What Butterfly Swarm does

A few orange wings flicker in at the edges, then more butterflies arrive and start circling your subject. Some flutter right past the face while others settle on the shoulders and chest. By the end your subject is surrounded by a loose, drifting cloud of them and still smiling.

Butterflies gather around you

A swarm of colorful butterflies flutters in and circles your subject. Works with people and pets.

Still looks like you

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

Movie-style effects without editing software

Effects that used to mean compositing and particle work in an editor, rendered in one pass with lighting that matches your photo.

How to make a Butterfly Swarm video

  1. Upload a photo, or pick one from your library.
  2. Press Generate. There is no prompt to write; the effect is already set up.
  3. Your 5 second HD video plays right on the page. Save it to your library or download it.

Tips for the best photo

  • Outdoor photos in daylight, especially gardens or fields, match the warm, sunny look.
  • Frame from the chest up so the butterflies landing on the shoulders stay in view.
  • A light or plain top helps the colorful wings stand out.

Ideas for using it

  • A florist or garden shop announcing spring hours with the owner's portrait.
  • A pet owner turning a photo of their dog in the yard into a dreamy clip.
  • A wellness coach opening a calm, nature-themed meditation post.
