What Hologram does
The clip starts in your real setting, then a ring of blue light appears at your feet and scans up your body. The room goes dark and you become a translucent blue projection standing on a glowing pad, flickering softly with light rings around your waist and shoulders.
Turn into a glowing hologram
Your subject flickers into a glowing blue sci-fi hologram projected above a pad. Portraits and full-body photos both work.
Still looks like you
The video opens on your exact photo, so the face, hair, outfit and surroundings carry through the whole effect.
Movie-style effects without editing software
Effects that used to mean compositing and particle work in an editor, rendered in one pass with lighting that matches your photo.
How to make a Hologram 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
- Full-body photos look best because the projector pad sits under your feet.
- Stand with a clear outline, arms slightly away from your body, so the hologram keeps your shape.
- Simple, fitted outfits read better as a hologram than loose layers.
Ideas for using it
- A tech startup founder introducing themselves in a pitch deck video.
- A sci-fi fan making a space-adventure message for a friend.
- A conference speaker posting a futuristic teaser for their talk.

Hologram FAQ
Will people still recognize me as a hologram?
Your pose and outfit shape carry over, so the projection reads as you, though the blue glow softens fine facial detail.
Can I use a portrait instead of a full-body photo?
Yes. Portraits and full-body photos both work, but a full-body shot shows off the projector pad at your feet.
Do I need to write a prompt for Hologram?
No. Hologram 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 Hologram 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.
