Free accounts get 3 effects a day, with a small PixelDojo watermark.
What AI Dance does
The clip opens with your subject standing still, then they pump one arm in the air and start bouncing to a beat. A few confident arm moves follow, and it wraps up with a spin that sends their hair flying.
Bust out an upbeat dance
Your subject breaks into a fun, upbeat dance with confident moves. A full-body or waist-up photo with some space around the person works best.
Still looks like you
The video opens on your exact photo, so the face, hair, outfit and surroundings carry through the whole effect.
Made for short-form video
Built for the clips people share on Reels, TikTok and Shorts: one clear moment in five seconds, framed to stop the scroll.
How to make an AI Dance video
- Upload a photo, or pick one from your library.
- Press Generate. There is no prompt to write; the effect is already set up.
- Your 5 second HD video is ready in a minute or two. Save it to your library or download it.
Tips for the best photo
- Choose a full body or waist-up photo with open space around the person for the arm moves.
- Flat, even ground in the photo helps the footwork look natural.
- Avoid photos where someone is sitting or leaning on something, since the effect needs them standing on their own.
Ideas for using it
- Friends posting a celebration clip after exams or a promotion.
- Event hosts teasing a party night with a guest dancing on the invite.
- Creators testing a dance trend idea before filming it for real.

AI Dance FAQ
Does it add music to the dance?
No. The clip comes with ambient sound only, so you can add your own song when you post it.
Will the background stay the same while I dance?
Yes. In our test the street, parked cars and sidewalk stayed in place while only the person moved.
Do I need to write a prompt for AI Dance?
No. AI Dance is a ready-made effect: upload a photo and press Generate. The directions for the motion, camera and lighting are already built in.
How long is the AI Dance video, and how long does it take?
Every effect makes a 5 second HD video that matches the shape of your photo, portrait or landscape. Most are ready in one to three minutes, and you can leave the page while it renders.
Does the video have sound?
Yes. Each clip comes with matching ambient sound effects. It does not add music, so you can lay your own track over it in any editor.
Can I use a photo of someone else?
Only photos of adults, of yourself or of people who agreed to it. Every upload goes through the same safety checks as the rest of PixelDojo.
