A face beside your name
In an email that is otherwise still, your photo is what moves, right next to your name and how to reach you.
Animated photos
Your photo, animated in every email.
Upload a photo and it moves the way its design was drawn to: a band of light, a wipe, three pills assembling. Every email you send arrives with a face that catches the eye.
Free for a month. No card needed.
See it in action
One photo, every motion.
The same photograph through six of the designs' nine motions: a band of light, an iris, a wipe, three pills assembling, a lean, an oval opening. Each design carries one, chosen for its shape.
Eclipse: three pills assemble into the photo.
Prism: a band of light crosses the photo.
Vertex: the photo wipes up into place.
Velocity: the photo opens across, on the frame's lean.
Radiance: a light crosses an oval portrait.
Essence: the photo opens from its centre.
What it does for you
A motion for every design
Nine motions, each drawn for its design's shape: a light across an oval portrait, three pills assembling, a wipe on a lean.
Sharp on a phone
Rendered at twice the size it is drawn, so a retina screen downsamples it instead of blurring it.
Ready in seconds
Rendered in your browser from your original file. No upload queue, no waiting for a server to finish.
Up close
At the size it arrives.
Drawn at 1:1, the way a recipient sees it. Made from your original photo at twice that size and held under 250KB, so it is sharp on a phone and light enough to go out with every email.

- Your name, title and links stay real text; only the photo, logo and icons are images.

Questions
Questions, answered
Do animated photos work in Outlook?
Current Outlook plays them unless animation effects are switched off in Windows. Older Outlook for Windows shows only the first frame, which is the finished photo, so the signature still looks complete.
Can I choose a different motion for my design?
Each design carries the one motion it was drawn for. To change the motion, choose a different design: your details and photo carry across.
Will an animated photo make my emails heavy?
No. Each animation is held under 250KB, and a whole signature comes to about a quarter of a megabyte. The image is hosted, so it is not attached to every email.
What kind of photo works best?
A head and shoulders photo with some space around you, evenly lit. You crop it when you upload, and the motion is applied to that square.
