Make a family photo greeting

Create an occasion-themed animation from a photo, then decide thoughtfully how to share it.

1. Choose the photo and occasion

Use a photo you have permission to edit and consider whether the people pictured would be comfortable with the result. Keep the original image.

2. Explore a greeting template

Look through the available templates for a suitable occasion or motion. Follow the app’s current input instructions.

3. Generate and review

Check the current purchase or credit details, then review the resulting clip in full. Pay attention to expressions, hands and any changed details.

4. Share with context

Save only a result you are comfortable sharing. Tell recipients that the motion was generated from a photo; do not present it as original footage.

Keep your edit focused

Choose a gentle, suitable direction for the photo and its audience. When the subject or moment is sensitive, consider the wishes of the people and family involved.
