In their own words
Photo2GIF
Photo2GIF is a web tool that uses AI to animate photos into loopable GIFs. Users can start with an image or type an instruction describing the motion they want the AI to create. The resulting GIFs are described as lightweight and easy to share, and can be downloaded or posted to social media, messaging apps, and communities. Available styles include Anime, Comic, Watercolor, Oil, Sketch, Vintage, Cyberpunk, Pixel, and Glass. The tool also offers 12 CSS effects, including Ken Burns, Pan, Bounce, Fade, Shake, Rotate, and Zoom Out. Each new account includes one free AI GIF, but the Free plan adds a Photo2GIF watermark. Starter Pack makes five AI GIFs and includes watermark-free output. Creator Pack makes 20 AI GIFs, while Power Pack makes 100; credits for both of those packs never expire. The listed prices are free, $1.99 a month for Starter Pack, $6.99 a month for Creator Pack, and $29.99 a month for Power Pack. Photo2GIF runs on the web.
