One photo of you

How to Make an AI Video of Yourself

Add one clear photo of you and pick a scene: the camera pulls back from your face to the whole planet, a squad of you appears, or your outfit turns into a Halloween costume. Your face comes from your photo.

The short answer

To make an AI video of yourself, add one clear, front-facing photo of you, pick an effect and tap Make the effect. The AI keeps your face and puts you in the scene, from an Earth zoom out to a dance in a neon studio. A 5 second clip on Seedance 2.0 Mini at 720p costs 4 credits, the provider quotes up to about 5 minutes, and it all runs in your phone’s browser. It is not free: the smallest pack is 10 credits for $9.99, with no subscription needed, and a failed render is refunded. Add a friend’s photo to put two of you in it, or make a rap video of the two of you; a rap video always has two performers.

How it works

What an AI video of yourself is here

You have a photo; you want it to move, with your face, somewhere you could never film. Each effect is one short scene with the camera move, the setting and the sound already written. Your photo decides who is in it; in most effects the scene replaces your photo’s background. There is no prompt to type.

The model is told to keep your face, hairstyle and outfit from the photo, except in effects that change them on purpose: Halloween Costume swaps the clothes for a costume, Bald Filter removes the hair and 80s Home Video gives you a 1980s look.

Hug, Zombie, Slow Dance, Memorial Hug and Polaroid Hug need two people, so they do not work from a solo photo. All 28 are on AI video effects.

An AI video of you and a friend

Add a photo of each of you, or one photo of the two of you, and you both appear side by side in the same effect.

For a song, switch to the Rap video tab. The Hotel Lobby video puts the two of you in the orange booth: one raps to the Hotel Lobby track, the other hypes, 6 credits for 12 seconds on Wan 3.0, ready in about 5 to 15 minutes. The AI rap generator writes an original rap from one line you type, 10 credits for 12 seconds at 720p. A rap video always needs two people; there is no solo rap.

Photo tips so it still looks like you

  • Face the camera with your eyes visible. A profile is harder to keep.
  • Daylight or a bright room, no hard shadows across the face.
  • No sunglasses, masks or heavy beauty filters.
  • Crop out other people. A tiny face in a group shot is harder to keep.
  • For dance clips, use a full-length photo: they show you head to toe.

Only make videos of yourself, or of friends and family who said yes, and ask before you post. No strangers, celebrities or other public figures.

Questions

AI video of yourself: questions

Still stuck? Contact us or see pricing.

How do I make an AI video of myself?

Add one clear photo of yourself, pick an effect (Earth Zoom Out is selected here) and tap Make the effect. The clip is an MP4 with your face from the photo.

How do you make an AI video of yourself for free?

Not here. A 5 second clip at 720p costs 4 credits. Credit packs are one-time, so there is no subscription to cancel. Credits are paid when you create; the smallest pack is 10 credits for $9.99, and a failed render is refunded automatically.

Can I turn a selfie into a video on my phone?

Yes. It runs in Safari, Chrome or any phone browser, with nothing to install, and you download an MP4.

Will it really look like me?

A sharp, front-facing, well-lit photo gives the closest result. The model keeps the face from your picture; results are AI-made and can differ in small details.

Can I make a video of me rapping on my own?

No. The rap video always has two performers, so add a friend’s photo. For a solo music moment, Raindance has you singing on a sunset pier.

How do I make an AI video of me and my friend?

Add a photo of each of you, or one photo of both, then pick an effect, or switch to the Rap video tab for a rap of the two of you.

How long is the clip and how long does it take?

5 seconds by default; longer clips cost more. The provider quotes up to about 5 minutes.

Can I make an AI video of someone else?

Only with their permission, and never of strangers, celebrities or other public figures.
