BEAM allows you to animate still photos, replace backgrounds with AI-generated scenes, and replace or imagine any object within your photos. You can also remove unwanted objects, move elements around, expand photo boundaries, and apply unique filters and effects.
The Animate Photo feature uses AI to bring any photo to life. You can describe the motion you desire, or let the AI decide. This instantly transforms static images into dynamic, animated videos.
The app is free to download and use, offering a range of powerful AI editing features. However, it does include in-app purchases for additional features or content, aligning with a freemium model.
BEAM offers exclusive aesthetic photo filters and effects designed to flatter any image. These range from subtle styles like ‘Pastel Crayon’ to more vibrant options like ‘Tropical Escape’, allowing for creative expression without extensive editing time.
Yes, the Object Remover tool, humorously nicknamed 'Delete Him,' allows you to instantly remove any unwanted photobombers, ex-partners, or distracting elements from your photos. The background is seamlessly filled in after removal.
