Photo Parallax Animator

Give any still photo cinematic depth. Paint near and far areas, animate a virtual camera, and export smooth moving footage for YouTube, Shorts, and presentations—without sending your images anywhere.

Photo Parallax Animator

Photo → Depth → Camera → Video

04 / LIVE PREVIEW

See the depth in motion

Preview · Drag is enabled in Paint depth mode
00:00 / 00:06

The preview and video exports use the same layered renderer. Depth colors are an editing overlay and never appear in exports.

05 / EXPORT

Ready for your audience

Export just a clip for Reels and edits, or keep the full camera move. Minimum clip: 0.5 s.

Recorded video is silent. WebM is generally available; MP4 requires native browser support. No cloud rendering, paid models or external image uploads.

MADE FOR CREATORS

A still image. A cinematic moment.

1 · Map the depth

Use a quick depth preset, import a grayscale map, or paint objects as nearer and farther.

2 · Move the camera

Control start/end framing, easing, tilt and depth strength. Preview and correct before export.

3 · Publish anywhere

Export landscape videos or vertical Shorts/Reels, snapshots, reusable depth maps and complete projects.

Questions before you animate?

Is this AI depth estimation?

No. Presets are transparent geometric starting points; you can paint or import a depth map. The renderer performs actual local layered displacement. It does not infer or synthesize hidden scene geometry.

Will a single photo become true 3D?

This is a 2.5D illusion. The tool does not reconstruct occluded surfaces. Large camera moves can reveal stretching or seams. Use subtle movement for best results.

Does it upload my photos?

No. Photos, depth maps and exports are processed in your browser. Project files contain an embedded working-resolution image, which you control.

Can I export MP4?

Only when the current browser natively supports MP4 recording. Otherwise use WebM and convert it separately.

Animate a photo with a depth map

Create a stylized 2.5D camera move by assigning relative depth to parts of a still image. Paint or import a grayscale depth map, or start from a geometric preset; the result is a layered motion effect rather than a reconstructed 3D scene.

Example workflow

  1. Load a photo and paint depth for the foreground, middle distance and background, or choose a geometric preset.
  2. Set the camera’s start, optional middle and end poses, then choose easing and a recording range.
  3. Preview the edges and motion before exporting a PNG frame/depth map, embedded project or silent video.

Authored example: Use a landscape, assign the nearest trees a different gray from the ridge, and make a small camera move. Inspect branches and borders for visible gaps or ghosting.

Limits and privacy: Depth presets are not AI estimates, and the tool does not reconstruct hidden pixels or inpaint gaps. Strong motion or blurred fills can ghost. Working photos are downsampled to 1600 pixels; choose whether transparent areas are flattened white or retained with an opaque colored video background; project JSON embeds the re-encoded working image and depth data. Custom camera keyframes, depth brush settings and background color are saved in schema V2, while version-1 projects remain supported. The export range is not embedded. Video is silent, real-time and capped at 30 seconds.
