Viral effects

One photo. The effect everyone's posting.

One photo in, a trending effect out.

Upload a photo and pick from 18 effects: a hug (even with someone from another photo), a dance, a 3D collectible figure, then & now, an Earth zoom-out, a 360° orbit, melt, inflate, anime and more. Every effect has a moving preview. Your photo itself is animated, so the people in it stay recognisable, and the clip ends where it started so it loops smoothly. One 5 or 10 second clip in the shape of your photo, ready to post. Only photos of yourself, or of adults who agreed to it.

What you bring

  • Your photo

    A clear, well-lit photo of you, or of adults who agreed to it. For a hug, two people side by side works best.

  • Effect

  • Second photo · optional

    Only for effects that use two photos.

  • Extra direction · optional

    A style to morph into, a setting, a mood. Leave empty for the classic effect.

  • Background music · optional

    MP3, WAV or M4A you own or have licensed. It plays quietly under the voice and loops if it's shorter than the video.
