Plotagraph + turns still photos into animated works of art

Although fewer and fewer photos are being printed to put in books and frames, the pictures are still standing still. With Plotagraph + you can add lifelike animations to your pictures afterwards, so that even the most boring photo looks spectacular.

Plotagraph + makes every photo spectacular

Plotagraph is a typical app that you have to see to understand what makes it so special. In an accessible way, the app makes a still photo come to life. This way you can make the clouds move through the air and let the grass wave as if the wind is blowing through it. Of course you can also use the technique for less realistic things, so that you can roll the steps of a staircase upwards, for example.

All you need is a photo and this app on your iPhone or iPad. After loading the photo, you can indicate exactly which objects should be animated and which way they are going by drawing arrows. By then marking the area to stay still, the app can get to work. For extra details you can crop the photo, set the speed of the animation or choose an anchor point.

Export as gif is missing

The only thing missing from the app is the option to export your creation as a gif that repeats itself. Now you have to do with a simple movie that stops moving after a few seconds. Fortunately, you can of course solve this yourself by using an app like Giphy Cam. By inserting your Plotagraph + video here, you can export it as a gif that keeps repeating itself. Let’s hope the developers build in a similar feature.

Apart from this, the app is one of the most interesting photo apps we’ve seen in recent times. For now, the app is available at a discount in the App Store for just over five euros. This is more expensive than the average iOS app, but Plotagraph + is above average.
