What New Year Fireworks does
You start out smiling in daylight, then the sky turns to night as colorful bursts explode behind you. You throw both arms up in a cheer, confetti tumbles down, and the sparkles light your face for the closing moments.

New Year Fireworks FAQ
Does my photo need to be taken at night?
No. The effect changes the scene to night, so a daytime photo works.
Will the confetti cover my face?
No. The confetti falls around you while your face stays visible and lit by the fireworks.
Do I need to write a prompt for New Year Fireworks?
No. New Year Fireworks 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 New Year Fireworks 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.
