What Clay Me does
You start as photographed in your own setting. Over the next seconds your face takes on a sculpted clay look, with smooth molded hair, oversized eyes and soft rounded features, and then you lift a hand and wave in jerky, frame by frame motion.
Become a stop-motion clay figure
Your photo turns into a handmade stop-motion clay scene, fingerprints and all. 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.
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.

- 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 plays right on the page. Save it to your library or download it.
Tips for the best photo
- A waist-up photo with your hands near the frame leaves room for the wave.

- Bold, solid colored clothing reads well in a handmade clay look.

Clay Me FAQ
Does it work with pets?
Yes. Clay Me works with people and pets, and keeps the same features and colors in the clay version.
Why does the motion look choppy?
That is on purpose. The effect copies the stepped movement of real stop-motion animation.

No. Clay Me 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 Clay Me video?
Every effect makes a 5 second HD video that matches the shape of your photo, portrait or landscape, ready to post anywhere.
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.
