Photo animation API: animate old photos in your app
Everything above runs on the same public API. Send a photo, get a short natural video back, and plug it into your own product, website or internal tool.
POST /v1/animations from a file or an image URL, optional motion prompt.
GET /v1/animations/{id} for the status and the video link.
Signed webhooks when a video is ready, idempotency keys for safe retries.
A ready-made Postman collection to try every route.
Set it up
1Create an API key on your Incarn developer page.
2Send your first photo with the example from the documentation or the Postman collection.
3Receive the video by webhook, or ask for its status.
