Hey Product Hunt! We thought you might like this simple tool for adding more pizzazz to your images. Motion is a really easy way to turn images into animated, geometric GIFs. Everyone likes abstract shapes + animated GIFs so we thought, why not combine the two and make it easy for everyone to use it? With Motion, you can make a geometric GIF in just a few clicks! The tech is based off the Primitive library and Geometrize library, both open source on Github. Because the hill climbing algorithm has a random component, we generate a few different frames and then stitch them together for the GIF effect. Hope you enjoy this tool and create some cool content for your next instagram post! 🐱 Thanks, Eric
I like this as another way of creating live photos! Now I low key want to try out this style in my next painting 🙃
Maker
Thanks Elena! Funny, we had that same exact thought about live photos! Haha. What kinds of paintings have you been working on?
I mostly paint pictures of Seattle in watercolor or pencil 🙂
App coming soon?
Maker
No concrete plans, but we definitely want to! Do you think it would be useful?
I think it will be! Majority of images captured by people nowadays are through their phones, having the ability to immediately generate such stylistic post-images will definitely be quite interesting and attractive.
What he said :)
Load time acceleration would be very helpful too.
this is very, very smart indeed!
Maker
Thanks James! How do you think we could improve the tool?
This is excellent. Would love this is a Shortcut in the Apple Shortcuts app. Came across a remove.bg shortcut recently and can't help but think that the same could be done with this tool. Great job!
Maker
ooo that's a good idea. I don't have much experience adding it to apple shortcuts though, is it an easy process?
Would it be possible to output the frames / images as SVG?
Maker
We'll work on that next! Do you have any other suggestions?
Fantastic! Can't wait for SVG - would make really nice lazy-load image placeholders. Being able to control the approx number of shapes used to generate the image would be rally cool too, maybe option to animate from low to high. Great work, well done 😃
Where's the benefit in this? All it does is making me feel slightly seasick and hiding any aesthetic merit the initial image may have had.
Maker
Appreciate the feedback. The idea was just to provide a cool way to remix images. But I can totally see how it's not for everyone. Do you think there's a way we could improve it?
I just don't think this is a good idea. Sorry, I'm not trying to be an ass or rude, I just look at this with confusion.

I used this app and I loved it but when I wanted share via whatsapp I couldn't share properly so is a nice app but is no for me now...

Pros:

Easy to use, fast and pretty

Cons:

Don't give you the possibility to download image and don't save as a gif

Doesn't work any longer.
