Practical overview
When it fits
Use Pixel2Motion when a logo begins as a PNG, JPG, WebP, or screenshot and the desired workflow includes both vector fitting and animated previews, with files for reviewing the fitting and motion.
Who it is for
- Designers and developers creating animated brand marks from raster logo files.
- Teams that want to review vector fitting before adding logo motion.
- Codex or Claude users working on SVG logo reveals and HTML motion previews.
Documented uses
- Reconstruct a raster logo as a clean SVG structured for animation.
- Create logo animation and an interactive HTML showcase.
- Export GIF or video previews for reviewing or sharing a motion draft.
- Keep fitting overlays, rendered frames, and motion notes alongside the deliverables.
Requirements & limits
The skill is presented as open source under the MIT license. The repository documents local CLI-oriented tooling and browser-rendering prerequisites.
- The documented workflow uses Python 3.10+, Pillow, and NumPy for image-analysis helpers.
- Geometry and HTML rendering call for Chrome or Chromium; deterministic frame capture and motion continuity QA call for Playwright.
- The repository describes the skill for Codex and Claude and does not establish an API.
- The static vector is fitted and reviewed before motion is authored, so vector quality is part of the workflow rather than a step to skip.
Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.
Set up Pixel2Motion's local rendering tools
Prepare the documented Python and browser dependencies for local geometry rendering and HTML or motion checks.
Before you start
- Python 3.10 or later
- A virtual environment
- Pillow and NumPy
- Chrome or Chromium
- Playwright
Steps
Create a Python virtual environment.
Install Pillow, NumPy, and Playwright in that environment.
Use Playwright to install Chromium.
If Chrome is not on the default path, set CHROME_BIN to its executable path before running render checks.
Expected outcome
A local environment with the dependencies listed for rendering and deterministic frame-capture checks.
Guide limitations
- This documents dependency setup only; it does not verify a successful installation or animation run.
- The supplied setup instructions do not document a specific operating-system matrix.
