What Astronaut does
The clip opens on your portrait, then cuts to you sealed inside a white spacesuit and helmet. You drift weightless with Earth glowing behind you, and as the light shifts across the visor your face becomes clearer and you smile toward the camera.
Suit up and float in orbit
Your subject suits up as an astronaut and floats in space with the Earth behind them. Portraits work best.
Still looks like you
The video opens on your exact photo, so the face, hair, outfit and surroundings carry through the whole effect.
A full transformation in one shot
The change happens on camera in one continuous take, so viewers see the before and the after in the same clip.
How to make an Astronaut 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
- A close portrait facing the camera works best because your face ends up inside the helmet.
- Even lighting on your face helps it show through the visor.
- Keep hats and big earrings out of the photo; they will not fit in the suit.
Ideas for using it
- A kid's science-themed birthday invite made with a parent's photo.
- A STEM teacher introducing a space unit.
- Someone announcing a new job at an aerospace company on LinkedIn.

Astronaut FAQ
Is my face visible inside the helmet?
Yes. In our test the face stayed recognizable behind the visor, especially in the last few seconds.
Can I choose which planet is in the background?
No. The effect always places you in orbit with Earth behind you.
Do I need to write a prompt for Astronaut?
No. Astronaut 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 Astronaut 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.
