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.
