A gentle living portrait to remember them
One photo of your pet, softly brought to life.
When a pet passes away, the photos are what we have left. A living memorial portrait takes one of those photos and adds the gentlest movement: slow breathing, a soft blink, a small turn of the head. It is a quiet way to see them again.

How it works
- Choose a photo. One where they look like themselves, with the face clearly visible. Old and scanned photos can work.
- Keep the Memorial mood. The link above selects it for you.
- Sign in and generate. The video appears in My videos when it is ready.
Ways people keep their memorial portrait
- Phone lock screen. Use the 9:16 export, then follow the live wallpaper guide.
- Digital photo frame on a shelf or desk, looping quietly.
- Shared with family who loved them too, by WhatsApp or email.
- A tribute post with a favourite memory as the caption.
Choosing the right photo
- A clear face matters more than perfect quality.
- Pick a calm moment: lying down, resting, looking at you.
- One pet per photo. Crop out other animals or people if you can.
- Avoid photos where the eyes are hidden by fur, hands or toys.

Questions
Can I make a memorial video from an old photo?
Yes. Any photo where your pet’s face is clearly visible can work, including scanned prints. Calm and Memorial moods suit older, softer photos best.
How gentle is the Memorial mood?
It is the gentlest of the ten moods: slow, visible breathing, two soft blinks and a small turn of the head. It is meant to feel peaceful, not playful.
How long does it take?
Usually 5 to 10 minutes. You can close the page; the finished video is saved in My videos.
What does it cost?
Your first 2 videos are free when you sign in with Google. After that, a $5 pack gives 25 videos, or plans start at $9/month. If a video fails, the credit is refunded automatically.
Can I share it with family?
Yes. Download the video and send it, or export a 9:16 version for a phone lock screen or WhatsApp status.
