What Handshake does
Two people stand in a bright office lobby, step toward each other and clasp hands. They turn to smile at the camera while still shaking, and the camera slowly pushes in.
Two people meet and shake hands
The two people step toward each other, shake hands firmly and smile. Clear waist-up photos of each person work best.
Both people stay recognizable
Each person keeps their own face, hair and clothes from their photo, so the result looks like them, not like two strangers.
Two people, one scene
Brings two people from two separate photos together in one shot, even if they have never been photographed side by side.
How to make a Handshake video
- Upload two photos: first person and second person. You can also pick them 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
- Take each portrait waist up, facing the camera, with a clear view of the shoulders and arms.
- Use similar lighting in both photos so the two people feel like they share a room.
- Sleeves that sit close to the wrist keep the handshake crisp.
Ideas for using it
- A sales team sharing a closed deal announcement on a company page.
- A real estate agent celebrating a sale with the new owner.
- Two partners announcing a collaboration on their channels.

Handshake FAQ
Do both people need to be in the same photo?
No, you upload one photo of each person, and the clip places them together in the lobby.
Will my logo or name tag show up?
The direction keeps the scene clear of text and logos, so nothing readable is added.
Do I need to write a prompt for Handshake?
No. Handshake is a ready-made effect: upload two photos and press Generate. The directions for the motion, camera and lighting are already built in.
How long is the Handshake 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.
