I will explain how to do this in After Effects, but many other NLE such as Premiere Pro or Final Cut Pro X offer the same features, only slightly differently presented:


Open After Effects (or your NLE editor)
Import the image into it
Make it the exact duration that you want your shot to be
Create keyframes for "position" and "scale" on this layer at the beginning of the timeline with your image zoomed out
Go to the last frame of the animation, and zoom and position it the way you want the zoom to be
Export to MP4


I just did it to try out this solution; it took me 5 minutes to do this in AE and the result was a professional 1080p MP4 file at 59 pictures per second, very smooth.
