Make image alive template
The Make image alive template turns a static image into a marker-based AR experience. Upload the image people will scan, generate a short AI video from it, and publish the result for Web AR or the ARLOOPA app.
Best for
Packaging, posters, books, invitations, menus, and any printed image that should reveal motion after scan.
What it creates
A marker-based experience where the uploaded image becomes the scan target and the generated video plays on top of it.
Publishing options
You can publish this template to Web AR for browser access or to the ARLOOPA app for app-based delivery.
Step by step
How to use the Make image alive template
The template keeps the setup short. You provide the marker image, prompt, and title, then Studio handles the AI generation and publishing flow.
2
Write the motion prompt
Describe the kind of animation you want so the AI video stays close to the original image while adding believable motion.
3
Name the experience and choose delivery
Set the experience title and decide whether you want to publish for Web AR, the ARLOOPA app, or both.
4
Generate and review the video
Studio requests the AI video, waits for the result, and prepares the marker-based experience automatically.
5
Publish and share
Publish the finished experience and share the scan link or app access path with your audience.
Before you start
Prepare a marker image that scans reliably
The best marker images have clear contrast, recognizable details, and enough visual features for tracking. Flat areas with little texture usually scan worse than detailed artwork, packaging, or illustrations.
If the image will also be used for AI video generation, keep the main subject readable and avoid overcrowded compositions that make motion look messy.
- •Use a sharp, high-resolution image with visible edges and details.
- •Keep the main subject centered and easy to recognize.
- •Avoid blurry, repetitive, or very low-contrast source images.
What the template automates
You skip the repeated setup work and start closer to the final result
Instead of building the experience from scratch, the template prepares the marker-based structure for you and connects the generated AI video into the publishing flow.
That makes it useful for quick campaign prototypes, content demos, and print activations where the goal is to move fast without rebuilding the same setup every time.
- •Marker-based experience setup is prepared automatically.
- •The uploaded image is reused as the tracking target.
- •The generated video is inserted into the experience flow before publishing.
Where it fits best
Use this template when the printed image is the main trigger
This workflow works well when the audience already has a clear image to scan and the main effect is to make that printed surface feel alive. It is especially effective for packaging, print media, education, and product storytelling.
- •Product packaging and labels
- •Books, cards, and learning materials
- •Posters, menus, flyers, and event invitations
- •Art prints and promotional visuals
