Bring Your Pet Photo to Life
Pet photo-to-video clips are everywhere on TikTok: a still photo of a dog or cat suddenly blinks, looks around and walks up to the camera. This template does that from one photo.
The AI keeps your pet’s breed, fur colour, markings and eyes from the photo and animates small, natural moves: a blink, a head tilt, a stretch and a nose bump on the lens. The result may not match your pet exactly. Every video is 12 seconds, 9:16, 1080×1920, with sound and a small “AI-generated” label.

FAQ
Can I use a photo of a pet that has passed away?
Yes. Many people use this to see a favourite photo move again. The AI animates small natural moves; it may not look exactly like your pet.
Can I use just one photo?
Yes. This template uses one photo of one pet, with no people in it.
Can I use two photos taken separately?
This template uses a single photo, so there is nothing to combine.
Which pets work?
Dogs and cats work best, and other pets such as rabbits or birds usually work too. Use one pet per photo, clearly visible and facing the camera. Photos with a person in them are rejected.
How do I choose good photos?
One pet, the whole head clearly visible. Eye level, good light, sharp focus. Dogs and cats work best; rabbits and birds usually work too. Avoid any person or face in the photo (it will be rejected), several animals in one photo, very dark, blurry or heavily filtered photos.
What happens to my photos?
Your photos are only used to make your video. They are deleted as soon as generation finishes (or within about a day if you never generate), and videos are deleted after 30 days. Nothing appears in the gallery unless you opt in. Our Safety page and privacy policy (linked below) have the details.
What can I do for free?
Once. Sign in with Google and you get 1 free preview: a watermarked 540×960 preview of your 12-second video, one per person. No card is needed. After that, full-quality videos cost first video $4.99 (one per account), then $9.99 for one, $19.99 for three or $49.99 for ten. On busy days the free previews can run out — you can still pay to generate.
