The useful part

For artists, creators, and anyone who wants to turn a still picture into a highly customizable animated loop.

PrismLab turns any picture into a moving visual experiment. Upload an image or paste a direct picture link, resize and position it inside the crop, then shape a seamless loop with ten creative effects. Its signature Drowning Mirror effect includes a movable horizontal split, reversible reflection direction, and inversion, while Prism Shift, static, water, melt, trails, and other styles each expose their own useful controls.
