AI Zombie Filter
Turn one photo into a 5-second zombie transformation. Same face, same clothes, fully undead.
Zombie transformation videos made from one photo
Every clip below started as a single still photo. The AI turns the face grey-green, clouds the eyes and adds the growl, and leaves the clothes and the background exactly as they were.
Only the face turns
The skin goes grey-green and decayed, dark veins spread around the eyes, the eyes turn milky white, then the head tilts and the growl comes. Shirts, jackets and the room behind stay exactly as in your photo, so it still looks like you, just undead.

The default prompt is tuned and tested. Open "Adjust the prompt" to ask for a slower turn, a louder growl, flickering night light or a zombie wave at the camera. Everything else stays one click.

Frequently asked questions
What is the AI zombie filter?
It turns a still photo into a 5-second video in which the person changes into a zombie: grey-green skin, dark veins, milky white eyes and a slow growl. Face shape, hair, clothes and background stay the same, so it still reads as the same person.
Is the AI zombie filter free? How many credits does it cost?
New accounts get free credits, enough for a first zombie video. After that, one 5-second video costs 10 credits at the default settings, and 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.
What photo should I upload?
One photo of one person, face clearly visible, framed from the waist up, as a JPG, PNG or WebP. The video takes the shape of your photo, so a vertical photo gives you a vertical clip for TikTok and Reels.
Is it gory?
No. The look is horror-movie makeup, not a slasher film: decayed skin and white eyes, no blood and no open wounds. It is made for Halloween posts that people actually want to share.
Can I turn two people into zombies, or make a zombie hug?
This effect is tuned for one person per photo. For two people, try the AI Zombie Hug: one of them turns into a zombie and the other hugs them anyway, the moment behind the zombie love story trend.
Do I own the video?
Yes. Generated output is yours to use, including commercially, subject to the source model terms. No watermark on paid plans.
