StoryMaker

Birthday video maker

Make a birthday video with photos and their favourite song

A birthday video is a collection of moments set to a song that means something. StoryMaker turns photos from across the years and a favourite track into a finished video with a title card for the name and a closing message — in the time it takes to choose the photos.

How to do it

  1. 1

    Choose the song

    Their favourite track, or the one that was playing at the party — as an MP3 or WAV.

  2. 2

    Gather the photos

    Sort by date to go from first birthday to today, or shuffle for a mix.

  3. 3

    Add the name

    A title card such as “Happy 30th, Ana” and a closing card from everyone who chipped in.

  4. 4

    Share it

    Export landscape to play at the party, or vertical to post.

Tips for a better result

Collect photos from everyone

Ask friends and family for two or three favourites each — the variety is what makes it special.

Then and now

Starting with the oldest photo and ending with the newest is a reliable way to get a reaction.

Mind the length

One song is usually right for a party: two to four minutes. The Free plan exports up to two minutes.

Formats

Landscape 16:9 for a TV or projector, vertical 9:16 for Stories, square for a group chat.

Private by design

Private family photos are rendered in your browser and never uploaded.

Ready when your song is.
