## What it does

The scene begins in normal light, then the room dims and a pink line traces around your silhouette. By the end the space is nearly dark and your outline glows in pink and violet, pulsing gently while you hold your pose.

## From our test

We tested a dancer in black clothes posing in a bright studio with a ballet barre, and the final frames show only a glowing purple outline of her raised arm and extended leg in a dark room. It took about 4 minutes to render.

## Tips for the best photo

- A strong, clear pose with arms or legs extended gives the neon line a shape worth tracing.
- Make sure your whole body or object sits inside the frame so the outline is complete.
- Plain backgrounds help the outline stand out once the room goes dark.

## Ideas for using it

- A dance studio promoting a new class on Instagram Reels.
- A bar or club announcing a themed party night.
- A product shot of sneakers turned into a nightlife style teaser.

## FAQ

### Does it work with a pet or an object?

No. The effect keeps the same subject and pose, and only the lighting changes around you.

### Do I need to write a prompt for Neon Glow?

No. Neon Glow is a ready-made effect: upload a photo and press Generate. The directions for the motion, camera and lighting are already built in.

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.
