## What it does

A shimmer turns your photo into a bright world made of square blocks, with grassy hills, blocky trees and a square sun. You become a cube-shaped character who looks around, waves and hops onto a block.

## From our test

We tested a bearded man in a blue hoodie in a park. He became a blocky figure with brown hair and a blue jacket, and a square sun glowed overhead as he lifted a hand to wave. It took about 3 minutes.

## Tips for the best photo

- Wear colors that stand out, since the character copies your hair and outfit colors.
- Use a full-body photo outdoors.
- Keep your pose simple and facing forward.

## Ideas for using it

- A gamer makes a profile intro clip.
- A teacher builds a themed video for a class project.
- A parent creates a birthday clip in a blocky world.

## Still looks like you

The video opens on your exact photo, so the face, hair, outfit and surroundings carry through the whole effect.

The change happens on camera in one continuous take, so viewers see the before and the after in the same clip.

## FAQ

### Will it use a real game's characters?

No, the effect avoids logos and text and creates a generic block world.

### Can I choose the scenery?

The world is set by the effect.

### Do I need to write a prompt for Block World?

No. Block World 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 Block World 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.
