How it works

Three simple steps to create your time-lapse

📸

1. Capture or Upload

Use your webcam to capture frames live, or drag-and-drop thousands of existing photos to build a time-lapse from your own images. Pro users get motion detection and bulk upload.

☁️

2. Cloud Processing

Images are uploaded in batches to the cloud. Each frame is timestamped and organized by session — whether captured live or imported in bulk.

🎬

3. Create

Generate a smooth 30 FPS time-lapse video or animated GIF with one click. Download when ready.

Pro Feature

Bulk photo upload

Already have photos from a DSLR, GoPro, or phone? Drag-and-drop them straight into Lapseleap. Upload tens of thousands of images at once — the chunked upload engine keeps your browser smooth while files stream to the cloud.

📥 Drag & drop

Drop a folder of photos or select files — JPEG and PNG supported.

⚡ Chunked uploads

Files are presigned and uploaded in small batches so your browser never freezes.

📊 Live progress

Watch a real-time progress bar as thousands of photos stream to the cloud.

Pro Feature

Smart capture with motion detection

Don't waste frames on a static scene. Motion detection analyzes each frame in real time and only captures when something actually moves — saving storage and producing cleaner time-lapses.

A 5-second cooldown keeps rolling after motion stops, so your video doesn't cut off abruptly.

🎯 Pixel-level detection

Compares consecutive frames pixel-by-pixel to detect real changes in the scene.

🔧 Adjustable sensitivity

High, Medium, or Low — tune it for subtle plant growth or large construction activity.

⏱️ Smart cooldown

Continues capturing for 5 seconds after motion stops for smooth, natural transitions.

Studio Feature

24/7 capture with Raspberry Pi

Turn a Raspberry Pi into a dedicated time-lapse camera. Set it up once and it captures around the clock — no browser needed. Manage everything from the web app.

🍓 Plug & play setup

Flash our Pi image, drop in a config file, and power on. The agent auto-detects USB or CSI cameras.

📡 Live preview

Stream a real-time ~10 fps preview from your Pi straight to your browser via WebSocket relay.

🌐 Remote management

Start, stop, and configure capture remotely. Supports multiple Wi-Fi networks for portable setups.
