Turn your photos into a hug video.
Upload one photo of two people, or two separate photos of people who were never in the same room, and get a short video of them sharing a warm, natural hug. Faces, clothes and the background stay exactly as they are in your picture.
Two photos for people who were never photographed together, or one photo that already has both.
Start from what you actually have
Two photos, one hug
Upload a picture of each person. They never need to have been photographed together. First you get one photo of the two of them side by side, then that photo comes to life as a hug. This is the harder case, and the one most tools cannot do at all.
Upload two photos
Make a hug from two photosOne photo that already has both
If the people are already together in a picture, upload that single photo and it animates into a hug from exactly that image. Nothing is added to the scene and nobody new appears.
Upload one photo
Make a hug from one photoIt keeps the people you uploaded
The thing that makes a hug clip worth keeping is that it still looks like them. Faces, hairstyles, clothing and the background are all held to your source photo, and nobody who was not in your picture appears in the clip.
How it works
1. Upload your photo or photos
One picture with both people in it, or a separate picture of each person. Clear, front-facing faces work best, and ordinary phone photos are completely fine.
2. Get them in one photo
From two separate pictures you get a single natural photo of the two of them standing together. Skip this step if your photo already has both people in it.
3. Bring the hug to life
The people in the photo move together into a warm embrace, hold it, then ease apart. Faces, hairstyles, outfits and the background are all held to the picture.
4. Watch it and keep it
You get a short clip you can play, download and send to whoever it was made for. It stays private to your account unless you choose to share it.
AI hug video FAQ
- How do I make an AI hug video from a photo?
- Upload your photo and generate. If both people are already together in one picture, a single upload is enough and it animates straight into a hug. If they were never photographed together, upload a picture of each person and you get one photo of them side by side first, which then comes to life as the hug.
- Can I make a hug video of someone who has died?
- Yes, and it is one of the most common reasons people make these. Upload a photo of them and a photo of yourself. You do not need a picture of the two of you together, which is usually the whole problem. It is worth treating the result as a keepsake rather than a record of something that happened.
- Do I need one photo or two?
- Either works. One photo is right when both people already appear in the same picture, and it goes straight to video. Two photos is right when they do not, which covers most reunions, late relatives and people who live far apart, and it makes the photo of them together first.
- Will the people still look like themselves?
- That is the main thing these prompts protect. Faces, hairstyles, clothing and the background are all held to the source photo, so the clip reads as the same people rather than as lookalikes who happen to be dressed similarly.
- Is the hug video generator free to use?
- You can browse the prompts and the examples without an account. Generating a video needs an account and spends credits from your balance, and new accounts start with some. Nothing is charged unless you choose to buy more.
