Picsart’s AI-powered GIF Creator Revives the Fun of Animation
If you’re feeling nostalgic for the early days of AI hype, when people were busy creating silly images with text prompts, Picsart has a solution for you. The widely-used image editor has recently introduced an AI-driven tool that can generate animated GIFs.
The main difference between previous text-to-image platforms like DALL-E and Picsart’s new tool is animation. DALL-E is best known for making static images, while Picsart’s software creates animated GIFs, just like the ones you’ve been posting in group chats and social media platforms for years. Now, though, you don’t have to look for your favorite It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia characters doing weird things. You can just come up with those weird things. You can even get two cats to arm wrestle.
Picsart calls the tool its “most popular” platform, and it works exactly as you’d expect. Type a bunch of gibberish into the chat box, wait a moment and marvel at your “chaotic and eccentric” creation. The platform is integrated with the standard Picsart app and is available for iOS devices, Android devices and the web. You can download the GIF directly to your device to share in your group chat or send anywhere else.
The images created by this platform are on the cartoon side, so don’t expect photorealism. However, that just adds to the fun. Picsart’s AI GIF generator is available right now, so let the nonsense begin. Just don’t use these tools to create opening credits for a hugely expensive TV show based on popular cartoon characters.
