Turn a still photo into a Motion Photo that actually moves - or make one from any video or GIF - then edit it without flattening the motion.
A Motion Photo is one JPEG with a short video clip stored inside it, the same idea as Apple's Live Photo. Google Photos and Samsung Gallery recognise the motion and play it; apps that don't support the format just see a normal photo.

5 WAYS TO MAKE ONE
━━━━━━━━━━━━
• Motion Photo camera - shoot one directly, with clip length adjustable from 0.5s to 15s.
• Video to Motion Photo - pick a video, trim it, choose which frame becomes the still cover, export.
• GIF to Motion Photo - convert an animated GIF.
• Photo slideshow - combine several photos with motion and transitions, each with its own timing, into one Motion Photo, video or GIF.
• Photo to Motion Photo - bring a still photo to life with zoom, pan, parallax, 3D motion and sparkle particle effects.
━━━━━━━━━━━━
MOTION PHOTO EDITOR
━━━━━━━━━━━━
• Open an existing Motion Photo - from this app, a Pixel or a Samsung phone - and edit it without flattening the motion
• Filters, manual colour adjustment, trim, cover frame, text and stickers
• Export as a Motion Photo again, or as plain MP4
━━━━━━━━━━━━
CONVERT AND EXTRACT
━━━━━━━━━━━━
• Motion Photo to video - pull out the embedded MP4
• Motion Photo to image - save a frame as a normal JPEG
━━━━━━━━━━━━
CAMERA
━━━━━━━━━━━━
• Three modes: photo, video, Motion Photo
• Camera2 with GPU filter preview - the filter you see while shooting is the one that gets saved
• Aspect ratios 3:4, 1:1 and 9:16
• 3s and 5s self-timer, front and rear cameras, mirror toggle for selfies, torch
• Film camera with classic film looks, and a light glow camera that uses the screen as a fill light for low-light selfies
━━━━━━━━━━━━
200 FILTERS
━━━━━━━━━━━━
• 200 LUT colour filters in 34 sets: classic, film era, movie, black and white, cyberpunk, city night, retro green, French retro, Japanese cold tone, dark aesthetics, autumn, portrait, food and more
• Strength slider on every filter
• The same shader runs in the preview and in the export, so the saved file matches what you saw
━━━━━━━━━━━━
PHOTO EDITOR
━━━━━━━━━━━━
• 200 filters plus 10 manual adjustments: brightness, contrast, saturation, exposure, highlights, shadows, warmth, tint, fade, vignette
• Light leak overlays, frames, stickers, picture-in-picture, freehand drawing, date stamp
• Text with fonts downloaded on demand from Google Fonts, plus stroke, shadow and glow styles
• Background remover - on-device subject cutout, nothing is uploaded
━━━━━━━━━━━━
VIDEO EDITOR
━━━━━━━━━━━━
• Trim, filters, colour adjustment, text and stickers
• Export as MP4, or turn the edited clip into a Motion Photo
━━━━━━━━━━━━
AI ENHANCE (UPSCALE)
━━━━━━━━━━━━
• Real-ESRGAN 4x upscaling for photos, Motion Photos and videos up to 5 seconds
• Runs on your phone, GPU-accelerated where the device supports it
• The model is a few MB and downloads on first use; your images never leave the device
━━━━━━━━━━━━
MORE TOOLS
━━━━━━━━━━━━
• Live wallpaper - set a video or Motion Photo as your Android wallpaper
• Collage maker, and live collage templates that export a social-style Motion Photo, video or GIF
━━━━━━━━━━━━
FORMATS AND REQUIREMENTS
━━━━━━━━━━━━
• Writes both the GCamera:MotionPhoto and the older GCamera:MicroVideo XMP tags, so the motion plays in Google Photos and Samsung Gallery
• Reads: JPEG and PNG photos, MP4 video, animated GIF, Motion Photos from Pixel, Samsung and this app
• Writes: Motion Photo (JPEG with embedded MP4), MP4, JPEG, GIF
• Editing, conversion and export all run locally. The internet is only used to download the enhance model, fonts and some sticker, frame and background packs
• Camera and microphone are used by the camera modes; photo and video access opens the files you pick and saves the results
• Android 7.0 and above
