## What it does

A shimmer turns you into a pale, handmade stop-motion doll with big dark-ringed eyes. You stand on a moonlit hill with crooked bare trees under a swirling sky and tilt your head with a small eerie smile.

## From our test

A dark-haired woman in a dark top was our test subject. She became a thin doll with huge eyes under a full moon beside twisted trees, and it took about 3 minutes.

## Tips for the best photo

- Use a clear front-facing face photo.
- Long, dark hair works well for the doll style.
- Pick a simple background.

## Ideas for using it

- A Halloween creator posts a spooky profile clip.
- A fan of stop-motion films makes a tribute.

## FAQ

### Will the doll look like me?

It keeps your hairstyle and outfit colors, but in a doll form.

### Does the doll move smoothly?

It moves in slightly jerky steps on purpose, like a handmade stop-motion figure.

### Do I need to write a prompt for Gothic Doll?

No. Gothic Doll 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 Gothic Doll 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.
