What Big Laugh does
The clip starts on your photo with a neutral expression. Your eyes crinkle, a smile spreads, and you burst into a big natural laugh with your head tipping back, ending still grinning.
Your photo cracks up laughing
The person in the photo breaks into a real, full laugh. Close-up face photos 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.
