Santa Caught on Camera AI Video Generator

You upload

One photo of a room or porch of your home, with no people in it

Upload one photo of a room or porch of your own home: the living room, the kitchen, the fireplace corner or the front door. Take it from a high corner or from doorbell height, with the floor visible. The photo must show no people. Never upload a photo of a person under 18; the clip shows only Santa and your room.

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.

You get a 10-second MP4, 720p, 9:16 vertical, styled like a home security recording. Night Vision is black and white: Santa leaves gifts under the tree, puts a finger to his lips and tiptoes out. Cookie Thief is in colour: he eats a cookie, sips the milk, pats his belly and waves. Doorbell is a wide fisheye view of the porch: he sets a present down by the door and waves. The sound is generated with the video and stays low.

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.

A person is in the photo

The effect is made for an empty room. If a person is in the picture, the model may move or change them. Take the photo again with nobody in the frame. Photos that show a person under 18 are not allowed.

Small objects shift

The model redraws your room in every frame, so ornaments, small objects or the words on a doormat can blur or move a little, and the view can sit closer than your photo. In our three samples the furniture and the layout stay in place.

No tree or no cookies in the photo

Night Vision places gifts under a tree and Cookie Thief reaches for a plate of cookies. Our samples start from photos that show them. We have not tested rooms without a tree or a plate, so include them in your photo.

The sound differs between clips

The sound is generated with the video. Our Night Vision sample is almost silent, Cookie Thief has a low murmur without clear words, and in the Doorbell sample Santa says a short greeting. He cannot say a name.

A Christmas Eve surprise for the family

Make the clip in advance and play it on Christmas morning as proof that Santa came to your house. Night Vision looks like a motion alert from a living-room lens: black and white, a little grainy, with a finger to the lips at the end. Use the room where the tree stands, so everybody knows the place at once.

A greeting for the group chat or the neighbors

Send the Cookie Thief clip to friends or relatives as a short holiday hello: Santa eats a cookie, sips the milk and waves. For the street chat, take a photo of your porch from doorbell height and pick Doorbell. Label the clip as AI when you post it.

Start the season at Thanksgiving

Pair this clip with a November one: our Thanksgiving effect uses a photo of you or your pet.

More holiday scenes from one photo

The Halloween scenes work the same way with a photo of you: one picture in, one short vertical video out.
