What it does
Vectorises a logo image into clean SVG, animates it, and produces an interactive HTML preview so you can see the motion before committing — packaged as a skill for Codex or Claude Code. Complex or photographic marks vectorise poorly. Logos are usually trademarks: animating someone else's without permission is a rights problem regardless of how good the output looks. A commercial service is advertised alongside the free skill. MIT.

pixel2motion FAQ

- Do I need to install anything or write code to use pixel2motion?
- It needs the command line. If you are not comfortable typing commands, expect to get stuck during setup.
- Does pixel2motion work on a phone?
- No. It needs a computer.
- Can I use pixel2motion commercially?
- The licence is MIT, which permits commercial use. Conditions such as keeping the copyright notice still apply, so read the licence text before shipping it inside something.
