What Bubble Trap does
A shimmering soap bubble starts forming at the edge of the frame and spreads until it closes all the way around the subject. Rainbow colors swirl across its surface, and inside it the subject opens their arms in surprise as it lifts gently.

Built for the clips people share on Reels, TikTok and Shorts: one clear moment in five seconds, framed to stop the scroll.

Tips for the best photo
- Use a full-body photo with some space around the subject so the bubble can close in.

- Pets work too, as long as the whole animal is in the frame.
Ideas for using it

Bubble Trap FAQ
Can I use a photo of my pet?
Yes. The effect works with people and pets. Make sure the whole animal is visible and in focus.
Does the subject float away?
The bubble lifts gently. In our test she stayed mostly in frame, so it reads as a soft float.

No. Bubble Trap 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 Bubble Trap 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.

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.
