Your child’s art is a window into the their inner world of wonder. Imagine their excitement if their drawings could move! That’s just one of the ways that MagicBrew can bring whimsical ideas to life.

What we love: MagicBrew is an easy-to-use image and video editor that leverages the power of AI. Tap Choose a Photo on the home screen, then go to Customise to describe in words the effects you want to create. You can also enhance your instructions on the More Options page, or forgo a prompt altogether and use a ready-made template like Bring Art to Life, which is designed for children’s drawings. Simply import an image and wait for the magic to happen.

Quick tip: Turn a drawing into a four- or six-panel comic strip and add text in Chinese or English, letting your child read what they’ve created. There are also templates for dance videos, chibi or 3D avatars and other popular AI effects, so adults as well as children can give free rein to their creative impulses.
