Animate old photos and see the faces you miss smile again.

Yes. New accounts get 12 free credits (one free trial per person), enough for your first video. Free videos carry a stivio.ai watermark across the middle of the frame; any paid plan or one-time pack removes it from every later video.

If you want a natural blink and smile without installing anything, Stivio works in the browser, needs no prompt and lets you describe your own motion when you want more. Some family-tree services also animate photos inside their own apps; they can suit you if your pictures already live there. Try your first video here for free and compare.

Your first video is free. After that, a 5-second Kling O3 clip at 720p costs 10 credits: about $1.19 with the $19 pack (160 credits) or $0.92 with the $59 pack (640 credits). Credits never expire, and longer or higher-resolution clips cost more per second.

Yes. Everything runs in your web browser on a phone, tablet or computer. Upload the picture, press Animate my photo and download the MP4 when it is ready.

No. This page uses a built-in motion made for old pictures: a natural blink, a soft breath and a small smile, with the camera still. If you have something specific in mind, type it in the optional box next to the photo.

Your photo is the first frame and the motion is deliberately small, so faces usually stay recognisable, especially with clear scans. Tiny or blurry faces are harder. If a video fails to render, your credits come back automatically.

No. Stivio animates the photo exactly as you upload it, so scratches, fading and black and white stay in the video. Restore or colorize the picture with another tool first if you want that look.

You can choose 3 to 30 seconds depending on the model; for old photos five seconds is usually just right. Credits are charged per second. The one-click button makes a 5-second Kling O3 clip at 720p; in the Studio you can pick another model and length and see the cost before you render.

Yes. The page works in any modern phone browser: take a photo of the print, upload it and press Animate my photo. The finished MP4 saves straight to your phone.

Yes. Everyone in the picture can move, but larger faces animate more convincingly. For big group shots, crop to a few people first.

Yes. With no people in the frame, the built-in motion adds gentle movement like leaves, water or light. Pets get a soft, natural movement too.

Usually 1 to 5 minutes per video. You can keep the page open to watch it land, or find it later in your history.

Yes, the videos are yours to share with family and friends. Paid plans include commercial use rights and remove the watermark.

Try again with a sharper scan, a closer crop or your own short description of the motion. If a render fails outright, the credits are refunded automatically.

They are never listed publicly. Videos are unlisted: only people you send the link to can open them, and they are kept out of search engines. Stivio never uses your uploads to train its own models and never sells them or shares them for advertising. Your photo goes only to the services that check and render it, listed in Privacy Policy section 7.
