Photo tips

  • Show your pet facing the camera, with the face and body in view.
  • Use a photo with only one animal in it.
  • Use daylight. Avoid strong shadows.
  • Keep costumes off, so the coat and markings stay clear.

Cost

One video uses 30 credits (about $4.99 at the try-pack rate). 300 credits (≈ 10 videos) cost $29.90. Pack credits never expire.

FAQ

What happens in the AI Dog Dance meme?
A pet stands up like a person and dances to a fast beat. You upload one photo and the template supplies the moves, the room and the sound. Dogs and cats both work.
How do I follow the AI Dog Dance tutorial?
Add one clear photo of your own dog. Play the example, confirm your age and that the pet is yours, and pay for one video. Your private link arrives by email in a few minutes.
Can I make an AI cat dance video too?
Yes. Upload a clear photo of your cat. The dance came from a dog, so the legs and the tail of a cat may look different.
Where can I see the original AI Dog Dance video?
See the source section for the YouTube clip from Memetemps. The first post is not verified.
Does the video have sound?
Yes. It includes the template soundtrack from the original clip. Check the sound rules of the app where you post.
Can I use a photo of a pet that is not mine?
No. The pet in the photo must be your own. You must also be 18 or older.
How long is the video, and what size is it?
It is 9 seconds long and vertical (9:16), the size for phone apps. It includes the template soundtrack.
How much does an AI dog dance video cost?
Every video is paid. Packs start at $4.99 and never expire. Check the tool for this effect's credit cost before paying. No app is needed. Sign in at Make.
Why is AI Dog Dance on TikTok?
AI dancing dogs and cats have spread on TikTok and Instagram Reels since 2024. The pet does not need to stand in your photo, because the template makes it stand up.
How long until my video is ready?
Usually 3–6 minutes. You can close the page while it is made. We email a private link when it is ready.
