How to Animate a Picture Online

Upload Your Photo

Add a picture from your device, Google Drive, Dropbox, Google Photos, or an external link.

Add Movement and Effects

Place the photo on the timeline and add an animation or transition. Use keyframes for custom pans and zooms, then add text, music, or other elements.

Export Your Animation

Preview the animation and adjust its movement or duration. Export it as a video or use the image-to-GIF converter to create a looping GIF.

Add Movement to Still Photos

Pan Across Your Photo

Move across a landscape, group photo, or wide image to reveal it gradually. Use keyframes to choose where the movement starts and where it ends.

Zoom In on a Detail

Draw attention to a face, product, or other part of the picture with a gradual zoom. You can also start close and zoom out to reveal the entire photo.

Create a Ken Burns Effect

Combine a slow pan and zoom to create a Ken Burns-style animation. Adjust the position, scale, and timing until the movement fits your photo.

Add Fades and Transitions

Fade photos in and out, slide them into the frame, or add transitions between multiple pictures. Change the duration of each image to control the pace of the animation.
