A new app called Oraku says it can turn a photo or one sentence into a short video in well under a minute, and it shows the credit cost before you start.
A new app called Oraku says it can turn a photo, a short written prompt or a ready-made template into a video in well under a minute. Its maker, JoyoLabs, Inc., announced the launch on November 5, 2026. The app is aimed at everyday users, creators and small businesses that post short clips on social media.
You upload a photo, describe a scene in your own words, or pick a template. There is no filming or editing software involved. The company's example is a pet photo that becomes a playful clip.
Oraku runs on video models called H3 Max and Seedance 2.5. A model is the AI system that creates the video. JoyoLabs says it will add stronger models as they come out.
Each video shows its credit cost before it starts. If a try fails, credits are returned automatically. JoyoLabs also says it adds new templates every week, based on what is trending, so users can join a trend while it is still popular.
The announcement gives no actual prices. It calls Oraku one of the most affordable ways to make AI video, but does not say what a credit costs, how credits are sold or whether there is a free trial. It also does not list which phones or devices the app supports. The speed and price claims come from the company and have not been tested here.
JoyoLabs says Oraku launches with a focus on short, shareable videos and plans to add more formats and uses over time.
Oraku promises quick AI videos with the credit cost shown up front, but the real prices were not shared, so check them before you spend.
