Testimonials

Hear what our users have to say

"Built my entire app in two weeks using Magic Hour's API. JoyLoop creates personalized musical GIFs - users describe an occasion, and it generates custom animations, lyrics, and the final video. The API was straightforward enough that I integrated it solo alongside Stripe, OpenAI, and music APIs. Already processing real customer orders."

"I typically try to avoid AI as I want to focus on human-made creativity in my digital projects. But animating takes time and I'm not very good at it, so I found a free AI animation tool to take the hard work away and produce some great results for me. Magic Hour GIF generator is a cool tool for quick generation and all it takes is a text prompt and credits to generate an animated result."

"Most weeks I'm creating 30-40 GIFs for social and email campaigns. Used to take me all day in After Effects. Now I'm done by lunch and the quality is honestly just as good for what we need."

"Tested probably a dozen GIF tools before this. Most either looked janky or took forever to render. Magic Hour's the only one where I consistently get results I'm not embarrassed to post."
