## What it does

A sweep of light replaces your background with a spotlit competition stage and a roaring crowd. Your physique grows into a muscular, bronzed build, and you lift both arms into a double biceps flex with a proud grin.

## From our test

We used a smiling man in a grey tee at a gym, and the frames showed a quick blur, then a bronzed bodybuilder in a plain black tank hitting the flex under blue stage lights with a crowd behind. We kept the tank top plain, and the render took about 3 minutes.

## Tips for the best photo

- Use a waist-up photo with your arms visible and not crossed, so the flex has a clear starting point.
- Smile or show a warm expression, since the grin carries into the final pose.
- Wear a fitted top in a plain color so the new outfit replaces it without odd overlaps.

## Ideas for using it

- A lifter posting a joke competition clip to a gym group chat.
- A personal trainer making a funny transformation teaser for their clients.
- Someone creating a playful birthday clip for a friend who lives at the gym.

## FAQ

### Is this meant as a real before and after of my body?

No, it is a playful fantasy scene. The build and tan are generated for fun, not a prediction of results.

### Will my face stay the same?

Yes, the effect keeps your face while the body, outfit and stage change.

### Do I need to write a prompt for Flex Stage?

No. Flex Stage 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 Flex Stage 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.
