The easiest way to turn photos into a motion video

The fastest way to make a video from photos is to skip editing altogether: choose a motion template, drop your pictures into its slots, and export. The template does the movement, timing and transitions for you.

How it works

1. Open the Rotion editor and pick a template that fits your photos.
2. Drag your photos in, or tap a slot to add one. You can add short videos too.
3. Adjust the size, speed, background and text if you like, or keep the defaults.
4. Export an MP4 or WebM: free up to 720p, or up to 8K with Pro.

Which template for which photos

• Many photos (an event, a trip, a portfolio): Slideshow takes up to 50, Flicker Cuts up to 30.
• A few favourite shots: Polaroid Stack or Card Collage.
• One photo you want to bring to life: Ken Burns, a slow cinematic zoom.
• For Reels: a 9:16 template such as Liquid Reel.

Tips for a better video

• Use photos of a similar style and light so the video feels like one piece.
• Put your strongest photo first.
• Keep text short, and add your logo in a corner.
• Need another size? Switch the frame to 9:16, 4:5, 1:1 or 16:9 before exporting.
