    Trips and memories

    Add waves, wind and shifting light to a photo from a place you loved.

Try a description like this

You tell it how the photo should move. Plain sentences work best.

  • “My cat blinks slowly and her ears twitch”
  • “The waves roll in and the sunset light shimmers on the water”
  • “The kids laugh and wave at the camera”

The video keeps the shape of the image you upload. Clips are 5, 10 or 15 seconds, with sound, downloaded as an MP4 up to 4K.

    A 9:16 photo gives a video for Reels, TikTok, Shorts, Stories

  • Square 1:1
