Resposta rápida
Open your screenshot in Screenshot Studio, click Animate under the canvas or open the Motion tab, and pick a preset such as Hero Landing, Slide In 3D, or Ken Burns Zoom In. Adjust the timeline length, then use Export Video to save an MP4 or WebM rendered at 60fps.
Passo a passo
- 1
Open the editor and add your screenshot
Go to screenshot-studio.com/editor and paste with Cmd+V (Ctrl+V on Windows), drag the file onto the page, or click to browse. PNG, JPG, and WebP files up to 100MB work, and there is no account to create.
- 2
Style the still image first
Set the background, shadow, frame, and any 3D tilt before animating. The animation moves the finished design, so a polished still makes a polished video.
- 3
Pick an animation preset
Open the Motion tab on the right. Presets are grouped into Reveal, Slide, Fade, Flip, Perspective, Orbit, Depth, Ken Burns, Bounce, and Effects.
- 4
Set the timing
Click Animate under the canvas to open the timeline. Play, loop, and set the total Duration anywhere from 1 to 30 seconds.
- 5
Export the video
Choose Export Video, pick Animation, then MP4 (H.264) for the widest support or WebM (VP8) for the web. High quality exports at 25 Mbps.
Which preset to use
Match the motion to where the video will play. Subtle motion suits landing pages that loop forever, while bolder moves grab attention in a social feed.
- Landing page hero: Hero Landing, Rise & Settle, or Hover Float.
- Launch post or ad: Slide In 3D, Dramatic Zoom, or Spring Pop.
- Product tour feel: Apple Showcase, Showcase Tilt, or Turntable.
- Background loop behind text: Ken Burns Zoom In or Pan Left.
Slideshows from several screenshots
Add Slide in the top bar creates more slides in the same project. In Export Video, choose Slideshow instead of Animation and set how long each slide stays on screen, from half a second to 30 seconds, to turn a set of screenshots into one video.
