The short answer
To make an AI video of yourself, add one clear, front-facing photo of you, pick an effect such as Earth Zoom Out, Money Rain or Red Carpet, and tap Make the effect: in a few minutes you get a short MP4 starring you, in the browser on your phone, with no app, filming or prompt. Add a second photo, or one photo of both of you, to put a friend in it too, or make a rap music video of the two of you. It is not free: a 5-second effect costs 5 credits and the $9.99 Single pack holds 10 credits, no subscription needed, and a render that fails is never charged.

How to make an AI video of yourself from one photo
“How do I make an AI video of myself?” usually means one thing: you have a photo of you, and you want it to move, with your own face, in a scene you could never film. Here that takes one clear photo. With a single photo, the effect uses the person in that photo, so the video keeps your face, hair and clothes while the scene happens around you.
- Add a photo of you. A clear selfie or waist-up shot, front-facing, only your face in it.
- Pick an effect. Earth Zoom Out is selected on this page; tap another tile to change it.
- Tap Make the effect. In a few minutes the clip is ready to download and post.
Effects that work with just you
Every effect works from one photo of you alone. A few people make of themselves most:
- Earth Zoom Out. The camera opens on your face and pulls back through the street, the city and the clouds to the whole planet. See Earth zoom out.
- Money Rain. Hundreds of bills fall around you on a neon-lit street at night while you laugh and grab at them.
- Red Carpet. You walk a movie-premiere carpet, waving, while camera flashes pop on both sides.
- Angel Wings. Large white wings unfold from your back in warm golden light.
- Levitation. You slowly rise off the ground and float, hair and clothes drifting.
- Live Concert. You perform on a stadium stage under sweeping spotlights, confetti falling.
- Clones. Copies of you step out one by one until a whole squad of you lines the street. See AI clone video.
There are more in the grid, from Turning Metal to Northern Lights; see all AI video effects.
Make an AI video of you and a friend
To put someone else in it, add a photo of each of you, or one photo of the two of you. The two of you appear side by side in the same effect: both on the red carpet, both under the money rain.
Want a song instead of an effect? The rap tab turns two photos into a rap music video of the two of you: an original rap written around your names, a beat, and both of you performing it lip-synced. A standard song (720p, 12 seconds) is 10 credits. See the AI music video generator.
Photo tips so your face stays recognisable
- Face the camera. A front-facing photo, eyes visible, beats a profile or a look away.
- Use good light. Daylight or a bright room; no harsh shadows across the face.
- No sunglasses, masks or heavy filters. Your face is followed from the photo, so show all of it.
- One face per photo. Crop out other people; for two people, use two photos or one clear photo of just the two of you.
- Waist-up is ideal. A tiny face in a wide or group shot is harder to keep true.
Is it free?
No, and it is better to say so up front: renders cost real money to make. A 5-second effect is 5 credits, one song is $9.99 (the Single pack, 10 credits), and 5 songs are $29. Pack credits never expire, monthly plans are optional, there is no subscription needed, and a render that fails is never charged. The cost in credits shows before you tap the button.
Only make videos of people who said yes
Use photos of yourself, or of friends and family who agreed to be in the video, and ask before you post it. No strangers, no celebrities, nobody who would not want it. Unlocked videos may be used for personal and commercial purposes under the Terms.
