An anniversary video gift from your photos
Updated August 26, 2026
An anniversary video gift takes photos of a couple from across their years together - early days, wedding, family, today - and blends them into one continuous Growing video, set to music with a personal opening.
Why a video says more than a card
An anniversary isn't about a single day - it's about everything since. A card can't hold that, and neither can a shelf of framed photos scattered around the house. What lands is seeing the two of you actually move through the years: younger, then the wedding, then the family, then now.
With the Growing style, each photo blends into the next, so instead of separate pictures you watch the relationship unfold in one continuous video.
How to make one
- Gather photos from across your years together - the early days, the wedding, holidays, family, recent ones. Phone photos and scanned prints both work.
- Upload them in order. Each consecutive pair is blended into one animation; the motion style is chosen automatically, or you can pick it yourself.
- Finish it. Add a personal opening with your own text, title cards, and music - a wedding song works beautifully here. Then download.
Which photos to use
- Spread across the years, so the story feels complete rather than rushed.
- Both faces clearly visible in each photo. If a face is too small or turned away, the AI fills in the details and it stops looking like you - so lead with the clear ones.
- Keep the two of you as the focus, ideally with only a couple of other people in frame.

Classic or Growing for a couple
For an anniversary, the Growing style usually fits best - watching the couple change over the years in one flowing video is the whole point. But if you'd rather keep each moment as its own animated picture, the Classic style animates each photo on its own and compiles them into one video. Both take as many photos as you like.
Frequently asked questions
- How long does it take to make?
- Most people finish in 15-30 minutes. The animations are created in the background, so you can start it and come back when it's ready.
- What does it cost?
- It's a one-time purchase priced by the length of the finished video, not a subscription, with a 30-day money-back guarantee. Retries and re-compiling the final video are included.
- Can I use our wedding song?
- Yes. You can upload your own song, choose one from the built-in library, or have a custom track generated. Choosing and changing the music is included.
- Can I keep it as a keepsake, not just share it?
- Yes. It's an MP4 you can download and keep, play at the anniversary dinner, send in the family group, or load onto a digital frame at home.
- Which photos should I avoid?
- Any where a face isn't clearly visible - too small, turned away, or hidden - since the AI would fill in the details and it wouldn't look like you. Retries are free, so you can test a borderline photo and swap it.
