The app includes many pre-loaded animations. Click on the "Earth" icon, then click on "Filter" icon on the top right corner and select size 64*32 to view all the animations compatible with the Aura Reflector.
You can select GIFs, photos, or videos from your camera roll or save media from online searches. The app will automatically detect the skin's dimensions - 64x32.

-- Creating Your Own Animation --
Due to the size of the Reflector, we recommend creating an image with a width of 500 pixels and a height of 1000 pixels. Save it as a JPG file and store it in your photo gallery. For the best results on the Aura Reflector, use simple colors and a black background.
