Start from a childhood photo
Choose your favorite photo of you as a child and add a recent photo of you. The video shows your adult self kneeling down to give the child a warm hug.
To make a childhood photo hug video, upload a photo of you as a child and a recent one, name a place, and download a 5 to 10 second MP4. Each second costs 30 credits; the first 5-second video is free for a new account, once per network (an IPv4 address or IPv6 /64) every 30 days.
A school portrait, a holiday snapshot or a scanned print: the clearer your face, the closer the result.
The built-in instruction has your adult self kneel or bend down to the child's height for a warm hug.
Name the place from the photo, or another one from your childhood, and the hug happens there.
Crop it around your face; scan or photograph old prints flat in daylight.
A recent photo from the waist up, in similar light if you can.
Name the place and download the MP4 when it is ready.
School portraits and close holiday snapshots work best, because the face is large, sharp and looking at the camera. In a group photo, crop tightly around your younger self before you upload it.
If the print is faded or yellowed, a scan at a high resolution keeps the most detail. You can ask in the prompt to keep the photo's faded colors, or leave it to the model.
The model can only keep what it can see, so a clear face in each photo matters more than anything else.
The video is generated by an AI video model from your two photos and your words. It is not a recording, and small details, such as hands or the background, may look different from life.
Upload only your own childhood photo, or one you have the right to use with the person's permission, and say the video was made with AI when you share it.
Any age where your face is clear. Toddler, school-age and teenage photos all work; the instruction keeps the age shown in the photo.
Only with that person's permission, together with a recent photo of the same person. The video is meant for one person at two ages.
The video is made from photos and is not designed to show written words or a chosen voice. Add your message when you share it.
Upload it with a photo of you now and describe the place.
