What Levitate does
You stand calmly on the grass, eyes closing as the clip begins. Slowly your feet leave the ground and your arms drift out to the sides, and by the end there is a clear stretch of air between your feet and the lawn while leaves float upward around you.
Float calmly off the ground
Your subject closes their eyes and floats calmly into the air while leaves drift around them. Full-body 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.
Made for short-form video
Built for the clips people share on Reels, TikTok and Shorts: one clear moment in five seconds, framed to stop the scroll.
How to make a Levitate 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
- Use a full-body photo with your feet in frame so the gap under them is the payoff.
- Grass, sand or a plain floor makes the lift easier to see than a busy background.
- Stand still with relaxed arms; a mid-stride or jumping photo confuses the float.
Ideas for using it
- A yoga or meditation teacher posting a calm clip to promote a retreat.
- A musician using it as a dreamy visualizer for a slow track.
- Wedding guests making a surprise clip of a friend floating at an outdoor venue.

Levitate FAQ
Will it look like I am just jumping?
No. We tuned this effect so the rise is slow and steady and your feet clearly hang above the ground at the end.
Does it work with a photo taken indoors?
It can, but an outdoor full-body photo with open ground gives the floating gap the most room to show.
Do I need to write a prompt for Levitate?
No. Levitate 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 Levitate 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.
