AI Pet Hug
Turn a photo of you and a photo of your pet into a warm 5-second hug video, even if you never took a photo together.
Pet hug videos made from two photos
Each clip below started as two separate photos: one of a person, one of their pet. The two are combined into a single photo first, then the person leans in and hugs their pet.
A real hug, you and your pet
You lean over, wrap both arms around your pet and rest your cheek against its head. Your pet leans into the hug, calm and content. Both faces stay the faces you uploaded, and the pet keeps its fur, markings and expression.

Your photoTwo photos are enough
No photo of the two of you together? No problem. Upload one photo of yourself and one of your pet: the two are combined into a natural photo first, and that photo becomes the hug video. A photo that already shows you together works too.
Start freeHow to make a hug video with your pet
Three steps, about a minute of waiting.
At a glance
- Each video costs 10 credits and lasts 5 seconds.
- New accounts receive 10 to 30 free credits, so your first video fits within the minimum free allowance.
- You can also pay once with no subscription: $2.99 for one video or $5.99 for three, and those credits stay valid for 12 months.
- The video is silent, and its aspect ratio follows your photo.
- The model is made by ByteDance, and most videos are ready in under 60 seconds.
- If you upload two separate photos, they are first combined into one for 3 credits, so that route costs 13 credits in total.
- Free-plan downloads carry a small Vidney watermark; paid plans download without it, and so do downloads for 12 months after any one-time purchase.
Frequently asked questions
Where can I make a video of me hugging my pet for free?
Right here. New accounts get free credits: upload a photo of you and a photo of your pet above and press Create, no editing needed. After the free credits, one 5-second hug video costs 10 credits at the default settings; if you upload two separate photos, combining them first adds 3 credits. The price is on the button before you confirm. Credits come with a subscription plan; the cheapest, Starter, is $9 a month. You can also pay once with no subscription: $2.99 for one video or $5.99 for three, and those credits stay valid for 12 months.
We never took a photo together. Can I use two separate photos?
Yes, that is what this effect is for. Upload one photo of yourself and one of your pet; the two are combined into a single natural photo of you side by side, and the hug video is made from that. A photo that already shows you together also works and skips the combining step.
What photos work best?
For you: a clear photo from the waist up with your face visible, looking at the camera. For your pet: whole body or chest up, face toward the camera. Both as JPG, PNG or WebP, in decent light. The combined photo keeps both faces unchanged.
Can I make a hug video with a pet that has passed away?
Yes, this is one of the most common uses. Use the clearest photos you have of yourself and your pet. The result keeps your pet’s face and markings; it does not invent new features.
Does the video have sound?
No, the clip is silent, so you can add any music you like when you share it.
Do I own the video? Is there a watermark?
Yes, the video is yours to use, including commercially, subject to the source model terms. Downloads on the free plan carry a small Vidney watermark; on any paid plan they download clean.
