What Knight does
Steel plates appear on your subject's chest and shoulders while the background is still your original setting. In the next beat the backdrop turns into a castle with tall stone towers and flags. The clip ends with your subject in full armor, helmet on and face showing, raising a sword in the golden light.
Armor up like a medieval knight
Shining plate armor forms piece by piece around your subject as a castle rises behind them. 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 Knight 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 plays right on the page. Save it to your library or download it.
Tips for the best photo
- Waist-up photos leave room for the breastplate, shoulder armor and the raised sword.
- Face the camera directly so your face stays clear inside the open helmet.
- Plain tops work best, since the armor forms over whatever you're wearing.
Ideas for using it
- A Renaissance fair or medieval festival promoting this year's event.
- A tabletop game group introducing their party's new campaign.
- A history teacher kicking off a lesson unit with a fun intro clip.

Will a helmet hide my face?
No. The helmet stays open, so your face shows from start to finish.
Will my hair show under the armor?
The open helmet and its mail hood frame the face, so the face carries the likeness.
