Levende: Drawings That Dance

Levende brings your kids' drawings to life.

Scan the drawing from the fridge, and Levende cuts out the figure, gives it a skeleton and makes it wave, walk, jump and dance. Put several figures together on a stage, or stand them on your kitchen table in the camera view, and record a video you can keep and send to Grandma. Draw a car, a bus or a train, and it drives round the stage on turning wheels.

Everything happens on your phone. Drawings, photos and videos are never uploaded: no account, no cloud, no tracking and no ads. Your kids' drawings stay theirs.

HOW IT WORKS
• Scan a drawing with the camera, take a photo or pick a picture
• The figure is cut out automatically – touch it up with the brush if an arm is missing
• Levende finds the head, arms and legs and gives the figure a skeleton you can adjust by dragging the dots
• Pick from 20 moves: wave, walk, run, jump, dance, dab, jump rope, boxing, float, zombie and more
• Cars, buses and trains: Levende finds the wheels, and they drive round the stage, honk and do wheelies
• Print a figure as a paper puppet: cut it out, join it with split pins and pull the string
• Tap the floor and the figure walks there
• Music and sound effects – turn each on or off
• Tap the figures you want to dance and give each its own move
• 13 sample drawings to try, and a short guide to drawing a figure that can dance
• Put several figures on the stage and pick a background: paper, garden, night or studio
• AR: put the figures on the camera picture of your table or floor, and pinch to make them bigger
• Record a video and save it to your gallery or share it
