Picture Animator

Turn any picture into a video or GIF — in your browser.

Six ways to animate: cinematic motion presets, frame-by-frame sequences, draw it yourself, sketch a real flip-book, or pose a stick-figure bone rig, or hand it to a kid in Kids mode. Export to WebM, GIF, or a printable PDF. Sign in to sync projects across devices.
