AI Photo Animator — Make a Picture Move and Save It as a GIF
Upload one photo and AI adds natural motion: a 5-second clip that follows your picture's aspect ratio. Download the MP4 or convert it to an animated GIF in your browser. Costs 10 credits; failed generations are not charged.
One photo in, motion out
You do not need a sequence of frames. Upload a single still and the model invents plausible movement: hair and fabric in wind, water and clouds drifting, a subtle camera move or a small gesture.
Made for sharing
Clips follow your photo's aspect ratio, so portrait shots stay portrait. Download the MP4 for social apps, or export a GIF for places that only accept images.
Have frames already?
If you have a set of images and just want to combine them, the free GIF Maker does that entirely in your browser with no credits.
How to use
- 1Upload one clear photo. Portraits, pets, products and landscapes all work.
- 2Optionally describe the motion you want, such as wind, water, camera movement or a small gesture.
- 3Click Animate. In 1–3 minutes you get a 5-second clip to download as MP4 or GIF.
FAQ
How much does one animation cost?+
10 credits per 5-second clip. New accounts receive 10 free credits, so the first animation is free. Failed generations are refunded automatically.
What resolution and length do I get?+
480p video, 5 seconds, matching the aspect ratio of your photo. This size keeps the GIF export small enough to share.
GIF or MP4: which should I download?+
MP4 is smaller and sharper. Choose GIF when the destination does not accept video, such as some forums, docs and chat apps. The GIF is built in your browser from the MP4.
Is my photo private?+
Yes. Uploaded photos and generated clips are private to your account and never appear in the public gallery. You can delete them from your dashboard at any time.
What kind of photos work best?+
One main subject, decent lighting and at least 512 pixels on the short side. Very small, blurry or heavily text-based images produce weaker motion.
How is this different from the GIF Maker?+
The GIF Maker stitches several frames you already have into a GIF in your browser, for free. This tool creates the motion itself from a single still photo using an AI video model.
