About Photo Animation: Animate Pics
Photo Animation turns still photos into moving pictures. Pick a photo, choose an animation, add sparkle effects and music, and save it as a video, GIF or Live Photo in seconds.
Whether it is a selfie, a pet, a travel shot or an old family picture, this photo animator helps you animate photos without any editing skills. Make pictures move with 3D camera motion, add twinkling stars, falling petals or glowing wings, then share your animated photo to stories, reels and status.
ANIMATE PHOTOS WITH 150+ ANIMATIONS
• 3D motion: the app separates the person from the background, then moves the camera around them for a real depth effect. Swing, circle, zoom, dolly, float, figure 8, cinematic and more
• 2D motion: zoom in, zoom out, pan, rise, drop, rotate, orbit and bounce
• Camera moves: shake, sway, zoom shake and scroll
• Style animations: glitch, VHS, neon, film grain, bloom, blur, mirror, kaleidoscope, duotone and heartbeat
• 3D and particle animations: cube, page flip, 3D album, shatter, fire, fireworks and magic wand
• Adjust the duration and motion strength to get the look you want
SPARKLE AND OVERLAY EFFECTS
• 70+ animated effects in 7 groups: stars, light, doodles, cute, wings, falling and glowing outlines
• Glitter, stardust, diamonds and shooting stars to make your photo sparkle
• Bokeh, lens flare, light rays and light leaks for a dreamy glow
• Hearts, butterflies, bubbles, balloons, crowns and music notes
• Glowing wings placed right behind the person in your picture
• Falling snow, petals, maple leaves, confetti, rain and coins
• Stack several effects on the same photo
PHOTO SLIDESHOW WITH MUSIC
• Turn 2 to 10 photos into one video
• Give each photo its own animation, then pick a transition between them: fade, slide, wipe, circle or zoom
• Set how long each photo stays on screen and drag to reorder
• Add background music from the music library or use your own audio
EDIT BEFORE YOU ANIMATE
• 200 filters in 34 styles, from film and retro to cinematic and cyberpunk
• Light leaks and color adjustments
• Add text, stickers and picture-in-picture
SAVE AND SHARE
• Save as MP4 video, GIF or Live Photo (motion photo)
• No watermark on your saved animations
• Set your moving picture as a live wallpaper
• Share straight to your favorite social apps
