Turn your photos into motion. Relay finds the sequences hiding in your camera roll and loops them into animations—no setup, no upload, no fuss. Scroll through your library and watch moments come alive. Tweak the speed, swap frames in or out, or shoot something new with the built-in camera designed for stop motion and time lapse animations. Export as a GIF or video and share anywhere. **Everything runs on your device. Private by default.** Your first day with Relay is all-access. After that, animations are limited to the most recent 365 days. A Relay+ subscription unlocks the rest, removes our watermark on export, and helps us continue development.

Now I have use for all of my (semi)repeat pics that have slight variations, as now they have a home, coming to life together making them much more fun to look at! Love this app! ### 5/5 — Love this app! *2025-11-30* Such a great way to capture moments and bring the story back to life. I’m always creating relays from trips and sending them to friends a few months later just to relive the vibe. I love this app! ### 5/5 — Best App *2025-11-30* Easy and fun to use! So many options to bring multitude of photos to life. ### 5/5 — This is Proper App Design *2025-11-30* Slick interface and simple to use. No bloat, just a hyper-focus on doing what it does and doing it well. The way the home screen auto-populates with sequences of images you’ve already taken is brilliant ### 5/5 — A new way of sharing my photos! *2025-11-22* I downloaded this app and it was amazing how easy it was to use! I was able to select ready made “photos in motion” to tell the story of moments, experiences and my life! It is such a fun way to document everything! ### 5/5 — So much fun!! *2025-11-15* Super fun app. Love the camera function. Been making stop motion vids all morning! Love that I can easily export old memories too and send to my friends and family. They are all tickled by it. Haven’t had this much fun with an app in years!! ### 5/5 — Fantastic fun! *2025-11-15* I love this app! When I saw all my photos come to life, it was awesome! I typically just snap away when taking pictures and end up with a handful of them at minimum. Having them animated into a movie of gif is great! ### 5/5 — Great photo compilation app. *2025-11-13* Relay is an excellent way to share quick updates about family activities without having to sift through all your photos. It can also export directly to Instagram and Facebook, which is very convenient. ### 5/5 — Relay Rocks! *2025-11-13* Relay is amazing!! I never thought a still photo could come to life when combined with other photos! I have a small child, and you know I’ve taken 10-15 photos in seconds to get that one great shot! Now with Relay, I also have small “video like” memory captures!! Thank you to the creators of Relay, this is so much fun! ### 5/5 — Unique, Fun & innovative! *2025-11-10* Takes a bunch of pics that are maybe not great on their own and makes them fun. Really brings the memories back to life. Cool design and interactions when viewing your own photo library. Better take than Apple’s on the idea of “live” photos. ## Frequently asked questions about Relay ### How does Relay animate my photos?
