How to turn pictures into animated images.
1. Select image.
Upload images from your device or browse thousands of free Adobe Stock images to find the perfect photo for your project.
2. Animate.
Select your photo, add icons, text, and graphics, then play around with Animation options to add movement to your design.
3. Continue editing.
Keep editing or instantly download your newly animated images to share online across your digital channels and social platforms.
Add style instantly to your animated images.
Make your animated images Spin, Pop, Jitter, or Slide. Experiment with our variety of image animation effects to bring your creative vision to life. Choose Zoom or Pan to give your animated images movement, then customize the direction of the animation. Plus, add physics-based effects like Wobble and Wind to create realistic movement in your image.
Add impact with photo effects for your animated images.
Select Grey, Color, or Fade for a color-based animation that draws the eye and holds it. Focus in on your image using the Blur animation, and personalize with advanced settings like Duration and Intensity.
Add text to animated images for maximum messaging impact.
You can even animate your text to draw your viewer’s eye and ensure they absorb your message. You can drift, drop, or slide your text into your animation—and control exactly when it enters or exits the design. Or, select other elements in your project like shapes or icons to animate each one individually.
