Bring your images to life with Live Photos.

Do you have old photos of parents or grandparents, but no videos? Whilst we wish there was some way to hear their voices again, there is a way to see them animated, and bring those images to life.

Bare has worked with D-ID, the creators of this technology, to bring Live Photos to you, our customers. Photos are such an important way to help preserve memories, and with Live Photos, you have an extra special way to remember a loved one.

What is a Live Photo?

Live Photos uses cutting-edge artificial intelligence technology to animate images. It breathes life to portraits of loved ones by animating their head movements, eyes and facial expressions. It truly feels like magic watching the photos come to life.

There are even different animation styles; you can choose between Nostalgia, Fun, or Dance animations.

Can I use any photo?

Once you enter your details and start the process, we will show you some tips and suggestions on which photos will work best. Generally you would want a portrait image, with the person looking directly at the camera, not tilting their head.

You can also use group photos, where up to 5 people can be animated! With group photos, the animation is automatic, meaning you can’t choose between animation styles.

Is there a cost involved?

Thanks to our partnership with D-ID, your first three images are all on us and totally free. If you want to create more than three Live Photos, there is a small cost involved.

How can I create my own Live Photos?

It’s a very simple process.

  1. Upload your image.
  2. Choose your animation style.
  3. View, download and share your photo.

Your Live Photo will be easily shareable on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram, so you can show it off to friends and family. Or, you can just download to your device and keep for yourself.
