AI Zombie Hug

One of you turns into a zombie. The other one hugs them anyway. The zombie love story, from one photo.

Zombie love story videos made from one photo

Every clip below started as a single still photo of two people. The AI turns the person on the left into a zombie and has the other one pull them into a hug, with both faces kept.

Would you still love me if I were a zombie?

That is the whole trend in one line, and the clip answers it. The person on the left turns grey-green with milky white eyes, the other one flinches, then smiles and hugs them anyway. The zombie face stays on camera through the hug, and clothes and background stay as they were.

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

What is the AI zombie trend?

A short video format that took off on TikTok and Reels ahead of Halloween: one person in a couple or a friendship turns into a zombie, and the other one chooses a hug over running away. This page makes that core moment, the turn and the hug, from one photo.

Who turns into the zombie?

The person on the left of the photo. If you upload two separate photos, the first one is placed on the left, so put the future zombie first. To flip it, open "Adjust the prompt" and change left to right.

How many credits does a zombie hug video cost?

One 5-second video costs 10 credits at the default settings. Starting from two separate photos adds 3 credits for combining them into one photo first. The total is on the button before you confirm, and new accounts get free credits.

What photo should I upload?

One photo of two people side by side, both faces visible, framed from the waist up, as a JPG, PNG or WebP. Couples, best friends and parents with grown-up kids all work, and so do anime illustrations.

Is it scary?

Spooky, not gory. The zombie gets grey-green skin, dark veins and white eyes, with no blood or wounds, and the clip ends on a warm hug.

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.
