AI Rap VideoHow to make an AI video of yourself from one photo
“How do I make an AI video of myself?” usually means one thing: you have a photo of you, and you want it to move, with your own face, in a scene you could never film. Here that takes one clear photo. With a single photo, the effect uses the person in that photo, so the video keeps your face, hair and clothes while the scene happens around you.
- Add a photo of you. A clear selfie or waist-up shot, face-forward, only your face in it.
- Pick an effect. Earth Zoom Out is selected on this page; tap another tile to change it.
- Tap Make the effect. In a few minutes the clip is ready to download and post.
Effects that work with just you
Every effect works from one photo of you alone. A few people make of themselves most:
- Earth Zoom Out. It opens on an ultra-wide selfie angle from above as you wave up from an open plaza, then rises in one unbroken take, past the curved horizon, to the whole planet in space. See Earth zoom out.
- Money Rain. Hundreds of bills fall around you on a neon-lit street at night while you laugh and grab at them.
- Red Carpet. You walk a movie-premiere carpet, waving, while camera flashes pop on both sides.
- Angel Wings. Large white wings unfold from your back in warm golden light.
- Levitation. You slowly rise off the ground and float, hair and clothes drifting.
- Live Concert. You perform on a stadium stage under sweeping spotlights, confetti falling.
- Clones. Copies of you step out one by one until a whole squad of you lines the street. See AI clone video.
There are more in the grid, from Turning Metal to Northern Lights; see all AI video effects.
Make an AI video of you and a friend
To put someone else in it, add a photo of each of you, or one photo of the two of you. The two of you appear side by side in the same effect: both on the red carpet, both under the money rain.
Want a song instead of an effect? The rap tab turns your vocals and a photo into a rap music video: an original rap written around your names, a beat, and both of you performing it lip-synced. Pricing is pay-per-video: one 720p video is $8.88, three are $16.99 and ten are $29.90, with no subscription. See the AI music video generator.
Photo tips so your face stays recognisable
- Face the camera. A face-forward photo, eyes visible, beats a profile or a look away.
- Use good light. Daylight or a bright room; no harsh shadows across the face.
- No sunglasses, masks or heavy filters. Your face is followed from the photo, so show all of it.
- One face per photo. Crop out other people; for a lip-sync rap video, upload ~15s of vocals and one clear face photo (or a preset).
- Waist-up is ideal. A tiny face in a wide or group shot is harder to keep true.
Is it free?
No, and it is better to say so up front: renders cost real money to make. Pricing is pay-per-video: one 720p video is $8.88, three are $16.99 and ten are $29.90, with no subscription. The cost in credits shows before you tap the button.
Only make videos of people who said yes
Use photos of yourself, or of friends and family who agreed to be in the video, and ask before you post it. No strangers, no celebrities, nobody who would not want it. Unlocked videos may be used for personal and commercial purposes under the Terms.
