Your authorized photo

Use a clear photo you have rights to upload. Living people must be consenting adults; memorial photos need family authorization. No public figures or impersonation. JPG, PNG or WebP, up to 10 MB each.

What scene would you like to create?

Choose a scene. The prompt is fixed and cannot be edited.

Prompt249/2000

The person from Image 1 is remembered in a respectful portrait. Very subtle blink and a faint warm smile, still head and camera. Preserve their age, face, clothing and photograph composition. No speech, no lip sync, no music, no new people, no text.

This page runs only the scenes above, so the prompt cannot be edited.

Actual output: 5s, 9:16, 480P. Writing “4K” in the prompt does not change this resolution. Faces and details may change; successful results still cost credits if you dislike them.

About AI Memorial Video Generator on Cicadas

A respectful remembrance

Discuss the animation with family before showing it. Add a disclosure such as “AI-animated from a family photograph.” This does not restore memories or recreate a person. No voice cloning, fabricated messages or reunion scenes are offered.

Prepare an old print for animation

Scan the original in even light. Crop to one clear face without glare; repair major damage in a separate photo editor first. Test the least movement and review facial changes with family.

Use the clip in a memorial slideshow

Download your MP4 and combine it with still photos, dates and music you have permission to use in your own editor. Test playback offline at the venue. This page does not assemble a multi-minute slideshow.

Retention and privacy support

Account projects and media are retained for retrieval; there is no blanket 30-day photo deletion promise. Browser draft expiry does not delete account media. Providers have separate policies. Use the contact in our Privacy Policy for privacy requests or abuse reports.
