Here’s how I read these two lines. They don’t show how many people search, only when interest rose and fell. Worldwide, it peaked in May 2026 and sits at 30 now, lower than a year ago. In the US it’s lower than a year ago, and the Google Ads numbers below tell the same story. When you see a sharp spike, think news story, not new customers. The baseline between the spikes is the demand I actually care about.

Miles explains
This is the number I’d plan with: September 2026 had 14,800 US searches, 33% fewer than in October 2025. Google Ads rounds these figures into steps, so a small move from one month to the next usually means nothing.

The biggest related search is “photo to video ai”, at 90,500 searches a month worldwide, more than “ai image to video” itself. Rising fastest next to it on Google Trends: “a2e ai image to video”, “higgsfield ai” and “higgsfield”. A sudden riser is usually news, not lasting demand.
