AI effect · photo to video
Animate old photos,restored, in color and alive.
Upload a faded or scratched old photograph and watch it come back: scratches, creases and fading are repaired, natural color is added, and then the people in it come softly to life with a natural blink, a slight smile and a small turn of the head.

How it works
One photo. A 5-second video.
It works in two steps. First an image model restores the photo, repairing the damage and adding realistic color while keeping every face, expression, outfit and pose the same, with no new people or objects. Then a video model plays the photo turning to color and the people gently coming to life.

Questions
Before you upload, in short answers.
Is the old photo animation free?
It costs 52 credits, about $1.04 at the $3-for-150-credits pack price and less on a plan. If an effect fails, the credits go back. Pack credits never expire, and you can also earn credits from quests and daily streaks.
Will it change the faces?
It's told to keep every person's face, expression, features, clothing and pose exactly the same: restoration and color only. On a badly damaged photo the AI can still get small details wrong, so keep your original.
How long is the video?
5 seconds: the old photo turning to color, then the people coming softly to life. You can download it when it's ready.
Is my photo used to train AI?
No. AITube doesn't train AI on your uploads. Your photo goes to the models that make your clip, and you can download the result.
