AnimatePhoto is a web service that uses AI to turn still photos and other images into animated videos. You can describe the motion you want in text and choose a style, including cinematic, gentle, or dynamic animation. The site says its photo animator uses more than 60 AI models and supports image-to-video, face animation, camera motion, and lip-sync. Finished animations can be downloaded as MP4 files at up to 1080p. The homepage says generated animations can be used commercially with full licensing rights and that failed generations are refunded. AnimatePhoto has a free plan and free trial, as well as one-time credit packs and monthly subscriptions. One-time packs start at $6.90 per purchase. Monthly plans start at $9.90 per month for 1,200 credits, described as about 50 photo animations. The $24.90 plan includes 4,000 credits, or about 160 animations, and the $49.90 plan includes 10,000 credits, or about 400. Monthly plans include access to all AI models, private generation, video effects and tools, a commercial license, and priority support. Uploaded and generated content is stored in the account dashboard, where individual items can be deleted. The service says data is encrypted in transit and at rest. Users must be at least 18.
