How to use the AI GIF generator

  1. 1

    Add a photo or a sticker

    A clear photo of an adult, or a sticker from our sticker page; square works best.

  2. 2

    Keep the loop words

    Edit the action, but keep "returns to the starting pose" and "no camera move".

  3. 3

    Download and share

    Download the MP4, share it as it is, or convert it to a .gif.

Prompt tips for clean loops

One small action

A wink, a nod, a wave: small actions loop cleanly.

A plain background

White or one color keeps the file small and the loop clean.

No camera move

A still camera makes the start and the end match.

AI GIF generator FAQ

Do I get a GIF file?

You get a short MP4. Most chat apps and sites play it like a GIF; if you need a .gif file, convert it as in the next answer.

How do I turn the MP4 into a GIF?

MP4 to GIF takes a minute: open the video in a free online converter or a photo app that exports GIFs, keep it short and square, and save it. Ours stays sharper as MP4.

How long is a loop?

Seedance 1.5 Pro makes 5–10 seconds per run; short loops of 5 seconds work best.

Why does a loop look seamless?

The tested prompts end where they start: "then returns to the starting pose", "no camera move". Keep those words when you edit.

How much does it cost?

Seedance 1.5 Pro is 1.6 credits a second at 480p: 8 credits for 5 seconds.

Does it have sound?

Seedance 1.5 Pro: with sound as a switch you can turn on. Keep it off for a GIF-like loop.
