Vanityvid is an interesting service that adds some flavor to your profile pictures by helping you turn them into videos. So the next time you have a friend click on your Twitter or Facebook profile photo, they could see a nice video of yours instead of just a picture.

The videos can be created through a webcam, emailing through your cellphone or by uploading a video file directly. The Vanityvids can be at max 17 seconds long and up to 20 different Vanityvids are allowed for a single account.

Your Vanityvids would be displayed on sites which partner with them. Currently, the best way to view Vanityvids on profiles like Facebook and Twitter is through their add-ons for Firefox and Chrome. Once you have the add-on installed, if a profile you are browsing has a Vanityvid created photo, you will see the video when you click on it.

Features

• Turn your profile pics into videos.
• Use webcam, direct upload or email upload methods for recording videos
• Free to use. 17 seconds limit on videos.
• You’d need to use add-ons for Firefox and Chrome for most of the sites.
• Similar tools: AvatarPhoto, Alpoy, CoolWebcamAvatars and several others.
