## What it does

It starts with you in your everyday setting, then you turn into profile as the change begins. Gray stone spreads through your skin, hair and clothes, and the room shifts into a museum hall with framed paintings, so you end as a carved marble bust lit by a skylight.

## From our test

We used a woman with her hair in a bun wearing a white T-shirt, and by the final frame her bun, face and the folds of her top are all carved stone in a gallery. It rendered in about 2 minutes.

## Tips for the best photo

- Hair pulled back or in an updo turns into especially clean carved stone.
- A waist-up or head-and-shoulders photo matches the classic bust look.
- Even lighting without harsh shadows gives the marble a smoother finish.

## Ideas for using it

- An art student making a playful profile video.
- A museum or gallery promoting a classical sculpture exhibit.
- A history teacher opening a lesson on ancient Greece.

## FAQ

### Do my clothes stay on the statue?

Yes. Your outfit turns to stone along with you, and in our test the T-shirt became a carved draped top.

### Will my face still look like me in marble?

The effect keeps the same face and pose, so your features carry into the stone, just in a gray carved finish.

### Do I need to write a prompt for Marble Statue?

No. Marble Statue 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 Marble Statue 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.
