How AI video effects work

Each effect is a fixed template: the motion, the scene and the camera are written for you, so the result looks like the trend you know. The AI keeps the face and outfit from your photo and only adds the action.

Pick an effect below and open its page.
Upload your photo (two photos for the duo effects) and choose a style.
Click Create video, watch the free preview after about a minute and download it in HD with credits.

Effects or your own prompt?

Effects are the quickest way to a popular look. If you have a different idea, the photo to video tool on our home page lets you describe any motion in your own words. Both share the same free video and the same credits.

Frequently asked questions

What is an AI video effect?

An AI video effect is a ready made template that turns a photo into a short video with a fixed action, like a hug, a dance or a muscle transformation. You do not write a prompt. You upload a photo, choose a style and the AI does the rest.

Are the AI video effects free?

Most of them, yes: every visitor can make 1 free video without signing up, as a one-time allowance. The duo effects rap duo, Bulin 47 and hug are the exception and only work with credits. Free videos carry a small TapToVideo.com watermark. More videos, HD and videos without a watermark use one-time credit packs, with no subscription.

Which photos can I use?

A clear photo of yourself, of adults who agreed to it, or of your pet. Photos of children, celebrities, nudity and people who did not agree are not allowed, and every upload goes through an automatic safety check.

Can I describe my own motion instead of using a template?

Yes. On the home page you can upload any photo and describe the motion in your own words. The effect pages are the faster way when you want a popular look without writing a prompt.
