AI summary

Provided are an method for generating an animation and apparatus, an electronic device, and a computer-readable storage medium. The method for generating an animation comprises: determining a background image and a first foreground image of an original image (S110); respectively rotating, scaling and translating the first foreground image and a first 2D sticker image to obtain a second foreground image and a second 2D sticker image, wherein the first 2D sticker image is generated in advance on the basis of a predetermined coverage manner and according to the original image (S 120); mixing the second foreground image with the background image to obtain a first mixed image (S 130); and mixing the first mixed image with the second 2D sticker image to generate an animation of the original image (S140).
