Generating multimedia content directly from a mobile device often requires juggling separate services, but Runway: AI Image & Video brings multiple generation models into a single workspace. The app enables creators to produce original images from text or reference photos and generate motion via text-to-video, image-to-video, or video-to-video workflows. What sets it apart is its unified access to a variety of models—including Gen-4.5, Kling 3 Pro, Seedance 2.5, Nano Banana Pro, and Nano Banana 2—letting you select different generation engines without maintaining multiple individual accounts.
Multi-Model Video and Image Creation
Runway provides three main paths for generating motion: entering a text prompt, animating a static photograph, or transforming an existing video into a new visual style. These tools are built to handle diverse outputs, ranging from cinematic scenes and short films to marketing advertisements and social media reels. For still imagery, the app produces photorealistic visuals, character designs, anime, storyboards, and concept art from either plain text instructions or reference images. It also supports visual continuity, allowing you to maintain the appearance of specific characters, objects, and locations across different generations to keep multi-shot projects cohesive.
Automated Production with Runway Agent
For projects that require multi-step generation, Runway Agent handles end-to-end video assembly through a conversational interface. Instead of requiring complex prompt syntax, timeline editing, or manual shot stitching, the tool lets you describe the intended outcome in ordinary language. The agent plans the sequence, generates the required footage, and edits the shots together into a finished piece. You can then request revisions directly in the chat, and the agent will update the video accordingly.
Cross-Platform Sync and Access Tiers
Initial generations take roughly two minutes to process. For users working across multiple setups, the app automatically synchronizes all projects and assets between mobile devices and desktop computers using a single account. While the app is free to start, higher export resolutions, faster generation speeds, and additional generation credits require a paid subscription plan.
