How do I turn my photo into a Christmas elf?
Upload a clear full-body photo. The effect keeps the person recognizable and adds a generic green and red elf outfit, a pointed hat and a short dance.
Will the elf hat stay on during the video?
The prompt asks for a pointed red hat and keeps it visible through the dance. A little space above the head helps it stay clean.
Can I use a photo of a child?
Use photos you own or have permission to use, and follow the rules that apply to your family. The page uses fictional sample people and adds no real person.
Does the elf dance video include music?
No. It is a silent five-second clip. Add a song in your editor if you want a music version.
Can I make the dance from a group photo?
A single standing person gives the most reliable result. For a group, crop to one person first or expect the effect to focus on one clear subject.
