How it works
Create in 3 Simple Steps
Upload Your Card
Snap or upload the birthday invitation you already designed. Paper or digital, it all works.
Add a Voice (Optional)
Pick a narrator (gender and age) to read the invitation out loud, or keep it beautifully silent.
Preview, Approve, Send
Preview the first frame. Approve, and your looping animated invitation is ready for the group chat.
Why video invites win
Static cards get scrolled. Moving cards get RSVPs.
In a busy family group chat, a still image is one thumb-flick from oblivion. A looping video invitation autoplays, catches the eye, and gets tapped. Same card, same details. Dramatically more attention.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I animate a birthday invitation I already made?
Upload a photo of the card to Zance and pick the Birthday Card template. The AI animates the decorations while keeping your text crisp, adds an optional narrated voiceover, and outputs a seamlessly looping video.
Will the text on my invitation stay readable?
Yes, that's the point of the template. Decorations animate, but names, dates, and details stay sharp and static so guests can actually read them.
Can the invitation be read out loud?
Yes. Add an optional voiceover and choose the narrator's gender and age. Or skip it for a silent looping animation.
What if there's a photo of the birthday kid on the card?
Real people on the card are automatically converted to a colored illustration first. It keeps the card charming and privacy-friendly.
How do credits work?
Zance runs on simple credits. You see a first-frame preview of your animated card and can retake it. The credit is only charged when you approve.
Make the invite they can't ignore.
A moving card gets opened, replied to, and remembered. No credit is charged until you approve the preview.
