Turn a birthday photo into a Live Photo
Forgot to turn on Live Photo while the candles were lit? Live.AI can add motion to the still afterwards. Celebration photos suit warm, small movements — flickering light, a slow zoom toward the cake — rather than big changes to people's faces.
Real example
Original
This example is unedited Live.AI output. Results vary with the source image and settings.
Tips for a better result
- 01Choose a photo with a clear focal point such as the cake or the person celebrating.
- 02Ask for light effects or a slow zoom instead of large body movement.
- 03Batch up to nine photos from the same party with shared settings, then keep the best results.
Example motion prompt
“Candle flames flickering softly, slow zoom toward the cake, warm light.”

Questions
I already have the photo — do I need a video?
