Bring Old Photos to Life
A still portrait becomes a short video - a gentle smile, a warm gaze, a quiet wave.
What the result looks like
What you get
Gentle, respectful motion
Four presets - gentle smile, warm gaze, wave and hug - designed for family portraits, not special effects.
The person stays themselves
Identity, age, clothing and background are preserved. The photo moves; it does not become someone else.
Works best after restoration
Restore the photo first (free preview) and the animation starts from a clean, sharp portrait.

Making a video is costly for us to run, so there is no free video preview - watch real examples below to know what to expect.

Frequently asked questions
How can I make an old photo move?
Upload a portrait above, pick a motion preset, and the AI generates a short video where the person smiles, gazes or waves naturally. The result is downloadable in HD.
Why is there no free preview for animation?
Generating video is far more expensive than restoring a photo, so we cannot run it free for every visitor. Instead, the examples on this page show exactly what each preset produces, and restoration previews remain free.
How many credits does it cost to animate a photo?
One animation costs 10 credits. The Value pack (30 credits, $19.99) covers three animations, or one animation plus twenty photo restorations.
Does animating a photo change how the person looks?
The presets are built to preserve identity - face, age, clothing and background stay as in the photo. As with any AI reconstruction, watch the result and compare it with the original before sharing.
