Animate your Photos with 1-click

Face26 developed a remarkable technology to animate photos, utilizing their expertise in deep learning. The technology allows for the animation of faces in historical photos, creating high-quality and realistic video footage. Face26 Image Animator feature is powered by several drivers that they prepared in-house. These drivers are a sequence of movements and gestures that guide the animation process, bringing still photos to life. With this Face Animator, you can see your ancestors smiling, blinking, and turning their heads in a short video that can be shared with your loved ones.

The Face26 feature has received both praise and intrigue from users who find it enchanting and captivating. While opinions vary, many people enjoy using the feature to animate their historical photos, bringing their ancestors back to life in a unique and meaningful way. We encourage you to give it a try and share the resulting videos with your friends and family to experience the wonder and excitement of seeing your loved ones in a new light. To ensure the proper use of this technology, our driver videos don’t include speech, preventing any abuse or misuse. As always, we advise users to use this feature with respect and consideration for the privacy and consent of others.

To achieve the best results with the Face26 photo enhancer feature, a high-resolution face is required, which can be a challenge when working with historical photos that often have small and blurry faces. However, we have the perfect solution. Our Face26 Photo Enhancer is designed to enhance the quality of blurry and low-resolution photos by increasing their resolution and sharpening the faces that appear in them. By combining this feature with Face26, we guarantee optimal results and produce high-quality video animations for your cherished historical photos.

Absolutely! While it is possible to animate all faces in a photo, the current version of the feature doesn’t allow for simultaneous animation of all faces. To animate each face, you’ll need to create a separate animation for each individual face, one at a time. By clicking on each face, you can view its animation. To quickly identify which faces have been animated, simply look at the individual faces listed below the main photo in the My Photos section of the website. Faces that have been animated will be marked with a play button.

Our system offers multiple sequences of gestures that can be applied to a photo, all of which originate from pre-recorded driver videos created by Face26. Based on the orientation of a specific face, our system will automatically determine the most suitable sequence to apply. However, if you prefer to have more control over which sequence of gestures is used, you can easily customize it in the My Photos section of the website. After animating a photo, simply click on the “Animation” drop-down to select any of the available sequences and apply it to your photo.

Yes, our mobile app in iOS and Android does support the face animator feature. You can download your app for free and animate your photos via mobile app. Otherwise, you can use the same feature on desktop. 

Usually it only takes a few seconds to animate the photo. If you face technical issues, we suggest to refresh the page if you are not getting any results within 1-2 minutes the most. 

If you want to use the Desktop Web app, you need to register and create an account. We do not require sign-ups on the mobile apps to animate photos.
