Add subtle motion to a still image
Image to Live Photo searches often come from users who want motion without installing a mobile app. FramesFromVideo creates a practical browser-side bundle by pairing the still image with a short generated motion clip.
The image stays local. Canvas renders each motion frame, MediaRecorder encodes the clip when supported, and the final ZIP includes the still, the motion file, and a manifest describing the pair.

Best results
Better image to Live Photo motion
Use high resolution
A larger image gives the zoom or drift preset room to move without looking soft.
Prefer subtle motion
Short motion clips with restrained zoom often feel more natural.
Match the target orientation
Start with the aspect ratio you want instead of cropping after export.
Check motion playback
Preview the generated clip before using the ZIP bundle elsewhere.
