Ideas for Christmas videos
- A family greeting: a few seconds of everyone waving, with snow and your names. It’s a card that moves, and it costs nothing to post.
- Kids opening presents or decorating the tree, sent to grandparents who couldn’t be there.
- The pets in their Christmas jumpers. A photo works: FitVideo turns it into a 3, 5 or 10 second clip with snow falling over it.
- Small businesses: a seasonal post for your shop, café or salon, with your own message.
Snow on a photo or a video
Drop in a photo and you get a short video of it with snow falling, perfect for a Christmas card you can send on WhatsApp. Drop in a video and the snow falls over the whole clip, while the original sound is kept. The flakes drift and sway at different sizes and speeds, so near ones look bigger and faster, like real snow.
MP4 or GIF?
MP4 keeps the full picture and the original sound, and is the best choice for WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook and TikTok. GIF loops silently in any chat or email, even where videos don’t autoplay; keep GIFs short (up to 10 seconds) and small, because they’re much bigger than MP4s.
Private: your photos and videos stay on your device
Family videos and photos of children don’t belong on someone else’s server. FitVideo makes the Christmas video inside your browser, so nothing is uploaded, and there’s no account, no watermark and no limit on how many you make.
Want a different look? Try fireworks for New Year, or snow on its own without a greeting.
