Living photo is next

A still photo where one part moves, such as water, sky or smoke. What it is for, and how to hear when it is out.

The word Next, lit from behind

The next component from vicsek studio is Living photo.

What it is

Living photo makes one part of a still photo move. The water in a pool moves, the clouds drift, or the steam rises from a cup. Everything else in the photo stays still. This kind of image is also called a cinemagraph.

Who it is for

Sites that sell a place or a feeling: hotels, travel, real estate, restaurants and photographers. A moving photo in the hero section shows the place as it feels to be there.

Why not a video

A video moves everything, and it is heavy. A living photo keeps one calm movement and starts from the photo that you already have. I looked for a Framer component that does this and found none.

When it comes out

Living photo is the next component on the list. There is no release date yet. To hear when it is out, join the email list on the home page.
