From a still wedding photo to a dance

  • 01

    The dress and suit stay

    The instruction keeps the wedding dress, suit, veil and hair from your photo, so the clip looks like your day rather than a costume.

  • 02

    It starts on your photo

    Your photo is the first frame, so the video opens on the exact moment you chose before the couple begins to move.

  • 03

    Older photos work too

    Prints scanned from an album work as long as both faces are sharp. Ask for a black-and-white or film look to match.

    Ready to share

    Download an MP4 for the wedding slideshow, an anniversary post or a message to family who could not be there.

How to turn a wedding photo into a video

  1. 01

    Choose the photo

    A sharp wedding photo with both of you facing the camera or each other, ideally showing most of the dress and suit.

  2. 02

    Name the venue

    Write a few words about the place and light, or pick one of the examples under the prompt.

  3. 03

    Create the clip

    Pick 5, 8 or 10 seconds and the resolution, create the video and download the MP4.

Which wedding photos work best

Posed portraits and candid shots both work. What matters is that the model can see both faces and enough of both bodies to move them. Photos taken on the dance floor are ideal, because the pose is already close to a dance.

Group photos are harder: the model may move the guests too, or blend faces. Crop to the couple before you upload, and use the largest version of the photo you have.

  • Good: the couple facing each other, holding hands or embracing
  • Good: a full-length portrait with the dress visible
  • Harder: faces in deep shadow, behind a veil or very small in the frame
  • Harder: heavy filters, collages or photos with text on them

Photo tips for a better dance

The photo matters more than the prompt. These habits give the model the most to keep:

  • Both faces visible, sharp and well lit, not turned away from the camera
  • Most of both bodies in the frame, so the dress and suit can move
  • Some space around the couple for the camera to circle
  • No heavy filters, stickers or text over the picture
  • For two photos: similar light and framing for both people
  • Only photos you have the right to use

Wedding photo to video FAQ

Can I use a scanned print from our wedding album?

Yes. Scan or photograph the print straight on, in good light and at the highest resolution you can, then crop to the couple. Both faces need to be sharp for the model to keep them.

Will the dress look the same?

The instruction asks the model to keep the dress, suit and hair exactly as in the photo, and they usually stay close. Fine lace, beading and rings can soften while the couple moves; a sharp, large photo helps.

Is there a free wedding photo video?

Your first 5-second video is free for a new account, once per network (an IPv4 address or IPv6 /64) every 30 days. Later videos cost 30 credits per second, from a one-time pack or a monthly plan.

Can we use a photo taken by our wedding photographer?

Yes, if you have permission to use it. Many photographers allow personal sharing of the photos they deliver; check your contract before you post the video publicly.
