FAQ: Image in Video

1. Can I add an image to video online?

Answer: Yes, and it’s free with SendShort. Just upload your video and select a few images, then drag and drop them on the video.

2. How can I add an image to video at specific time?

Answer: Import the image you want to add to your video, then choose its video appearance by inserting the “In” and “Out” timestamps on the left.

How to change the time when an image appears on a video

Change those timestamps and you’re good to go.

3. Can I use any image in my video?

Answer: No, due to international copyright laws.

Generally, you can use any image in your video — but you need to ensure you have permission or the rights to use it. Using royalty-free, licensed, or your own images helps avoid copyright issues.
