The free FotoMorph program is used to create animation from photographs. From the photos added to the program, an animated video will be created, in which the photos will visually smoothly transform from one image to another.
This technology is called morphing. Morphing (transformation) in computer animation is the smooth transformation of one visual object into another. Such animation is widely used in graphics, television and film.
You can create animated photos, as animated clips or single images, and then save them to your computer using the FotoMorph program. After a few steps, you will be able to create an animation from several images by moving, deforming or transforming the images added to the program.
The free FotoMorph program has a simple, user-friendly interface. The program has support for the Russian language. You will not experience difficulties, you will only need to take care of finding images for your creativity.
FotoMorph supports the following input formats:
- JPEG, JPG, PNG, GIF, TIF, TIFF, BMP.
After creating animation from photos, the project or individual images can be saved:
- as images in JPEG, PNG, GIF, BMP formats;
- animation in GIF format, animated movie in AVI format, flash animation in SWF format, like a web page (SWF + HTML).
The FotoMorph program can be downloaded from the official website of the manufacturer, the Norwegian company Digital Photo Software.
After the installation of the program on the computer is completed, the FotoMorph program window in English will open.
Russification FotoMorph
The FotoMorph program supports several language packs, including support for the Russian language. To enable the Russian language, click on the globe image in the upper right corner of the program window. Then select the Russian language from the list that opens.
After that, the FotoMorph program interface will switch to Russian.
Animating photos in FotoMorph
The main window of the FotoMorph program will open in the "Projects" tab. You can see that the interface of the FotoMorph program is very similar to the interface of the FotoMix program, with which you can create a photo montage and collage. These programs have the same manufacturer.
To get acquainted with the capabilities of the program, you can click on the "Sample project" button. Here you can see the sequence of operations when saving two photos into one, using different options for saving animation.
Now let's go directly to the process of creating image animations in FotoMorph.
To start the process of creating an animated image, click on the "New Project" button. In the context menu, you will need to select the type of sequence:
- Morph sequence.
- Deformation sequence.
- Face sequence.
- The sequence of transitions.
Depending on the selected sequence type, the resulting animation will be generated.
After selecting the sequence, a window will open with the selected sequence of future changes. In this example, I've selected the Morph Sequence option.
To do this, click on the "Open" button in the left column in order to add the desired image to the FotoMorph program window. At the bottom is the “Coincidence” area, the combined image will be displayed here.
With the help of a red frame, you can select the area on the image that will need to be edited. There is a vertical scale next to the image. By moving the slider on the scale, you can enlarge or reduce the image for viewing.
With the added images in the "Pictures" tab, you can do the following:
- resize;
- mirror reflection;
- rotate;
- distort;
Since the images (start and end) may not match in size, in this case, you can resize the required photo using the FotoMorph program, using another graphic editor, or simply take a screenshot from that area on the corresponding image that you want to add to the FotoMorph program window.
I chose the first photographs that came across to me, which, in my opinion, more or less fit together. Therefore, do not judge me strictly for the result. You may be more selective in your choice of images than I am.
To make it more similar, I cropped the second photo a bit, then clicked on the "Rotate" button to rotate this image a little.
After setting up and completing the selection of areas for converting photos, go to the "Check" tab.
In the "Check" tab, you will need to add key points (labels) to the images to make them more similar. This is done so that the transition from one image to another, in an animated image, is more natural. The more such key points, the more similar the final transformation will be.
Here you can configure the demonstration of an animated image: delay time (at the beginning, in the middle, at the end), the duration of the video.
In the final part of the animation, you can return to the initial image again. To do this, activate the "Return" item.
With the built-in player you can view the result of your actions.
It will be possible to make a digital frame on the final video by selecting the appropriate color for this. In the animation, if necessary, you can add a background, animated text.
You can follow the result of your actions using the player, which is located at the bottom of the program window.
In this tab, you can enable the background for the animated video. If you choose background, then in this case, you can choose color, transparency, background mask. In your own way, by experience, it will be possible to determine the necessary settings.
After completing all the settings, the newly created animation can be saved to your computer.
