How to turn a picture into an animated background.
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 background to share online across your digital channels and social platforms.
Add personalized style to your animated background.
There's no doubt that flashy, animated backgrounds keep eyes glued to your website. Experiment with a variety of animated effects to make your background Spin, Pop, Jitter, or Slide. Choose Zoom or Pan to highlight a specific image or message, then customize the direction of the animation. Plus, add physics-based effects like Wobble and Wind to create realistic movement in your background.
Photo effects make your animated background jump.
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.
Say it clear with animated text.
If you add text to your background, you can animate that, too. Imagine the background of your presentation title page nearly jumping out at your audience. Or your social media banner boldly declaring who you are. Drift, drop, or slide your text into your design—and control exactly when it enters or exits the background. You can even select other elements in your project, like shapes or icons and animate each one individually.
