Small, natural motion
Blinks, breathing and a soft smile instead of big movements that distort faces.
Original look kept

Steady camera
The frame holds still, like the photo came alive on the table.

Animate old photos questions
Does it work with black and white photos?
Yes. The video keeps the photo black and white. Colorize it first if you want a color result.
Do I need to write a prompt for old photo animation?
No. The prompt is built in. Upload a photo, confirm you have permission to use it, and generate.
Who can see my photo and video?
Only you. Uploads and results are private to your account and are deleted after 30 days, so download what you want to keep.
What if the result looks wrong?
Try a sharper, front facing photo with even light. If a job fails, the credits return to your balance automatically.
