Make a Christmas video from your photos, right in WhatsApp
A Christmas video is one of the easiest gifts to give: the photos are already on your phone. Send them to the Niviz chat on WhatsApp, tell us who the film is for, and a few minutes later a short film with gentle motion, music and small captions comes back in the same chat. No app, no account, no editing, and nothing to ship.

How to make a Christmas video on WhatsApp.
Send your photos to the Niviz chat, add a line like "Christmas for Grandma", and a short film with music comes back in a few minutes.
Pick your photos
Choose the photos you want: the year with the kids, the family together, last Christmas. Send them in the order you want them to play, up to 150.
Send them to Niviz on WhatsApp
Open the chat and send the photos as pictures, in as many messages as you like. Add a few words: who the film is for, and a line you would like in it, for example "Merry Christmas from all of us". Then tap "Yes, make my film".
Watch your free preview
Your whole film arrives in the chat within minutes, with a light watermark. Change one thing free if you want: the music, the title, remove up to 3 photos, or the captions.
Get the clean film and give it
Pay with PayPal and receive the film without the watermark. Save it, then send it on Christmas morning, or play it on the TV.

- The kids' year.First day of school, the beach, the birthday cake. Sent to the people who missed it.
- A first Christmas together.For a partner: the photos of your year, in the order it happened.
- Remembering someone at Christmas.Photos of a person you miss, made into a quiet film for the family. Tell us in a few words and the music stays calm.
What a Niviz film looks like.
This one is a trip, not Christmas, but every Niviz film is made the same way: your photos, in your order, with music and short captions.

What is in this film
What is in this film
The title "Wild British Columbia" with "A wildlife trip", then each photo in order. Captions: "face to face", "mossy and green", "hiding in the forest", "into the river", "a quiet meal", "a great splash", "the last light"; film-strip and rounded prints for "a little snack" and "close together". Adventure music, a closing grid with "Until the next wild trail", then "Made with Niviz".
Tips for a better Christmas film.
Fewer, better photos in a clear order make the strongest film.
- 15 to 50 photos make a film of about 45 seconds to 2 minutes, which most people watch to the end.
- Put the photos in the order you want them: by month, or ending with this Christmas.
- Tell us who it is for and the words you want, for example "For Grandma and Grandpa". Names and dates appear only if you write them.
- Send them as photos, not as documents. Videos are not used.
About the music and AI. The music is generated with AI to fit your film, and the captions are written with AI from what your photos show and what you told us. Your photos themselves are never generated or changed. Every film ends with a short "Made with Niviz" card of about two seconds.

Frequently asked questions
Can I make a Christmas video on WhatsApp without an app?
Yes. You send your photos to the Niviz chat on WhatsApp and the film comes back in the same chat. No app, no account, no editing.
Will it be ready in time for Christmas?
Most previews arrive within a few minutes of tapping "Yes, make my film"; films with many photos take longer. There is nothing to ship, so even a last-minute gift works, but please do not leave it to the last hour.
Does the film have Christmas music?
The music is made with AI to fit the mood of your film, and you can switch between calm, happy and epic for free. We cannot promise a particular carol or song.
Can I give the film as a gift?
Yes. You receive an MP4 file you can save and forward on WhatsApp, or show on a TV. The download link works for 7 days, so save the film once you have it.
How many photos can I send?
Up to 150 for one film, across as many messages as you like. Photos must be sent as pictures; videos and photos sent as documents are not used.
Will you change my photos or add things to them?
No. We never create people, places or scenes, never change faces, and never add or remove anything inside a photo. Every photo is used, in the order you sent it.
Can I include photos of the grandchildren?
Yes, if you have the right to share them. For photos of children, you need to be their parent or guardian or have one's permission. See our photo consent page.
How and when do I pay?
By PayPal, only after you have watched your free preview and want the clean film. The price depends on how many photos you send.
This Christmas, give them the year in a film.
Send the photos, watch the preview free, and decide.
