SpatialLoop

Features
Read full description

Turn any photo into a looping parallax video -- right on your phone, in seconds. Pick a photo. SpatialLoop reads its depth and builds a smooth, seamless parallax loop you can share anywhere video works: Stories, Reels, messages, wherever. HOW IT WORKS Choose a photo from your library. SpatialLoop analyzes it on-device and generates a subtle depth-based motion -- foreground and background drift at different speeds, the way a real spatial photo would. Adjust the motion style and intensity, then export a square video that loops perfectly with no jump cut. ON-DEVICE, BY DESIGN Nothing you pick ever leaves your phone. The whole pipeline -- depth analysis, motion, rendering -- runs locally. There's no account, no upload, no server round-trip. FREE TO USE Every export is free, watermarked, ready to share immediately. Pick a photo, preview the loop, export -- that's the whole flow. WHAT IT ISN'T SpatialLoop doesn't edit photos, apply filters, or replace a video editor. It does one thing: turn a single flat photo into a shareable looping video.
