Animate old photos with one silent clip

A blink and a look up on a picture you already have. One silent clip, then you download it.

An old photograph stays a photograph. This page is for one short motion on that picture: a blink and a look up, nothing more. You upload the photo, confirm you may use it, and pay $1 for 5 seconds at 540x960. The file is silent and has no watermark.

Animate a photo

Scanned prints, faded snapshots, and pictures from a box in a cupboard are the photos this page is for. The clip does not rebuild the room, invent a new outfit, or extend the day the picture was taken. It keeps the frame you uploaded and adds one small motion: the person blinks and looks up. Creases, grain, and the crop of the original stay part of the picture, because the photo is the source. If the scan is soft, the clip is soft too. Upload the scan you actually want to move.

One clip is one idea. Ask for a blink and a look up, not a walk across a new street and a change of clothes. The portrait frame is the file you download, at 540x960, 5 seconds long. There is no soundtrack in the MP4. If you want a record playing or a voice remembering the day, you add that later. The render usually takes 2-5 minutes. You get an email when the file is ready, and a failed render returns the credits.

The button on this page opens Animate a photo with the Old photo comes alive option already pressed. The brief is that option's own sentence, which you can edit before you render. Other motions, such as a wave or a dance, are separate pages. This one stays on the old-photograph option so the brief matches a still picture that only needs to stir.

You pay $1 for one clip of 5 seconds. The file is a portrait MP4 at 540x960, silent, with no watermark. A render usually finishes in 2-5 minutes, and you get an email when the file is ready. A failed render returns the credits. Credits do not expire, and there is no subscription to start. You confirm you have the right to use the photo before it is uploaded. Music, a voice, or on-screen text is something you add afterwards in any editor. The clip itself stays a silent picture.

This is one portrait clip, not a campaign and not a multi-shot film. The file has no soundtrack and no spoken line. You add music or a voice later in an editor if you want them. The clip does not grow a second shot, a caption, or a longer cut. If you want another motion, that is another clip at the same price.

1. 01 Open Animate a photo from the button on this page. The Old photo comes alive option is already pressed.
2. 02 Upload the photo this clip should move, and confirm you have the right to use it. The photo is required.
3. 03 Read the brief, change any word you want, and render. You pay $1 for that one clip of 5 seconds.

An old photograph comes alive. The person blinks and looks up.

That sentence is filled in on the landing. Edit it before you render.

1. 01 Use the scan you want to keep. A tighter crop of the face moves more clearly than a whole album page.
2. 02 Keep the motion to one idea. One blink, one turn, or one slow move holds together better than three events.
3. 03 Name the light in a few words, such as soft daylight or a plain backdrop, and then stop.
4. 04 Read the brief before you pay. Change a word if the sentence is not the clip you want.

The landing opens with this option pressed. The brief is the option's sentence, and you can change it.
