Animate your Photoshop files

Designed a post or a banner in Photoshop? Drop the PSD into smooth.video and every layer arrives as its own element on the timeline, in the same place as in your document. Give each layer an entrance, and the static design becomes a video, a GIF or a transparent WebM.

How it works

  1. 1

    Open smooth.video and drag your .psd file onto the editor. The canvas takes the size of the document.

  2. 2

    Each layer becomes an element, stacked in the same order. Give each one an entrance and a start time.

  3. 3

    Export as MP4, GIF, or WebM with a transparent background.

Layers come in as images

Every layer is imported as a picture, text layers included, so text can't be edited as text any more. Finish the copy in Photoshop first, or retype it in smooth.video with any of more than 1,300 Google Fonts.

Split the layers for motion

Keep apart in Photoshop whatever should move on its own: the logo on one layer, the headline on another, each product on its own. Anything merged into one layer moves as one piece.

Questions

Is my PSD uploaded?
No. The file is read in your browser and never leaves your computer.
Can I edit the text from my PSD?
Not as text: every layer, text included, comes in as an image. Retype the text in smooth.video if you need to change it.
What about Figma, Illustrator or Canva designs?
Export each piece you want to move as a PNG and drop them in. Only PSD files are split into layers automatically.
