Bring your pet's Halloween costume photo to life

Pets tolerate costumes for about three seconds, just long enough for one photo. Make that photo move.

Costume photos are a Halloween tradition, but videos are much harder: the hat falls off, the cape gets chewed. Start from your best costume photo and add natural movement with a living portrait.

A black cat with a pumpkin? Try Look around for a mysterious, watchful loop. A dog dressed as a hot dog? Laughing fits the mood.

Photo tips

Keep the costume away from the eyes and mouth.
Avoid very dark "spooky" lighting; the face still needs to be clear.
Post it a few days before Halloween when costume content peaks.

Questions

Will the costume move too?

The AI focuses on natural pet movement such as breathing, blinking and head motion. Costume details mostly stay as in the photo.

Does it work with black cats?

Yes, with enough light on the face. See black cat tips.
