AI Elf Dance Video From One Photo

You upload

One photo of one adult, two adults or your pet

Use photos of adults (18 or older) or pets only. Do not upload a photo of a person under 18. A well-lit, front-facing photo of the adult, both adults, or the pet works best. For Elf Duo, both adults should be in the same photo and agree to be in the video.

Use JPG, PNG, WebP, HEIC, up to 30 MB. Photos are resized before upload. You can swap the picture before you start. You must be 18 or older. Confirm photo rights, adult age and consent, and pet ownership. We delete uploads after 7 days and never use them to train models.

You get

MP4, 720p, 9:16, 10 s. Model-generated sound.

Each generation is a 10-second, 720p, 9:16 MP4 with generated audio, sent on a private email link. You can save the file to your phone or computer. The costume, the workshop and the dance come from the effect: a green costume, pointy ears and a bell hat for people, a vest and hat for a pet.

This effect uses 30 credits for one video. Pack pricing starts from $1.42 per video. Pack credits never expire. Compare packs before buying more credits.

The duo dance is calmer

Two dancers in one frame move less than one. In our Elf Duo sample the friends kick once, turn together and high-five; it reads more as a sway than a big dance.

A side-on or blurry face

The model needs a clear face to keep the likeness. A side view, a dark photo or a small face in a group shot gives a weaker likeness. Crop to the people who should dance.

Cats move differently from dogs

Our Pet Elf sample is a dog. A cat in the same effect tends to sway and bounce rather than dance, and its pose may differ from the example.

An office holiday greeting

Make a Solo Elf Dance from your own photo and post it in the team chat before the holiday break. Short, silly and with sound, it works as a hello that needs no card.

A matching duo

Use one photo of you and a friend or partner standing side by side. Elf Duo puts you both in matching costumes, and the clip ends with a high-five.

Your dog’s Christmas debut

Pet Elf dresses your dog or cat in a green vest and a bell hat. Pair it with a Santa clip from your living room for a full holiday set.
