## What it does

You smile at the camera, then a shimmer of light passes over you. You come out as an opposite-gender version of yourself, with the same eyes, skin tone and smile, a new hairstyle and a matching outfit in the same colors.

## From our test

We used a man in a navy sweater, and a bright streak of light crosses the frame in the second shot. By the third frame he has become a smiling woman with long wavy hair in the same navy sweater, and she keeps the same warm expression to the end. The render took about 3 minutes.

## Tips for the best photo

- Use a clear, front-facing photo with your face fully visible and evenly lit.
- Wear a plain, fitted top. The outfit is recreated in matching colors, and simple styles carry over best.
- Avoid hats and heavy filters. They hide features the effect needs to keep your likeness.

## Ideas for using it

- A fun friend-group challenge where everyone posts their opposite self.
- A birthday or party clip that guesses what you would look like.
- A comedy skit opener on a creator's channel.

## FAQ

### Will it still look like me?

It keeps your eyes, skin tone, smile and expression, so the new version looks like a relative of yours rather than a stranger.

### Is the result clothed and family friendly?

Yes. The clip keeps everyone fully clothed in a matching version of your outfit.

### Do I need to write a prompt for Opposite Me?

No. Opposite Me 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 Opposite Me 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.
