For Mom's birthday
Bring a photo of Mom to life, or bring her together with the family around a birthday cake, and send her a short video on her day.
To make a birthday video for Mom, upload a clear photo of her, or one photo each of Mom and up to two family members, and write a few words such as "Mom's 70th, she laughs and waves". She celebrates with balloons, confetti and warm light; download the MP4 and send it with your own message.
Choose the photo you love most of her, recent or decades old. The video opens on that exact picture before she comes to life.
A scanned print of Mom in her twenties, or of the two of you when you were small, can smile and move again for her birthday.
With a birthday scene, Mom and up to two others, each from their own photo, gather around a cake with lit candles.
Most videos are ready in a few minutes, so you can make one on the morning of her birthday and send it by breakfast.
A clear photo where her face is visible works best; for a scene, add one photo of each person.
Say what she does, for example "she laughs and blows a kiss", and choose the length.
Download the MP4 and send it with your own words, or play it on the TV at her party.
The strongest birthday videos for Mom start from a photo with a story behind it. A few that work well:
The video carries no written words, so the message is yours to add. A short line in the chat works best: what the photo means to you, a memory from the day it was taken, or simply how proud you are of her. If you post it, put the greeting in the caption.
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:
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.
Yes. Scan or photograph the print in good light, crop away the border and upload it. The video starts from the photo as it is, so a sharp scan gives the clearest face.
Yes. Use a photo of the two of you together with "Bring one photo to life", or upload one photo of Mom and one of you to the birthday scene, which takes up to 3 people.
No. AI video models misspell words too often, so the video shows the celebration only. Write your greeting in the message you send with it, or add a title in a video app.
A new account's first 5-second video is free, once per network (one IPv4 address or IPv6 /64) every 30 days. After that, a 5-second video costs 150 credits, and credit packs start at $9.99.
Pick her photo, write one moment and send her the video on her day.
