AVALAVA: AI Photo and Video

Maybe you want an old photo of your grandmother to move, or two separate pictures in one frame, or a copy of a trending video from your feed. Editing software feels like too much work. AVALAVA puts all of that inside Telegram: open the app, pick a template, upload a photo, wait for the result.

It is a platform for AI photo and AI video. Several neural networks are connected under one roof, so you do not have to hunt for the right one or sign up on a handful of websites. 🎨

Three modes on one screen

AVALAVA gives you three ways to get an image or a clip. Pick the one that fits the job.

• Photo to photo. Send a picture and write what to change or add: new clothes, a different background, another style.
• Photo to video. Upload a frame and describe what should happen. The still image starts to move.
• Text to photo. Describe a scene in words and the image is drawn from scratch.

For your first tries, the photo modes are the easiest. The picture already fixes faces, pose and lighting, so you only need to say what you want.

Templates beat long prompts

The main draw is one-tap templates. You do not have to invent wording: the template already holds the instruction for the neural network, and you add only your own pictures. ⚡️

The classics section includes photo restoration, photo animation, a generations portrait, a polaroid hug, a universal portrait and a passport-style photo. Next to them sit trending ideas, such as hand effects or a heart made of hair, plus a clothing swap for video. Seasonal collections rotate too, for example an autumn photoshoot.

New templates appear regularly, and the project announces them in its official channel. That is also the quickest way to see what is popular right now.

Old pictures get a second life

The warmest use for a platform like this is the family archive. A faded card, scratches, worn corners: restoration cleans up the damage, and animation adds a little motion, a blink, a smile.

For a better result, use a scan or the largest version of the photo, without glare. The face should be fully in the frame and not covered by a hand.

What changes the quality of the result

Neural networks follow a few common rules, and they apply to any app of this kind.

1. A good source. A sharp photo with even light gives a much more believable video than a dark, noisy one.
2. One main subject. With ten people in the frame, faces get distorted more often.
3. A short, clear description. One action in a clip works better than a long script.
4. A few attempts. The network draws slightly differently each time, so the second version is sometimes better than the first.

Passport-style photos and other people's faces

The passport-format template suits an avatar, a casual profile picture or a joke card. It is not made for real documents. Official photos have strict requirements, and an image redrawn by a neural network will not meet them.

Upload only your own photos or pictures of people who agree to the processing. Using strangers' faces is a bad idea, especially in video, because a realistic clip is easy to mistake for real footage. 🙂

Where else the platform lives

Besides Telegram, the project has a web version, and the service is available in another messenger as well. You can start on your phone and continue on a computer with a bigger screen. Inside the bot, /start opens the main menu and /help shows instructions.

If something does not work, contact the project's support: the contact is listed in the bot profile.
