How do I make an AI hug video?

Upload a photo of two people — or two separate photos, one of each person — and generate. The AI animates them into a natural hug, keeping faces true to the originals, and returns a short video you can download and share.

Can I use two separate photos of different people?

Yes. That is the most popular way to use it — combining photos of people who are far apart, or of a relative who has passed away, into one embrace.

What photos work best?

Clear, front-facing photos with good lighting and visible upper bodies. Similar photo quality between the two images helps the final video feel seamless.

How long are the videos?

Clips are a few seconds long — the sweet spot for social formats like TikTok, Reels, Shorts, and WhatsApp statuses. You can generate multiple takes and pick your favorite.

Will the faces actually look like us?

Yes. Identity preservation is the core of the effect — the AI keeps facial features consistent throughout the motion so both people remain instantly recognizable.

Can I make hug videos with pets?

Yes. Hugs with dogs, cats, and other pets work well and are a popular format on social media.

Yes. New accounts get free credits on signup with no credit card required, so you can generate a hug video before choosing a plan.

Is there a watermark on the video?

No. Your downloaded MP4 is clean, with no watermark on free credits or paid plans.
