How does Incarn animate photos?

Our technology detects the faces in your photo and creates natural movements: a glance, a smile, a slight turn of the head. Just upload a photo, and we take care of the rest.

How much does it cost?

The 50-photo album is €39.99, which works out to €0.80 per photo. No subscription, no commitment.

How is Incarn different from Deep Nostalgia™?

Deep Nostalgia™ and LiveMemory are MyHeritage features, included in a MyHeritage subscription once you go past the free tier. Incarn does only one thing: it animates each photo with a recent video model, Seedance 2.0. Plus, no subscription: you pay once and it's yours.

What photo formats are supported?

Incarn accepts JPEG, PNG, WebP and HEIC images (the format of photos taken with an iPhone). Any photo with a visible face works: family portraits, old photos, school pictures or historical images.

How long does the animation take?

Most animations are generated within 1 to 3 minutes depending on the image. You can close the page and come back - your video will be waiting for you.

Is my photo data private and secure?

Yes. Your photo is sent to our AI provider only to create your animation, and we do not sell your data. If you don't buy the HD version, your preview is removed from your gallery after 45 days, then erased from our servers no later than 60 days after that. Photos you have paid for are kept for as long as your account exists. You can also delete a photo from your gallery at any time.

How many faces can be animated?

As many as you like! For best results, we recommend photos with 1 or 2 clearly visible faces.

Does it work with animals?

Incarn is optimized for human faces. Results with animals may vary, but you can always try for free!
