Animate a photo

How it works

1

Choose a photograph

One clear, front-facing face. A scan or a photo of a print works. One you own or have permission to use.

2

Pick the motion — or write it

Every preset is shown with a real sample — what you see is what it does. Or describe your own motion in your own words.

3

Keep the video

A 5-second 720p video in about two minutes, for one render from your balance. Download it, share it — and your source photo erases itself in 24h.

If every take fails, your money comes back — automatically

AI video occasionally fails; that's the honest truth. When it happens to your order, we refund the payment in full — no support ticket, no waiting for a human. The result page tells you plainly.

You pay for the service — not with your privacy

Your photo is used only to render your videos and is automatically deleted within 24 hours of upload. We don't sell data, we don't train on your photos, and the only email you can ever get is the result link you asked for.

Questions, answered plainly

Do I need an account?

No — and yes. The browser you pay from is your account: its private ID keeps your renders balance and every video you've made. No signup, no password, no emails unless you ask for one.

How do renders work?

You buy one pack — 3 renders for S$9.90. Each render turns one photo into one video, in any style you pick — preset or your own words. Renders never expire and live in this browser, so you can come back next week with a different photograph.

Can I use my own motion, not just the presets?

Yes — pick Custom motion and describe what should happen in your own words ("she slowly turns and smiles at the camera"). Every render, preset or custom, keeps the person's face and identity unchanged.

Isn't this a little… spooky?

It can be, and we take that seriously: the motion styles are deliberately gentle — a blink, a smile, a slight turn — with no exaggerated expressions and no talking. If a render feels wrong, that's exactly what the automatic credit-back is for.

Does it work with black & white photos?

Yes — color and black-and-white photographs both animate. Old scans and photos of prints work too; the clearer the face, the better the result.

The photo has several faces — can you animate all of them?

One face per render. Pick the person you want to animate; for group photos, crop to one face before uploading for the best result.

How long does it take?

About two minutes per render. You can leave the page; we email your link if you gave an address, and everything stays under My renders in this browser.

What if a render fails?

The render is returned to your balance automatically — nothing lost, try again with the same or a different photo. The result page will say so plainly.

What happens if I clear my browser?

Your balance lives in your browser's private ID, so clearing cookies clears it. Keep your purchase receipt email — with it we can restore your balance, just write to support.

You already have the photographs.

Make one of them move again — for a birthday, an anniversary, or simply to say: look who this was.
