A sunset over the sea with a sailboat and a sparkle on the water, next to the words: Make your photos move.

How to make a photo move

  1. Pick a photo

    Open Lumivo and choose a photo in the system photo picker. Lumivo sees only the photos you pick.

  2. Draw the motion

    Draw arrows or a path where water, clouds or smoke should flow, or tap a Magic Motion preset. Pin what stays still with anchors or the freeze brush.

  3. Add a look and export

    Add an effect, a look or a slow camera move, then save a looping video, a GIF or a silky long-exposure photo.

Inside the app

Everything to make photos move

Lumivo is an Android app that brings still photos to life. You draw where water, clouds or smoke should move, pin what stays still, and the photo plays as a seamless loop with effects, looks and slow camera moves. It also turns photos into slideshows with music and edits photos, and it exports MP4 videos, GIFs, silky long-exposure photos and, with Pro, live wallpapers, all on your phone.

Bring photos to life

  • Draw motion arrows or a path, and water flows, clouds drift and smoke rises as you watch.
  • Eight Magic Motion presets, from water and waterfalls to clouds, smoke and a hair breeze.
  • Anchor points and a freeze brush keep faces, buildings and horizons still.
  • Seamless or bounce loops, with speed, intensity and reverse direction.
  • Pinch to zoom up to 6×, with a magnifier under your finger as you pin and paint.

Effects, looks and camera moves

  • 11 overlay effects, such as snow, sparkles, rain, fireflies and fog; 8 of them are Pro.
  • 15 looks, 10 of them Pro, plus vignette and film grain.
  • Slow camera moves that loop with your photo: Breathe and Drift, plus Orbit and Sway with Pro.
  • Text and emoji stickers.

Slideshows with music

  • Six original soundtracks, synthesized on your phone, or an audio file of your own.
  • Cut to the beat (Pro) times every cut to the music's beat.
  • 9:16, 4:5, 1:1 and 16:9, with up to 20 photos, or 100 with Pro.

  • Save a living photo as a video, a GIF or a silky long-exposure photo.
  • Set a creation as your live wallpaper (Pro).

Made for every kind of photo

In 14 languages

Lumivo's screens are in 14 languages. It follows your phone's language, and you can choose another one in Settings.

Your photos stay yours

  • Made on your device. Motion, editing, rendering and export all run on your phone or tablet. Lumivo never uploads your photos, music or videos.
  • Only the photos you pick. Photos come through the system photo picker, so Lumivo never sees the rest of your gallery. Saved photos and videos carry no location or camera details.
  • Nothing to sign in to. No account, no ads and no tracking. Google Play handles purchases and updates, and its billing library sends Google its own diagnostics.
  • Crash reports and performance data only if you turn them on. Both switches, shown during setup and in Settings › Privacy, start off. Only if you turn one on does Lumivo send crash reports or performance data to Google Firebase, never your photos, videos, music or drafts. You can turn them off at any time.
