How to make a tribute video

  1. Add your photos

    Up to 20 photos across three to five scenes. A scene can hold one photo, two side by side, three, or a collage of four.

  2. Pick the look and the music

    Choose a look, such as Celebration of Life, and a piece of music. Type their name and the years, and add words over any scene you like.

  3. Watch it, then make the film

    The preview plays free. When it looks right, you pay once and Picto.Video makes the HD film for you to save or share.

Make the group photo move

Pick the photo everyone remembers. Say who moves and how, and Picto.Video turns it into a 5-second video in a minute or two. Play it at the party or the service, or send it to the family chat.

What a tribute video maker does

A tribute video is a short film of someone's photos, set to music, with their name and years at the start and a few words at the end. Families play it at a funeral, a memorial service or a celebration of life, and share it afterwards.

Most tribute video makers hand you a timeline or a template and leave the arranging to you. Picto.Video works from the photos. You add up to 20, pick one of the looks, and it lays out the scenes, the titles and the timing. You can change the words and the music before you make the film.

Picto.Video works as a memorial video maker or a funeral video maker in the same way. For the service, pick the Landscape shape so the film fills a projector or a TV. For family on their phones, pick Portrait.

How to create an AI tribute video?
Upload a photo to Picto.Video and say who moves and how, like 'grandpa hugs the kids and they all laugh'. You get a 5-second MP4 in a minute or two. The tribute film itself uses still photos, so the moving photo is a separate video you can play next to it.
Can a tribute video use group photos?
Yes. A Picto.Video scene can show a collage of four photos, so a whole family or team fits on screen together. If you want one group photo to move, the Picto.Video animator does that as a short video of its own.
