> 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.

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.

## A birthday video Mom will watch twice

- **Start from her best photo**: Choose the photo you love most of her, recent or decades old. The video opens on that exact picture before she comes to life.
- **Bring back an old picture**: 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.
- **Add the family**: With a birthday scene, Mom and up to two others, each from their own photo, gather around a cake with lit candles.
- **Ready the same day**: Most videos are ready in a few minutes, so you can make one on the morning of her birthday and send it by breakfast.

## How to make a birthday video for Mom

1. **Pick a photo of Mom**: A clear photo where her face is visible works best; for a scene, add one photo of each person.
2. **Write one moment**: Say what she does, for example "she laughs and blows a kiss", and choose the length.
3. **Send it with your message**: Download the MP4 and send it with your own words, or play it on the TV at her party.

## Ideas for Mom's birthday video

The strongest birthday videos for Mom start from a photo with a story behind it. A few that work well:

- Her wedding photo, with her laughing as confetti falls
- An old snapshot of Mom holding you as a baby, both smiling
- A recent portrait, with her blowing a kiss to the camera
- Mom and her own mother, each from their own photo, around one cake
- A holiday photo, with balloons and warm evening light

## What to write when you send it

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.


## 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.

## Questions about Mom's birthday video

### Can I use an old photo of Mom?

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.

### Can Mom and I be in the same video?

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.

### Will the video say Happy Birthday Mom?

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.

### Is a birthday video for Mom free?

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.
