Groovely turns your photos into AI dance videos

Groovely turns your photos into AI dance videos

Groovely is an iPhone app that uses AI to put anyone in the middle of a dance video. You upload a single photo, choose from a library of viral TikTok moves and classic choreography, and the app generates a fluid, beat-synced clip ready for TikTok, Instagram Reels, or wherever you post short-form video.

The dance library is updated regularly with new trends and sounds, so you are not stuck reusing the same templates. Output is vertical and short-form by default, which matches how most social platforms serve AI-generated content today.

Groovely is free to download with in-app purchases for coins and a weekly subscription. If you want to experiment with photo-to-video animation without filming yourself, it is one of the more direct consumer apps in that niche.
