## What it 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.

## From our test

We used a bearded man in a green hoodie in a park, and he turned into a big silverback gorilla that pounded its chest in front of the same trees. The hoodie did not carry over in our test, so expect some differences in clothing.

## 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.
- A teacher making a silly intro clip for a science class on primates.

## FAQ

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.

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.

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.

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.
