Any photo with a recognizable face can be great! For example, statue & sculpture photographs are particularly fun, as are photo frames taken from video & film, animals, costumes, make-up like body paint & more. You can make animated GIFs and videos from anything as long as it has a face.
• Manipulate faces in your photo. This is where the MAGIC really starts!
• Apply ANY community-made Mug animations you like for free. Like a meme you find? Use it, but put it on YOUR photos.
• Not just one face at a time! Got a close-up of a group of friends? Yup, it works! But it’s hard to fit a whole baseball team in one photo, so focus on great faces!
• Instantly share your Mugs on Facebook, Instagram, and other social media. It’s fantastic for making memes on the fly. GIFs, video, and JPG formats are supported.
• Troll your friends with crazy Mugs putting their face in the spotlight!
