Browser-based motion studio
Frame Studio turns a flat screenshot into a cinematic motion video, with camera, lighting and reflections included. No install, no render queue, no keyframes.

The idea
A product video used to mean a motion designer, an invoice, and a week. Frame Studio collapses that into a screenshot, a camera move, and about two minutes, rendered on your own machine, so nothing you haven't shipped yet ever leaves it.
934 families
Hand-tuned camera paths: orbits, parallax pushes, tilts and locked-off hero holds. Each one has its own timing and easing.

What's inside
A motion studio that fits in a browser tab.
Everything a product video needs: camera, lighting, optics, type and sound, with none of the parts that make video software feel like video software.
00193 cinematic motions
Three kinds, one library. 40 single-plane camera moves — orbits, parallax push-ins, tilts, hero holds. 40 multi-plane compositions that arrange several images at once. 13 loops that never stop. Click one and it is already animating.
OrbitPush-inTiltHero hold
002Several images, one shot
Multi-plane compositions put 13 arrangements at your disposal — side by side, stacked, three columns, a six-tile grid, a feature panel with smaller ones beside it, or an angled marquee. Every panel is exactly your chosen aspect, and drag a divider to re-proportion it.
003Loops that never cut
13 compositions that move forever: Carousel, Flip, Wheel, Grid, Spiral, Stack, Scatter. Drop in a gallery and it is dealt round the cards, repeating to fill them. Speed is its own control, independent of clip length, and the editor tells you when the clip ends on a whole turn so the export loops without a jump.
004Images and video, both
Drop a screenshot, a mockup, a design export, or a screen recording. 6 image formats and 5 video formats map straight onto the 3D surface.

005A real timeline
Chain motions into a sequence. Trim, reorder, duplicate, and re-time clips, with undo/redo and keyboard shortcuts. Your timeline survives a page reload.

006HDR studio lighting
Six HDR environments (Studio, Sunset, Night, Rooftop, Sky, Snow) light the scene and cast real reflections. Rotate the environment, soften it, or dial the reflection strength down to nothing.

007Cinematic optics
Depth of field with focus and aperture control, ACES tone mapping, vignette, and a soft backdrop shadow. These are the details that separate "rendered" from "filmed".

Add text per clip or across the whole video, with slide-in directions, colour, and an adjustable glow. Set once, apply to all.

Drop an audio file, trim it to the segment you want, and it is encoded into the exported MP4 as AAC, already in sync with the video.

01
Drop your media
Drag a screenshot, mockup, or screen recording onto the canvas. It becomes a 3D surface instantly.
02
Pick a motion
Choose from 93 motions — one plane, several, or a loop that never stops. The preview animates as you click, so you are choosing by eye, not by name.
03
Make it yours
Set the frame, background, lighting, and depth of field. Add captions and a music track. Chain more clips onto the timeline.
04
Export
Choose a resolution up to 4K (2160p) and hit export. Encoding happens on your machine, and the file lands in your downloads.
Every format
One asset. Every frame it has to fit.
5 export ratios and 12 named platform presets. Reframing is a dropdown, not a re-edit, so the vertical cut actually gets made.

16:9The part people miss
The frame and the surface are two separate things.
The frame is the video you export. The surface is the shape of the plane inside it. You set them independently. That is how a widescreen dashboard goes into a vertical TikTok frame without being cropped to ribbons.

