Professional-looking photo animations in minutes
Click, drag and drop Motion Arrows in the direction you want your image to move. Plot Anchor Points around the areas you want to keep still. Adjust desired speed with an easy slider control, then bring it altogether with a preview to watch your photo come to life!
Get your image moving in no time. Simply click, drag and release Motion Arrows over the areas of the image you want to animate, making sure each arrow head is pointing in the direction you expect to see movement.
Isolate the parts of your image that you want to keep still. Plot Anchor Points around the areas you don’t want to animate, or brush over the areas with the Mask tool. Adjust the brush size and feather the mask edges to fine-tune.
Trim your image to the size you want, before, during or after animating it. A handy Crop tool lets you easily remove unwanted edges for a perfectly composed photo animation. Crop, undo, and change the crop area as you like—PhotoMirage is non-destructive, so your original image file isn't affected.
After you've placed your Motion Arrows and Anchor Points, hit Play to watch your photo transform into a looping animation. Click the Stop button to go back and make further edits if needed, and preview as many times as you’d like.
First attempt not perfect? Don’t fret! Use the Select tool or Freehand Select tool to highlight Motion Arrows and Anchor Points that you want to move, rotate, or delete. Choose the Smart Photo Fix tool to automatically apply a series of color balancing and sharpening corrections to bring out the best in your image, and adjust the speed of your loop with an easy slider control.
