1Why the two go together
A clip that starts from a still often ends too soon for the line or action it carries. An extender continues it without a cut.

3One of the two only
A page for image to video but none found for extending a clip: DomoAI, Dreamina, HeyGen, Higgsfield, invideo, Novi AI, Pippit, PixVerse, Revid AI, Toonkit and Vivideo.
Every maker with a page for extending a clip also keeps one for image to video.

4A task page from a maker
One maker that keeps a page for work like “Which tools animate a still and extend the clip” is SceneMixer; here are its words, quoted as published:
Reading a clip produces a scene-by-scene script: who is there, what happens, every line of dialogue, in order.

Paste a scene or a short script and SceneMixer gives you a storyboard — numbered shots with framing and seconds — and then a moving version of each segment, which you can join into a rough cut of the scene.