Who it's for
Built for people who ship things.
Frame Studio exists because a good product video is usually the thing that gets cut when the launch date arrives.
01Indie founders
Launch day, without the launch-day budget
A Product Hunt hero video or an App Store preview, made the morning you ship it, not commissioned three weeks earlier.
02SaaS teams
Every changelog gets a video
Feature announcements stop being a screenshot and a paragraph. Same screenshot, thirty seconds of work, something people actually stop scrolling for.
03Designers
Portfolio work that moves
Dribbble shots, case study headers, and client presentations, presented in motion instead of flat on a white background.
04Marketers
Ad creative at the speed of testing
One asset, 5 aspect ratios, 12 platform presets. Spin up variants for each placement without a designer in the loop.
05Content creators
Intros and B-roll on demand
YouTube intros, channel stings, and the 3D product shots that usually mean either stock footage or a favour.
06Developers
READMEs that sell the project
A looping motion clip at the top of your README or docs page does more than a static screenshot ever did, and it took two minutes.
How it compares

Every tool here is good at something. This is the honest version of which job each one is actually for.

Compiled August 2026 from each product's publicly published documentation. Screen Studio is the better tool if what you want is a polished screen recording; Blender is the better tool if you need unlimited control and have time to learn it. Frame Studio is for the case in between. One good motion clip, from an image you already have, today.

Privacy
Your media never leaves your machine.
Frame Studio renders and encodes locally, in the browser tab. Files you drop in are not uploaded to a server for processing, there is no queue to wait in, and nothing to delete afterwards. Unreleased product screenshots stay unreleased.
Pricing
Free to start. Cheap to keep.
The free tier is the whole editor, not a crippled demo. You upgrade to drop the watermark and unlock 4K, not to unlock the useful half.
Lifetime access is $79 for the first 100 people. After that it is $129.

Prices in USD. Payments handled by Stripe, so we never see your card. Cancel a monthly plan any time; lifetime never needs cancelling. The founding lifetime price is limited to the first 100 purchases — whatever you pay is the last payment you make, whichever side of that line you land on.
01Do I need to install anything?
No. Frame Studio runs entirely in your browser. There is nothing to download, no plugin, and no account required to start. Open the app and drop in an image.
02Do I need video editing experience?
No. There are no keyframes to set and no motion curves to author. You pick a pre-built camera motion, and the animation, lighting, and reflections come with it. The timeline is there when you want to chain several motions together, but a single-clip video needs nothing but a file and a click.
03What can I upload?
Images in JPG, PNG, GIF, WebP, BMP, AVIF, and video in MP4, WebM, MOV, M4V, OGV. Screenshots, app mockups, design exports, and screen recordings all work. Anything that can be a texture on a 3D surface will do.
04What quality can I export?
MP4 (H.264) or WebM, at 720p, 1080p, 1440p, 2160p, and 24, 30, 60fps. 720p and 1080p are free; 2K and 4K are Pro. MP4 exports can add real accumulation motion blur (sub-frames averaged across the shutter, not a post-process fake). Stills export as PNG, JPG, WebP, and PNG or WebP can be exported with a transparent background.
05Where does the rendering happen?
On your own machine. Frame Studio renders with WebGPU and encodes with the WebCodecs API in your browser, so your media is never uploaded to a server to be processed. There is no render queue and no waiting your turn. Export speed is your hardware, not our capacity.
06What is the difference between Free and Pro?
Free gives you 44 motions, exports up to 1080p, and every editing feature, with a small watermark on exported video. Pro removes the watermark, unlocks all 93 motions — single-plane, multi-plane and loops — and enables 2K and 4K export.
07Is the lifetime plan really one payment?
Yes. $79 once, and Pro stays on, including future updates. No renewal, no per-export cost. That price is the founding one — it is for the first 100 people, and then lifetime access becomes $129. Whichever price you paid, it is the last payment you make.
08Which browsers are supported?
Recent versions of Chrome and Edge give the best results, since MP4 export uses the WebCodecs API. Firefox and Safari work too, with WebM as the export format where WebCodecs is unavailable.
09Can I use the videos commercially?
Yes. Videos you make in Frame Studio are yours, on both Free and Pro, including for client and commercial work. Free exports carry a watermark; Pro exports do not.
10Can I add my own music?
Yes. Upload an audio file, trim it to the segment you want, and it is encoded into the exported MP4 as an AAC track, synced to the video length.
