How It Works

AI Cinemagraph Maker in 4 simple steps

Cinemagraphs are the elegant middle ground between photos and videos—mostly still images with one element in subtle, looping motion. A portrait where only the hair moves, a coffee cup where only the steam rises, a landscape where only the water flows. Traditionally complex to create, our AI makes cinemagraphs accessible by identifying elements that could move naturally and animating only those portions while keeping everything else perfectly still.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about AI Cinemagraph Maker

In a video, everything moves. In a cinemagraph, only one element moves while the rest of the image is completely frozen. This creates an elegant, hypnotic effect—like a photograph that's slightly alive.
Elements with natural, continuous motion: water, hair, fabric/clothing, smoke/steam, flames, leaves in wind. The key is motion that can loop seamlessly and looks natural when isolated.
