What Gorilla Me does
A sweep of light turns you into a friendly, realistic gorilla standing in the same place. The gorilla looks at the camera, beats its chest playfully and grins.
Turn into a friendly gorilla
Your subject turns into a friendly gorilla wearing the same outfit, then beats its chest. Waist-up photos work best.
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.
How to make a Gorilla Me video
- 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 is ready in a minute or two. Save it to your library or download it.
Tips for the best photo
- Use a waist-up photo with your arms down and the whole upper body visible.
- Choose an outdoor or plain background, since it stays in the clip.
- Avoid hats and large accessories, which may not carry over onto the gorilla.
Ideas for using it
- A friend making a funny birthday greeting.
- A gym account joking about a strong lifting day.

Gorilla Me FAQ
Will the gorilla look scary?
It is meant to be friendly, with a grin and a playful chest beat.
Will my outfit appear on the gorilla?
The effect tries to keep it, but clothing can change in some renders.
Do I need to write a prompt for Gorilla Me?
No. Gorilla 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 Gorilla Me 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.
