Turn a still photo into a Motion Photo that actually moves - or make one from any video or GIF - then edit it without flattening the motion.
A Motion Photo is one JPEG with a short video clip stored inside it, the same idea as Apple's Live Photo. Google Photos and Samsung Gallery recognise the motion and play it; apps that don't support the format just see a normal photo.

5 WAYS TO MAKE ONE
āāāāāāāāāāāā
⢠Motion Photo camera - shoot one directly, with clip length adjustable from 0.5s to 15s.
⢠Video to Motion Photo - pick a video, trim it, choose which frame becomes the still cover, export.
⢠GIF to Motion Photo - convert an animated GIF.
⢠Photo slideshow - combine several photos with motion and transitions, each with its own timing, into one Motion Photo, video or GIF.
⢠Photo to Motion Photo - bring a still photo to life with zoom, pan, parallax, 3D motion and sparkle particle effects.
