Updated
Example outputs
Photo: a sneaker on a grey studio floor (AI-made). Turntable, slow and smooth. Model: MiniMax H3 Max Turbo, 5 s at 768P, 50 credits.
How it works
Upload a clear photo of one object or character, centered, on a simple background.
Choose the rotation: orbit, turntable, vertical spin or diagonal roll, and the speed.
MiniMax H3 Max Turbo makes a 5-second rotation clip in about two minutes.
Add dimension to any photo with a 360 spin
The 360 Rotation Effect takes a flat photo and generates a smooth spinning video that orbits around the subject. Choose horizontal orbit for a cinematic fly-around, vertical spin for a top-down perspective shift, or turntable mode for the classic product photography look: the subject rotating on a surface with studio lighting.
The effect is popular for product showcases, portfolio pieces, social media posts and anywhere a single static photo does not do justice to an object. The AI fills in the inferred sides of the subject to create a believable rotation from a single 2D starting image.
Tips for the cleanest rotation
- Center your subject: subjects centered in the frame with clear separation from the background rotate more cleanly.
- Good lighting in the source photo: well-lit photos produce more consistent lighting throughout the rotation. Avoid harsh shadows that only appear on one side.
- Turntable for products: for product photography use turntable mode. Describe the surface and lighting in your prompt for the best result.
- Slow and smooth: the slow speed option gives the most elegant result for product and portfolio content. Fast speed works better for energetic social media clips.
