Talking about animated images and how to transform photos is very generic and can mean many things.
Trying to make a full speech we can say that:
- Turning images into videos can mean creating animated GIF images.
- See a face that moves and comes alive, like that of a video game, as if it were a virtual avatar in three dimensions in SecondLife or The Sims style.
- Use special animated effects to put our faces on bodies of dancers.
- Mix photos and move images with morph effects and transitions.
In this article, however, we see some web applications to be used on PC and applications for Android and iPhone smartphones, very simple, that add moving images to photos by creating Motion Photos, or that create a photomontage where you insert the photo into an element animated graphic .
1) To begin with, we must mention the animated glitter effects given by sites such as Blingee, the best site of its kind, which allow you to upload a photograph of any type and apply animated elements on it that can be drawings or superimposed video effects .
Glitter is a graphic form that has the characteristic of being sparkling and colorful and is very popular with young people and girls to personalize digital photographs as if they were drawn on a diary or notebook.
2) Crello is a website that works as an image creator and editor, which has a special section dedicated to animations.
The really high quality sitp, while the animations can be pasted over the photos in order to animate it without having to make transformations.
3) Photofunny or the Spanish version PhotoEfectos, is a site that provides the typical web application for uploading a photograph that is on the computer, transforming it, adding animated images above it or mounting the same photograph on a particular and fun background .
It is not necessary to register an account to make transformations, just click on one of the effects listed, choose a file from the computer, adapt the face by changing the size and contours with an easy site tool and see the modified image.
The creations can eventually be saved on the PC or sent via email to anyone.
Among the special functions available there are: the classic photo montage effects by putting your face on the body of a famous person or on a famous background, applying filters to change the colors of a photo, animating the photograph by inserting it into an animated body and adding frames of various types.
4) The Pho.to site has four very fun online applications: We have seen two of these in other articles: Makeup Photo we have already talked about that allows you to do the lifting of a face skin by remaking it and Funny Photo that creates automatic photo montages of multiple effects.
In this post, however, the other two are fully that are Avatar Photo and Cartoon Photo that animate a face and changing the features of the face.
Avatar Photo is used to create a design starting from a real image in order to use it as a representative avatar on a forum, blog or Facebook.
The effects that can be applied are all animated and for example, there is the reflected water effect, the translation into a ghost, in a terminator, you can put animated frames and frames, you can apply various tricks and many other things.
Cartoon Photo instead is simpler and allows you to give a different expression to a photographed face.
Practically the face comes alive, as in the image above, and smiles or twists the mouth, or narrowes the eyes or gets angry, becomes sad and so on; it almost seems to create messenger emoticons with real photos.
To make the animation work, press the "Animate" button after uploading the photo.
Each of these images can be saved as a Gif file and can then be viewed on the PC or sent to whoever you want.

5) Hypah is slightly different and takes us back a little to glitter because it is an easy and immediate application to use that allows you to add animated elements over a photograph.
But all these effects do them well with a very fun editor to play with photos .
There is the shimmering spray, the snowflakes, the light rays, hearts, stars and other figures, each of which can be colored as you wish with the parameters of brightness, contrast, opacity, saturation and frequency of the animations.
The image can eventually be saved as a GIF and shared on Facebook or wherever you want.
6) Finally, inserted in this post it is worth remembering MakeSweet, a web application where you make photomontages by inserting your own photograph into a moving 3D scenario such as a flag waving, a candle, a guitar, a body and many others.
To move the photos you can also use the free FotoMix program that moves the images .
On Android smartphones and iPhones it is possible to use some applications to create the " Photo Motion " moving effect .
Among these we have:
- Zeotropic for Android and for iPhone, free and simple, which adds animations to the photos.
- VIMAGE, for Android and for iPhone, creates Cinemagraph images, those where everything is fixed except for an element that is moving.
This is perhaps the app not to be missed on this list, awarded in the Gogoel Play Store among the best apps of 2018.
- Loopsie, free for Android and iPhone generates cinemagraph moving images from videos, easily and automatically.
- StoryZ is truly a great application for Android and iPhone that allows you to transform photos to make them move.
The animated Double Exposure Effect superimposes static images and videos creating motion art photos.
- Motions Stills is a Google app for Android and for iPhone to add animated elements to photos to be saved as GIF Cinemagraph or as video.
