Choose an old family photo. We restore it and bring it gently to life: a blink, a breath, a smile she hasn't seen in decades. On Christmas morning she scans a card, presses play, and watches it happen.
Order by 15 December for Christmas delivery
This is what they'll watch on Christmas morning. We repair the fading and the creases, then add only the small movements a face naturally makes. A blink. A breath. A smile beginning. Nothing strange, nothing overdone. Just them.
Animation is created with AI and checked by hand. It's a gentle, artistic interpretation of the photo, not real footage.
A video is a lovely gift, but a link in a text message isn't much of an unwrapping. So every Christmas order comes with a gift reveal: a private gift page and a card you print, fold and put under the tree.
Upload one photo or a handful from your phone. Add a short message and tell us who it's for. A phone picture of an old print is fine.
We restore each photo, animate it gently and check every result by eye. Within 2–4 business days, depending on how many photos you send you get the videos plus your gift page and card.
Print the A6 card at home on any printer, fold it into an envelope or tuck it in a bigger present. The QR code leads to their private gift page.
They open the card, point a phone at the code, and there they are: the faces they grew up with, moving again. Put it on the TV so the whole room sees it.
A Christmas gift for
[This year we found something we'd like you to see. Grab your coffee, scan the code, and press play.]
With love, [Emma, Jack & the kids]

The first photo of them together, or the two of them holding you. Turn ten of those into the family film and you've made the one present they'll ask to watch again before the day is over.
The first Christmas without someone is hard. A single photo of them, softly smiling, can be a gentle way to have them in the room. Hang the card on the tree like an ornament, or keep the video for a quiet moment.

You're trusting us with something that can't be replaced. Here's exactly what we do with it.
Every animation is reviewed by eye before it reaches you. If it isn't natural, it doesn't leave.
Your photos are used only to make your videos. We never sell them, and never share them publicly or use them in our marketing without your permission.

Yes, that's what most Christmas orders are. You upload the photos and pay; the gift page and card are made out to them, with your message. They don't need an account, an app or anything else, just a phone or computer to watch on.
You receive a PDF sized A6 (a folded quarter of an A4 or US Letter sheet). Print it at home on ordinary or heavier paper, trim along the marks and slip it into an envelope or a bigger present. No printer? Show the card on your phone, or forward them the gift page link by email or message.
Everything comes to you first, so the moment stays yours. We email you a private download link with the videos, the gift page and the printable QR card. Then you choose how they find it: wrap the card under the tree, play it on the TV after dinner, or forward the link to someone far away.
Email us before you order and we'll tell you honestly whether we can make it.
