Still in · package out · you host

Still photos that
come alive — then leave with you.

Upload a photo. We cast a seamless living loop and hand you the files (MP4 + poster + snippet). You own them — host on your CDN. Built for people and coding agents.

How it works

We are a factory, not a CDN.

1. Cast

Upload a still (web or API). Free trial: 1 standard cast (1 generation only). Then 1 / 2 credits — paid price includes revises.

2. Download

Get a ZIP package: alive MP4, poster JPEG, manifest, HTML snippet. Put the files on your site or CDN.

3. Revise or refund

Paid: up to 3 attempts — each revise costs credits. Pick the best. No quality refund after download. Hard failures auto full-refund.

API for agents & apps

Codex, Claude Code, Grok Build — same job API. Bearer key stays server-side.

# Bootstrap (no key yet) — human opens claim_url once curl -X POST https://app.alivephotos.app/api/v1/agent/sessions \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{"label":"codex","pack_id":"starter"}' # Then cast with the delivered key curl -X POST https://app.alivephotos.app/api/v1/jobs \ -H "Authorization: Bearer $ALIVE_API_KEY" \ -H "Idempotency-Key: $(uuidgen)" \ -F "[email protected]" -F "duration=6" # Download package → host on YOUR CDN curl -L -o alive.zip -H "Authorization: Bearer $ALIVE_API_KEY" \ https://app.alivephotos.app/api/v1/jobs/JOB_ID/download

What you get back

  • *-alive.mp4 — seamless loop
  • *-poster.jpg — for <video poster>
  • *-still.* — original
  • *-manifest.json — prompt, mode, job id
  • HTML snippet ready to paste

Your production HTML never needs to call us again.
