Pixelcut

Pixelcut is a developer tool that turns one still image into a seamless looping video via API. A developer API from Pixelcut that converts a single still image into a seamless 5 to 15 second looping MP4, using either subtle natural motion or a full 360 degree spin with a fixed camera.

Pixelcut's Looping Video API takes a single still image and returns a seamless 5 to 15 second MP4 that plays back in an endless loop without a visible jump or cut. Two motion styles are available. The default subtle mode animates only elements that would plausibly move in a photograph: clothing and hair in a light breeze, drifting foliage, rising steam, shimmering reflections or ambient particles. The spin mode rotates the subject through a full 360 degrees and lands exactly on the starting frame, which gives isolated products and people a turntable effect while the camera itself stays fixed. The product is built for developers and technical teams who need motion media at catalog scale. E-commerce and apparel teams can turn approved product shots into looping hero media or generate angle variants without booking a turntable shoot. Marketing groups can produce endless looping backgrounds and lightweight motion creatives without a video crew. Because the camera never pans, zooms, tilts or reframes, the output reads as a living photograph rather than a generated clip, and subject identity, product geometry, text, logos and lighting are preserved in subtle mode. In practice you submit one request with exactly one image source (a multipart file, a base64 or data URL string, or a remote image_url), plus optional parameters for a short motion prompt, duration, resolution, motion style and audio. The endpoint returns 202 Accepted with a job ID; you poll the status endpoint from the Location header until the job completes, then pull the MP4 from result_url. Creative prompts that would break the loop or move the camera are ignored automatically. Positioning is narrow on purpose. Pixelcut is not a general text to video generator and does not offer scene changes, camera movement or long-form footage. It sits closer to product photography tooling, competing with manual turntable shoots and generic image animation services, and it appeals where loop continuity and fidelity to the source photo matter more than creative range.
