WiggleGram Studio interface

Private by design. WiggleGram Studio processes everything locally. Your source photos are never modified and never leave your computer.

From frames to wigglegram

1. Import 2. Align 3. Crop & preview 4. Export
Drop in 2–4 photos from a Nishika N8000 or a similar multi-lens camera. Mark the same visible point on every frame for precise X/Y alignment. Choose the shared visible area, set an aspect ratio, and tune the motion. Save as MP4, GIF, PNG, JPG, TIFF, or an aligned image sequence.

Made for the full wigglegram workflow

Fast frame alignment
Place one anchor point per image. Frames are shifted without stretching or perspective distortion.
Flexible cropping
Use the common visible area, crop freely, or choose 4:3, 3:4, 16:9, and 9:16 presets.
Live motion preview
Switch between ping-pong and loop playback, then adjust frame timing until the motion feels right.
Smooth interpolation
Optionally generate in-between frames with FFmpeg optical flow for softer movement.
Multiple export formats
Create H.264 MP4, GIF, or aligned PNG, JPG, and TIFF sequences for print and lenticular workflows.
No external dependencies
Release builds include FFmpeg. Users do not need Homebrew or a separate FFmpeg installation.
English and Russian UI
The interface follows the system language and can be switched at any time.
Built-in update checks
The app checks GitHub Releases and shows a link when a newer version is available.
