Bring Photos to Life FAQ
How do I make a photo move?
Add a portrait, choose a motion and press Animate. The face is redrawn for every frame of the motion and you download the result as a short video.
Which photos work best?
One person, face visible and looking roughly toward the camera, not too small. Sunglasses, hands over the face and extreme angles give worse results.
Does the whole picture move?
No. Only the face moves; the background and the body stay still.
Is it free?
Yes. There is no account, no watermark and no upload: the video is made on your device.
