Make still images
move a little.
How to choose what moves, pick a motion, record a clean loop, and deliver a file that works where you share it.
FROM STILL IMAGE TO A LOOP THAT WORKS
The decisions behind a good wobble.
A wobble that holds up is more than a preset on top of a picture. The boundary you paint decides what reads as flexible material. The anchor you leave behind tells the viewer where that material attaches. Duration, dimensions, and format decide whether the loop plays smoothly or arrives too heavy to send.
Start with the beginner walkthrough when you want your first GIF. Read the masking and preset guides when an edge tears, a subject loses shape, or the motion has the wrong mood. Use the export and optimization guides when the preview looks right but the destination rejects or smudges the file.
Your image stays on your device while you work. Try the examples or your own PNG, JPEG, or WebP, then export a GIF, MP4, or WebM for the channel that needs it.
