HOW IT WORKS

Three careful steps for an old photo

Choose the clearest scan or photograph of an old picture you have. For a natural result, ask for one subtle movement, such as a slow smile, a gentle nod, or a look toward the camera.

HOW IT WORKS01

Upload, add gentle motion, and download

  1. Upload an old photo: scan or photograph a family picture, then upload the JPG, PNG, or WebP file up to 10 MB.
  2. Describe the motion: try “slowly smile,” “gently nod,” or “look at the camera” in plain English.
  3. Download your video: preview the five-second MP4 when it is ready, then save it directly.
