What High Five does
The clip opens close on the first person grinning in a sunny park, then cuts wide as the second person steps in beside them. Both raise a hand and meet in a slow motion high five overhead, and the moment ends with the two of them laughing face to face.
Celebrate with a big high five
Upload a photo of each person and they walk up to each other for a big celebratory high five. Great for teammates and friends.
Both people stay recognizable
Each person keeps their own face, hair and clothes from their photo, so the result looks like them, not like two strangers.
Two people, one scene
Brings two people from two separate photos together in one shot, even if they have never been photographed side by side.
How to make a High Five video
- Upload two photos: first person and second person. You can also pick them 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 or three-quarter photo of each person so the effect has arms and hands to work with.
- Pick two photos with similar daylight so the pair looks like they were filmed in the same park.
- Avoid photos where hands are in pockets or holding drinks, since each person needs an open hand to raise.
Ideas for using it
- A coach posting a team-of-the-week clip of two players who made the big play.
- Two friends who live in different cities making a reunion teaser before a trip.
- A small business introducing its two cofounders on its About page or launch post.

High Five FAQ
Do the two photos need to be taken together?
No. Upload a separate photo of each person and the effect places them side by side in the same park scene.
Can I use a group photo for one of the slots?
Each slot should show one adult only. Crop a group photo down to the single person you want before uploading it.
Do I need to write a prompt for High Five?
No. High Five is a ready-made effect: upload two photos and press Generate. The directions for the motion, camera and lighting are already built in.
How long is the High Five 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.
Do both people need to be in the same photo?
No. Upload one photo of each person. Clear, front-facing photos where each face is easy to see give the most faithful result.
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.
