Levende: Drawings That Dance

Scan a drawing and watch it dance, or draw a car and watch it drive. Print it as a paper puppet too. It all happens on your iPhone or iPad.

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 the kitchen table in AR, 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 iPhone or iPad. 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: stand the figures on your table or floor and pinch to make them bigger • Record a video and save it to Photos or share it • On iPad the stage gets the whole big screen, with every move right beside it
