How to Easily Animate Your Photos with Plotagraph

As promised, here is a tutorial on how to make your still photos animated with an app called Plotagraph! The feature works best on photos with water (like all of my waterfall pics on Instagram) or clouds!

If you found this tutorial useful, please consider crediting me on an animated post, since this is not a sponsored post (AKA I’m not making money or gaining anything), and I just made it since so many people wanted to know how to do it too! <3

Below is also the written steps and photos, but the video above is better!

Curious what photography gear I use? Check out: GoPro & Travel Photography Gear Guide !!

1. Upload a photo that you’ve already edited

2. Use the mask tool to block the person/object you want to remain still

4. Use the anchor dots to outline where you don’t want the movement to go past

5. Use the animate tool to tap, hold, and drag arrows in the direction that you want the animations to move
