🎂 How to make a birthday video with photos

A birthday video is one of the easiest and most touching gifts you can make. All you need are some photos of the person, a song they like and a few minutes. This guide shows you how to do it with Escenko, with nothing to install.

Step by step

1. Gather 8 to 20 photos of the person: as a child, with friends, with family and a recent one. Sort them from oldest to newest to tell a little story.
2. Open Escenko and tap “Tell me what video you want”. Type something like “a birthday video for my mom, who turns 50”. The assistant detects the type of video, the name and the age.
3. Pick a style: heartfelt to bring happy tears, fun for a friend, or elegant for a formal celebration.
4. Add your photos from your gallery. Escenko puts them in order and adds gentle motion so they don’t look static.
5. Look at the proposals and pick your favorite. Then you can change the texts, add more emojis or make the video shorter or longer.
6. Add music in the Sound tab. You can record your voice with a special message at the end.
7. Tap “Create video”, wait a few seconds and download it. Now send it on WhatsApp or post it on social media.

Tips

• Put the most special photo at the end, right before the birthday message.
• A 30–60 second video is ideal: long enough to move people without boring them.
• For Instagram or TikTok, choose the vertical 9:16 format.

With a few photos and a good message, a birthday video becomes a memory the person will keep forever.