Saving animation in FotoMorph
Selected individual frames can be sent to print or saved to a computer in the following formats:
- JPEG, PNG, GIF, BMP.
To save the entire project, in the "Animation" tab, you will need to click on the "Export animation" button.
After that, the "Export Animation" window will open, in which you will need to select the format for saving the animated video. Here you can choose its quality.
To export the entire project, the following options for saving animated images are available:
- Sequence of images.
- Flash movie (SWF).
- Web page (SWF + HTML).
- avi video.
If you select Image Sequence, all individual (there can be many) consecutive JPEG images will be saved to your computer.
After selecting the export format, click on the "OK" button and then wait for the conversion process to complete.
When saving a project in the "AVI movie" format, you can save this video without compression, or choose a program to compress the video. First, select a program to compress, and then click on the “Settings…” button.
In the window that opens, you can adjust the encoding settings if you are not satisfied with the default settings.
After the project is saved, you can open the folder where the video was saved and watch the animation you just created.
You can look at the GIF animation I created from two different photos.
Article Conclusions
Using the free FotoMorph program, you can create animation from photos, and then save animated images to your computer in one of the formats supported by the program.
FotoMorph - create animation from photos (video)
To create gif animation from your photos, select photos from the top feed of your album (if you are logged in on the site), or upload from a computer disk. In the bottom feed of the application, you will find templates GIF animations. By clicking on any template, you will see in the central part of the application how your final design will look like. GIF animation. GIFs divided into sections to make it easier for you to find the animation you need.
How to change the photo GIF animations? - Each template has several frames in which your photos change, the number of photos in gif animation for each template is limited. Photos that are currently used in the animation are below, under your photos. They differ in size, and their number is hardcoded by the template. gif animation. The current frame in which the photo is being changed is marked with an arrow. It automatically changes to the next one if you select a photo for a given animation frame. That is, when you select a photo from a photo album, or upload it from a computer, it falls into the frame that is marked with an arrow in the frame ribbon GIF animations.
When you have uploaded photos and selected the desired animation template and are satisfied with the result, in order to form and save the resulting animation click the “Done” button. It takes a little time to generate the animation, wait, after the application will give you the opportunity to save the GIF animation to disk.

Many are lost where to get pictures for posts. Borrowed images can get you in the neck, and you don’t have time to create visual content on your own. In this article, you will find several dozen sources of free images that you can use to illustrate publications.
How to bypass copyright
Virtually all images created within the last three decades are automatically copyrighted. You can't just copy them from someone else's site and post them on your blog. This threatens you with the following consequences (from more to less likely):
- When your content is stolen, in response to indignation, you will hear that “you yourself are the same, sit down and shut up.”
- Your conscience tortures you to death.
- Some principle copyright holder will complain about you to the search engines, and they will remove some pages of your site from the search results.
- Some principal copyright holder will sue you and force you to pay compensation.
You can bypass copyright in three ways. First, you can create images yourself. This will partially solve the image search problem. Second, use photos that are licensed under a Creative Commons license. Third, use images that are in the public domain.
What is Creative Commons

Many have already seen on the sites animation when scrolling the page. But the sites from this collection are slightly different from those that are usually found in Runet. Here the animation depends on the scroll directly. While browsing these sites, try scrolling the page slowly down and then slowly up.
I have written about interactive landing pages before. Be sure to check out this collection:
A few words about how the animation when scrolling on the sites in this collection differs from the animation that is most often found on the Runet:
Usually, when you scroll the page, the element appears in its entirety. For example, such an animation can be done using the Wow.js plugin. There are also analogues where the element appears every time it disappears from the screen that the user sees.
And here are examples of sites where the animation of elements directly depends on the scrolling of the screen. That is, the element appears exactly as far as the person has scrolled the screen. Values are being interpolated.
Thanks to this, the user himself controls the process of the appearance of elements on the page. Scrolling animation has a different meaning in this case.
Here you can immediately find both the minuses and the pluses of this animation. After all, you don’t always want a person to control the appearance of elements, because not everyone will guess to turn at the right speed. And to avoid this, it is better not to make the animation when scrolling the main functionality.
