See an old photo move

MemoriApp turns a portrait into a 6-second video with gentle, natural movement. Upload a photo, wait a few minutes, then download the video or add it to an album with music.

What an animated photo looks like

Demo clips from the MemoriApp home page. The movement is made by AI, so it is an imagined moment, not a recording.

How MemoriApp works

  1. 1

    Upload a portrait

    A JPG or PNG up to 20 MB, in colour or black and white. A good phone photo of a print works.

  2. 2

    Wait a few minutes

    The AI adds slow, natural movement and makes a 6-second video.

  3. 3

    Download or build an album

    Keep the video, or put several in order with a music track and download one album to share.

Questions about MemoriApp

Is MemoriApp free?

A new account gets one free video, with a watermark. More videos need credits, and buying credits also removes the watermark from videos you already made. The pricing section on the main site shows the current packs.

Do I need to install anything?

No. MemoriApp is a website, so it runs in the browser on a phone or computer. You do need a free account, by email or Google.

Does it restore or colorize photos?

No. It adds movement to the photo you upload. If a photo is torn or faded, restore it first: the guides on this site explain how.

Who writes these guides?

The MemoriApp team, with the help of AI, from primary sources. Each guide lists its sources and dates. The About page explains how we work.
