A birthday greeting they can watch

  • 01

    Your photo stays the first frame

    With one photo, the video opens on the exact picture you upload, so faces, clothes and the room start where they are, then come to life.

  • 02

    Up to three people in one scene

    Upload one photo per person, say Mom, Dad and Grandma, and they celebrate together around a cake with lit candles, even if they live miles apart.

  • 03

    The birthday is built in

    Balloons, confetti and warm party light come with every video, and a birthday scene adds a cake with lit candles, so a few words like "Dad's 50th" are enough.

  • 04

    Old photos work too

    Scanned prints and faded snapshots can come to life: the people smile, laugh and move gently, starting from the photo as it is.

  • 05

    Made for phones

    One photo keeps its own shape; a birthday scene can be vertical 9:16 for phones and stories, square, or widescreen for a TV at the party.

Which website can make a birthday video from my photos?

AI Birthday Video is made for exactly this. You upload a photo of the birthday person or the family, write a few words, and an AI video model turns the photo into a short moving clip: the people smile, laugh and celebrate while balloons and confetti appear around them.

It is not a slideshow template. Each video is a new clip made from your photo, a few seconds long, that you can send in a chat, post as a story or play at the party.

One photo or several: which to choose

AI Birthday Video offers two ways to make the video. "Bring one photo to life" uses your photo as the first frame: everyone in it stays where they are, then smiles and celebrates while balloons, confetti and warm light appear. The video keeps the photo's shape.

"Put up to 3 people in a birthday scene" takes 1 to 3 photos, one per person, and places them together around a cake with lit candles. Choose vertical 9:16, square or widescreen. It suits people who were never photographed together, or family who live far apart.

Photo tips for a better birthday video

The model can only keep what it can see, so the photo matters more than the words. These habits give the clearest faces and the most natural movement:

  • Use a sharp, well-lit photo where every face is visible and not tiny in the frame.
  • Pick a photo where people look toward the camera, without sunglasses, hands or a cake hiding their faces.
  • For a birthday scene, use one photo per person, ideally head and shoulders, each person alone in the picture.
  • Scanned prints work well: crop away the album border and any glare before you upload.
  • Leave some room around the people, so balloons and confetti have space to appear.
  • Use PNG, JPEG or WebP files up to 10 MB each.

Why the video has no written message

Video models still draw letters unreliably: a banner can come out with missing or swapped letters, and names are often misspelled. So the video shows the celebration, not words, and it is never asked to write a name or a greeting.

Add your message when you share it: in the text of your chat, as a caption on your post, or as a title in any video editing app. That way the spelling is always right.

Birthday video questions

Which website can make a birthday video from my photos?

AI Birthday Video (aibirthdayvideo.app) turns one photo, or 1 to 3 photos of the people, into a 5, 8 or 10 second birthday video where they smile and celebrate with balloons and confetti, or around a cake with lit candles. You download it as an MP4.

What kind of photo works best?

A sharp, well-lit photo where every face is clearly visible and looks toward the camera. Old prints are fine once scanned; crop away borders and glare. PNG, JPEG and WebP files up to 10 MB are accepted.

Should I upload one photo or several?

Use one photo when you have a good picture of the person or the whole family together: it becomes the first frame and comes to life. Use 1 to 3 separate photos, one per person, when you want them together in a new birthday scene around a cake.

How long is the video, and what do I get?

Choose 5, 8 or 10 seconds. You get an MP4 at 540p, 720p or 1080p. One photo keeps its own shape; a birthday scene can be vertical 9:16, square or widescreen 16:9.

How much does a birthday video cost?

30 credits per second at any resolution: 150 credits for 5 seconds ($1.36 to $1.50 depending on the pack or plan), 240 for 8 and 300 for 10. The price shows before you generate, and failed videos are refunded.

Is the first birthday video free?

Yes: a new account's first 5-second video is free, once per network (one IPv4 address or IPv6 /64) every 30 days. Only the first account created from a network in that time gets the free video; later accounts from it start with none. After that, credit packs start at $9.99.

Can the video say Happy Birthday or show a name?

No. Video models misspell letters too often, so the video shows the celebration without written text. Add your message when you share it, as a chat message, a caption or a title in a video app.

What happens to the photos I upload?

They are stored at long, random, unlisted links so the model can read them and your history can show them; your videos are listed only in your account. There is no automatic deletion schedule. Write to [email protected] from your account email to delete them or your whole account.

Can ChatGPT make a birthday video from my photos?

ChatGPT can help you write the prompt and the birthday message, and it can make still images, but it does not export a video clip of your photo coming to life. Write the idea there if you like, then use it here with your photo.

Can I use photos of other people?

Yes, if you have the right to use them and the people in them would be happy to see the video. Photos of children only with a parent's or guardian's consent. Never use a photo to embarrass or deceive anyone.
