What is the nesting doll GIF maker?
It puts up to three faces on a row of painted nesting dolls, big, middle and small, like the wooden matryoshka dolls that fit inside each other. The dolls rock gently from side to side, each a little after the one before, and the loop never stops.
Each doll is a 3D model with a glossy lacquer finish, a headscarf, a gold band at the waist and painted flowers on the apron. Your photo sits in the oval where the painted face would be, so it looks like part of the doll.
How to make a nesting doll GIF
- Add a photo for the big doll. Usually the tallest or oldest person.
- Add the middle and small dolls. Or leave them empty to repeat the first face.
- Make the GIF. It is ready in a few seconds.
- Send it. Download it, or share it to the family chat.
Tips for sweet dolls
- Use close-up faces. The ovals are small. A face that fills the photo stays recognisable.
- Centre each face. Photos are cropped from the middle into an oval.
- Go biggest to smallest. Parent, child, baby. Or you, your partner and your pet.
- Match the light. Photos with similar brightness look like one set of dolls.
- Only two people? The gift box and the heart lockets are made for pairs.
When to send one
Families. Three generations, or three siblings from oldest to youngest.
Mother’s Day and Father’s Day. A parent with their kids, one doll each.
Pets. A dog, a cat and a hamster in order of size is hard not to smile at.