A little later I will try to explain in more detail the process of creating such an animation, but for now, check out these sites and scroll to the very end of each of them.
1 Appliancetecltd.com
Animation on this site is the basis. Because the blocks only appear when we scroll the page. If we scroll the page up a bit, then the animation goes in the opposite direction.
On this site, in addition to block animation, blur animation is also used, which makes the site even more attractive. Without knowing how the animation works, you might think that the site is very wide. But in fact, animation libraries allow you to do many things automatically.
Compared to the sites you will see below, this one is quite small, but the animation of the blocks looks very impressive.
2. Lempens-design.com
Here we immediately see a lot more different animation of elements: blocks move apart, buttons turn, a train passes, and so on. Unusual animation appears even when hovering over some buttons.
But most of all on this site, the images that are placed at the end of the block are striking. Although they are completely white, but because of the beautiful background image, they complement the block perfectly.
3. Pedrolandaverde.com
What I like about this site is that the animation here is an additional element, not the main one. That is, it does not interfere with scrolling the page. Animation here only complements and "enlivens" the page, making it more dynamic.
As you have already noticed (if you have visited this site), in addition to spinning gears, there are several more animated images here. But there are not very many of them. And this animation is really nice and interesting. I advise you to adopt this concept.
4. InfoQuest
The idea behind this example is very interesting. Gradually scrolling the page, you seem to be flipping through a comic book. That is, there are dialogues, and action, and beautiful graphics. It's such a pleasure to watch. And all you need to do is just scroll the page gradually down.
The idea is cool, on a small scale you can implement this on a landing page. The main thing is to make it really thematic for the landing page.
5 Sustainability.bam.co.uk
Another example of a page with scroll animation, where the animation does not interfere with viewing the page and does not depend on it. That is, it complements the overall picture here.
This way of creating an animation is much easier and it's easier to come up with the idea for such an animation.
6. Makeyourmoneymatter.org
You won’t surprise anyone with infographics on the site. Even those infographics that take up the entire page space. But this site is a great example of infographic animation when scrolling the page. Agree, this infographic looks really cool!
If you like these animations and infographics, then first you need to create an infographic. You can do this using one of these services:
7. Merry Сhristmallax
A cute animation, during which a Christmas tree turns into a Christmas tree from a hand-drawn Christmas tree. Here, individual blocks are perfectly traced, which are animated when scrolling the page. Done beautifully and you can "take on board" some ideas.
8 Fluger.com
A creative idea with a plane that flies in two directions: if you scroll down the page, the plane flies down and sometimes to the right, and if you scroll in the opposite direction, the plane reverses direction. This little nuance really makes this page even more interactive.
9. Coffee
Want to know how coffee is made? Then just scroll this landing to the very end. Even without knowing English, you can understand what is at stake on this page. All images are so colorful and well-executed that it feels like watching a video. But only this is a "video" with one advantage... You are in full control of it 😉 .
10. Kaipoche
The page itself is not very big, but the animation at the top of it looks great. There are also many elements created with CSS3 animations. For those who do not yet know how it is created, I advise you to study this article:
11. Buntspenden
After viewing a large number of sites with animation, this one is unlikely to surprise you with anything. But there is one element here that is not on the previous sites. This element is a menu. That is, when you click on the menu items, the corresponding block opens.
12. KIA
The animation on the KIA website is also beautifully done, but the site takes a very long time to load. And if the Internet is weak, then the download time can reach up to 2-3 minutes. It is unlikely that users will wait that long, most likely they will close the page with this site.
13. Dangersoffracking
Compared to the previous example, this site loads much faster, but here the animation is not as large.
14. Every last drop
An interactive site with animated elements that shows the amount of water we use daily. Even if you do not know what is written in English, it is intuitively clear from the images what's what.
15. Arnold Clark
This is one of those sites where there are so many scrolling animations that even fingers get tired when scrolling through the page. In addition, the animation sometimes appears very slowly. Therefore, to see the full animation of the element, you have to turn the mouse wheel a lot.
