In their own words
PicAlive
PicAlive is an iOS app that turns one still photo into a short, looping AI-generated video. Choose a photo and tap Make Alive; the service creates animation instructions on its server without asking for prompts or style choices. The maker says portraits, selfies, pets, landscapes and old family photos can be animated, with clear subjects and good lighting producing the most natural motion. Generation usually takes a few minutes, and the app shows progress and queue estimates. Finished clips can be saved to Photos or shared through the iOS share sheet, including to Messages, Instagram and TikTok. Results remain in History for replay, regeneration or deletion. The free plan is free, with a first onboarding animation; free videos have usage limits, a watermark and occasional ads. PicAlive PRO includes unlimited generations, priority processing, no ads and watermark-free saved or shared videos. PRO plans auto-renew and can be canceled through Apple ID subscription settings. Uploaded photos go to PicAlive’s cloud service, while saving a finished clip is user-initiated.
