Turn a wedding photo into an animated video

Nima turns one wedding photo into a short animated video. The couple are redrawn as characters in a look you choose, such as claymation, felted wool, paper cut-out or pencil, placed in a scene like the one in the photo, and animated with a few spoken lines. It takes one photo you already have, runs in the browser, and the first video is free.

One photo, four looks

The same couple, from the same photo, in four looks. The dress, the suit, the beard and the field of flowers all come from the picture.

How it works

Upload one photo. Up to two subjects, people or pets. It runs in the browser, on a phone or a computer. There is nothing to install.
Pick a look. Claymation, felted wool, paper cut-out, comic book ink, pencil, watercolour, anime and more. You see your own subjects drawn in a few of the looks before you commit.
Pick what happens. Nima reads the photo and suggests three small story ideas that fit it, or you type your own.
Hear the lines. Nima writes a short exchange and casts voices. You can rewrite any line, swap a voice, and listen to the take before anything renders.
Get the video. A short square clip with the voices in it. The link is emailed to you when it is rendered, usually within half an hour, and it is yours to watch and share.

What people make with it

An anniversary gift. The wedding photo from the mantelpiece, as a ten second animated scene with the two of you in it. It costs nothing to try and it is ready the same day.

A thank you to guests. A clip to send with the thank you message instead of one more photo.

A save the date. An engagement photo works the same way as a wedding photo.

A surprise for the couple. Guests' candid photos are often better material than the official ones, because something is happening in them.

What it does not do

One photo makes one short clip, about ten seconds, square. Two subjects at most, so a group shot will not work. The background is redrawn in the look you pick, so it will resemble the place in your photo rather than copy it. Your first video is free; more are on a paid plan.

For a wedding photo that means the couple, not the wedding party. Pick the photo with the two of you in it.

Common questions

Can AI animate a wedding photo?

Yes. Nima redraws the couple from the photo as animated characters in a look you pick, and makes a short scene with spoken lines. It is an animated cartoon of the moment, not a moving version of the original photograph.

Can I turn a wedding photo into a cartoon?

Yes. The first thing you get is the couple drawn as a cartoon still in the look you chose. You can compare a few looks before picking one.

Is this a good anniversary gift?

It is quick, personal and made from a photo you already have. The clip is about ten seconds, square, and comes as a link you can send.

Can I choose what the couple say?

Yes. Nima writes a short exchange that fits the photo and you can rewrite any line, or type your own idea for the scene.

Can it include the whole wedding party?

No. It works with two subjects at most, so choose a photo of the couple.

Is it free?

Your first video is free. Making more is on a paid plan.
