About AnimationAPI
AnimationAPI is a browser-based tool for producing launch visuals for apps and products. You drop in a UI design, screenshot or screen recording, place it on a photoreal 3D device such as a phone or tablet, and get back animations and still images sized for ProductHunt, the App Store and Google Play. The directory tagline describes an API for generating animated videos at scale, while the homepage focuses on the editor.
Motion presets include orbits, dollies, floats and scroll stories, and you can scrub a timeline and adjust sliders. Exports match store specifications, such as ProductHunt gallery images, App Store screenshots and previews, and Play feature graphics. Rendering happens locally with WebGPU, so media never leaves the browser, and there is no sign-up or render queue. The editor is free to open and works in current versions of Chrome, Edge, Safari and Firefox. AnimationAPI is a proprietary product from an independent vendor.
