How to use Slowly Reveal a PNG
- 1. Upload the PNG. Add the source image you want to animate, such as photo.png, so the tool can build a progressive reveal sequence from it.
- 2. Choose the reveal style. Pick a Reveal style, Wipe down, Wipe up, Wipe right or Fade in, deciding the direction or method the image gradually appears by.
- 3. Set frame count and delay. Enter Number of frames, such as 12, to control how gradual the reveal looks, and Frame delay (ms) to set the speed each frame plays at.
- 4. Download the animated PNG. Save the result, such as photo-reveal.png, an animated PNG that wipes into view, once the reveal timing and direction match what you want.
When to use Slowly Reveal a PNG
Slowly Reveal a PNG exports an animated PNG that reveals a still image progressively over time, using a wipe or fade sequence built from a single source file. It turns a static graphic into a small self-contained animation without any video editing software.
- Building an animated loading placeholder. A page wants a lightweight animated graphic that reveals content progressively while a real image finishes loading. A wipe-down animation built from photo.png fits that role.
- Adding motion to a portfolio thumbnail. A portfolio site wants its project thumbnails to gently reveal themselves as an eye-catching animated effect instead of appearing all at once.
- Creating a teaser animation for a product image. A product launch wants a short, self-contained animated reveal of the hero shot for a social media post, built with a fade-in sequence over 12 frames.
Examples
