text overlays and heavy crops leave less of the space to move through.
  • Any accepted format works: JPG, PNG or WEBP up to 10 MB, whether the source is a finished render or a project photo.

From image to Reel in four steps

  1. 01

    Create a 9:16 project

    Choose the 9:16 ratio and add one render or photo of the space.

  2. 02

    Generate

    FORMAT prepares four close-ups of the space, then creates the 15-second vertical video.

  3. 03

    Download, or upgrade to 2K

    Download the 720p video (720×1280). For extra sharpness on large phone screens, upgrade it to 2K (1440×2560) first. upscale your Reel to a higher resolution

  4. 04

    Add sound and text in the app

    Post it as a Reel, TikTok or Short, then add music, captions and your studio handle in the app.

Five post ideas for interior designers

One image, one 15-second video and four close-ups go a long way on social. A few ways studios can use them:

  1. 01

    Project reveal

    Post a finished render as a motion teaser before the photo shoot is done.

  2. 02

    Concept preview

    Share an approved concept as a short moving preview while the project is still on paper.

  3. 03

    Portfolio refresh

    Turn past renders and project photos into new motion content for your grid.

  4. 04

    Detail carousel

    Pair the video with the four close-ups to show materials, lighting and furniture up close.

  5. 05

    A horizontal cut

    Run the same image again in 16:9 (1280×720) for YouTube, your website or a client presentation.

  6. 06

    Before and after

    Post the source image next to the moving version so followers can see the camera move through the same space.

  7. 07

    Project highlight cover

    Use one of the close-ups as the cover for a project highlight, with the video as the first post inside it.

Vertical for the feed, horizontal for the deck

A project is created at one ratio. When you need both cuts, run the same image twice — each project produces its own video and four close-ups.

  • 9:16 is the vertical cut: 720×1280, or 1440×2560 with the 2K upgrade, for Reels, TikTok and Shorts.
  • 16:9 is the horizontal cut: 1280×720 for YouTube, a website hero or a client presentation.
  • The four close-ups are stills, so they work in either layout: carousel slides, story frames or a slide in a deck.

Pay per video, not per month

A 720p FORMAT video uses 100 Credits, and the optional 2K upgrade adds 25. Credits come in one-time packs, from $12.99 for 400 Credits, with no subscription. That works out to $2.60–$3.25 per 720p video, depending on the pack. upscale the finished video

Your first four close-ups are free, so you can try FORMAT on your own image before you buy Credits.

Frequently asked questions

What resolution is a FORMAT Reel?

720×1280 by default. The optional 2K upgrade produces 1440×2560.

Does it include music?

No. Videos are silent, so you can choose a sound inside Instagram, TikTok or YouTube.

Can I make horizontal videos too?

Yes. Choose 16:9 when you create the project to get a 1280×720 video for YouTube, websites and presentations.

Can I use photos of a finished project?

Yes. FORMAT works from interior photographs as well as renders: JPG, PNG or WEBP, up to 10 MB.

Can I change the length or the camera movement?

Not currently. Every video is 15 seconds long and uses the same five-move camera sequence: push in, truck left, boom up, truck right, push out.

Do I need to write a prompt?

No. You upload an image, choose a ratio and generate.

Can I use one image for both a Reel and a horizontal video?

Yes. Create the project once at 9:16, then run the same image again at 16:9. Each project produces its own video and four close-ups.

Can I post the four close-ups on their own?

Yes. They are still images, so you can post them as a carousel, use them as story frames, or place them in a client deck beside the video.

Is the video ready to publish?

The download is a silent MP4 with no visible watermark. Add music, captions and your handle inside Instagram, TikTok or YouTube before posting.

Does FORMAT redesign the room?

No. FORMAT adds camera movement to the space in your image; it is not a redesign tool and does not ask for a prompt.
