I bet you found this page by watching a video on social media of someone singing "Dragostea Din Tei" by O-Zone. Cool, isn't it? On the Internet, they claim that to create such videos, some complex programs are needed, in fact, everything is quite simple. I have compiled a list of apps to animate photos - choose and create your own videos with your photos that will speak. Let's get started..
A small introductory comment. The applications listed below create so-called deepfakes using artificial intelligence (AI). We do not approve of the use of deepfakes to spread misinformation, incite ethnic hatred and other illegal or unlawful actions. Use them for fun only.
My heritage
My Heritage is an online DNA sibling service to help you build your family tree, and Deep Nostalgia brings photos to life with AI. It allows you to animate old pictures of your family and relive moments of happiness together..
Just upload a photo to the site and your video will be ready in a matter of seconds. This is a free feature, but videos are watermarked and only a limited number of images can be animated. If you purchase a subscription, the restriction will be lifted and other features will open. In any case, if you just need to bring a couple of photos to life, you can do it for free.
Reface
One of the first apps to do a pretty good job of changing faces using AI. The library is full of ready-made recordings - popular music videos, films, memes, etc. After you scan your face, the application will instantly embed it in the video. The results are on the level, except that Reface has difficulties with beards and mustaches. They don't ask for money for a video with a watermark; you can remove it for $ 2.49 a week..
Available for Android / iPhone .
Avtarify
Another animating application that will make a funny meme out of your photo. There are many popular templates here, such as viral videos - "What is Love" with Jim Carrey, "PPAP", rickroll and much more.
There is also a "live mode", in which you can record a short clip using the face of Elon Musk, Jackie Chan, Mona Lisa, a dog or a child. Avtarify works for free, the final videos will have a watermark, which will get rid of a subscription for $ 2.49 per week.
Available for Android (in development) / iPhone .
Biugo
Popular app with a huge collection of templates for converting photos into videos. This app offers templates for creating videos from photos, as well as a huge list of options.
All you have to do is choose a suitable template, add some pictures and wait while Biugo processes them. The finished video can be saved to your phone or posted on social networks. Among the templates are LMFAO's Know It and O-Zone's Dragostea Din Tei.
Subscriptions start at $ 9.99 per month. In the free version, you can process one photo per ad view.
Available for Android / iPhone .
Talkr
Talkr has one simple and straightforward purpose: to make photos speak. The application is extremely clever at marking faces, setting key points on the eyebrows, eyes, lips, cheeks, and so on - and that's it, the template is ready.
After that, you can read the written text, read it yourself, or upload an audio file. Talkr will process and generate a video in which the character in the picture will pronounce the words.
True, the mouth does not move very believably, and the movements of the head do not shine with accuracy. But the application gives full control over the creation of the video, you can make the photo say anything you want. The free version will have a watermark on the video and can be removed for $ 9.99.
Available for iPhone .
Tokking Heads
As the name suggests, Tokking Heads instantly create short clips by animating shots with AI. You can upload your photos, or you can use portraits of celebrities - Elon Musk, Kanye West, Cardi B and others.
After choosing an image, you need to select music and video, and you can record the video yourself, just like speech. The app is free, but the clips will have a watermark. The premium version costs $ 3.99 per week.
Available for iPhone .
Wombo
One of the best photo animation apps, which, like other analogs, uses AI to make a funny clip out of a snapshot. The interface is very simple, making a video is a breeze.
Add an image, select music, and then Wombo will work wonders. The collection contains more than 90 clips - all the most hit and memes. The free trial will have a watermark. It costs $ 4.49 per month to remove it (as well as ads) and unblock premium content.
