About & Highlights of VIMAGE - Cinemagraph Animator Live Photo Editor APK
Liven up your photos with this app
VIMAGE
is a
multimedia
application that lets you
enhance
your photos by creating a
living photo
. A living photo is a
hybrid
of photo and video done by
overlaying pre-made looped animation
effects on your still images. It offers a fun yet simple way to experiment with your pictures to make it stand out. Moreover, it gets some of the same benefits of
short videos
on
social media
, such as longer viewing and higher engagement.

Changing your creative process
Using VIMAGE is like adding filters on your
photos. You select the image from your gallery, choose one from the catalog of more than
70 built-in effects
, and then edit the effects. Among the editing processes that you can do is repositioning, rotating, and duplicating. You can also mask and remove the effects, as well as adjust the speed, color, blur, brightness, and saturation. You can do all these using the
simple slider controls
.
Once you are done, VIMAGE will generate a video file in
MP4 format
, which you can save on your phone or
share
with your social media accounts. The
free version
allows you to overlay one effect to a photo with a prominent watermark. The photos edited using this version will also have a lower resolution. To add two or more effects and to remove the watermark, you need to buy the
premium version
. Both the free and paid version lets you create
as many living photos
as you want, however.
VIMAGE is a tool for users who are not that knowledgeable in advanced
image editing
software. However, while it
simplifies the process
of creating living photos, it does come with some
usability issues
. The most frustrating one is the lack of calibration in the mask tool. You touch the screen in one area, but the masking effect registers millimeters off. This hard brush control results in some obvious and unconvincing effects. It also does not help that some of the effects are not that useful.
A great photo editing tool
Despite the usability issues and limited effects, VIMAGE is still a great
photography
tool. Not only does it help in livening up your photos but it can also be good for
rebooting your old ones
. More serious photographers may turn to other apps like
Flixel
or
Plotagraph
because all the elements in the photo are theirs and not pre-made. However, if you are a novice user, VIMAGE is your best bet to have an
outstanding living photo
.
