Six ways a picture can enter the frame
Every image gets an animation, chosen by the style or set by you per scene:
- Hand-drawn sketch — the outlines are traced and drawn by a marker, chalk, pencil or pen, then coloured in.
- Pop in — a springy, slightly rotated bounce. Great for logos, products and stickers.
- Slow zoom — the Ken Burns move: a fade-in and gentle push that makes stills feel like footage.
- Photo drop — a white-bordered snapshot lands on the page with a strip of tape.
- Slide in — enters from the side with a little tilt.
- Circle reveal — an iris opens from the centre with an accent ring.
Which pictures animate best
For the hand-drawn reveal, clean shapes win: illustrations, icons, logos, diagrams, screenshots and product shots on plain backgrounds. The tracer finds outlines using edge detection, so strong contrast gives crisp, confident pen strokes. Transparent PNGs are ideal — the empty areas stay empty.
Busy photographs — crowds, foliage, textures — still work, because the tracer keeps only the strongest lines. But they usually look better with Slow zoom or Photo drop. You can mix animations freely in one video.
Layout is automatic
Landscape videos place the picture beside the title, alternating sides from scene to scene so the eye keeps moving. Vertical videos stack the picture above the title with room for captions. Square videos do the same in a tighter frame. Images are never stretched or cropped; they are fitted to the space the layout gives them.
Privacy: your images stay yours
Unlike most online tools, nothing is uploaded. Your images are stored in your own browser so the project survives a page refresh, and the finished video is encoded on your device. That makes it safe for client work, unreleased products and family photos.
Add the story
Pictures alone make a slideshow; a voice makes a video. Write one or two sentences per image and the AI narrator reads them in your language, or record your own voice. Then pick a style and music mood, and export an MP4.
