Inputs
Turn a still into a lifelike moving portrait
Upload a portrait photo and Artly adds natural motion to create a lifelike moving portrait you can post right away.
One image, several motions
Try different motion styles from the same upload and keep the version that fits. Your uploads and results stay private to your account.
Steps
- Upload a portrait photo — a clear, high-resolution image works best.
- Pick a motion style and an image-to-video model.
- Review the displayed credit cost, then generate and download the video.
Parameters and controls
Every live portrait style in one place
Choose from subtle expression, talking motion, cinematic and loop to match the mood you want.
Great for profile intros, memorials and creative posts
Use the Live Portrait generator for profile intros, memorials and creative posts, then download the clip for social, ads, or your project.
Failure modes and fixes
What animating a portrait photo can and cannot do
Motion is inferred from a single frame, so the model invents whatever a portrait photo never showed — ask for too much turn and the hidden side drifts. Write one acceptance test before you start: the movement this live portrait must show without breaking the subject. Compare a few short attempts against it, and stop at the first clean pass. If faces, hands or small text break every time, choose a smaller movement or a different style from subtle expression, talking motion, cinematic and loop.
