Common questions
What does Movlee actually do?
Movlee takes a still profile photo (your face, your dog, your logo — anything) and applies one of eleven kinetic animation effects to produce a high-quality animated GIF. The output is a small file you can use as your profile picture on any platform that supports animated avatars: Slack, Discord, Twitter/X, LinkedIn, Telegram, and more.
How is this different from other avatar makers?
Most "animated avatar" tools generate cartoon-style characters from scratch — they don't animate your photo. Movlee keeps your real face and adds motion around or through it. The animations are physics-inspired (fire, mercury, smoke, fracture) rather than cartoony, which gives results that feel more design-conscious than gimmicky.
Is it really free?
The free tier is genuinely free, no account required. You can use any of the six free animation styles and download the result as an animated GIF. Premium styles are paid one-time purchases — pick one animation for a small fee, or buy a 3-pack at a per-unit discount. There's no subscription, no recurring billing, no trial-then-charge nonsense.
Where can I use the animated GIF?
Anywhere your platform supports an animated profile picture, which is most major social and communication platforms — Slack, Discord, Twitter/X, Telegram, Reddit, LinkedIn, BlueSky, and many email clients. Some platforms (notably Instagram and Facebook for personal profiles) downgrade animated GIFs to stills, so check your specific platform first.
What's the file format and size?
Animated GIF, typically 320×320 pixels or 480×480 pixels (configurable for premium downloads), under 1MB. This is the standard size that fits within most platforms' upload limits and looks crisp on modern displays.
Do you store my photo?
No. The animation runs entirely in your browser using your own device's processing power. Your photo never leaves your device — it isn't uploaded to a server, isn't stored, isn't analyzed by AI. When you close the browser tab, the photo is gone.
