## What it does

Your pet stands on the sidewalk, then a skateboard appears and it steps aboard. The camera tracks alongside as it rolls down the street with its ears blowing back. It rolls to a stop and looks at the camera, clearly pleased with itself.

## From our test

We used a fawn French bulldog in a harness on a city sidewalk, and it rode a wooden board down the road past a parked white car with its tongue out. The render took about 2 minutes.

## Tips for the best photo

- Use a full-body photo of your pet standing, not lying down.
- Outdoor street or sidewalk photos fit the ride best.
- Harnesses and leashes are fine, but a clear view of the paws helps the board sit naturally under them.

## Ideas for using it

- A skate shop posting a playful clip with the shop dog.
- A pet influencer account sharing a weekend ride reel.
- A dog groomer showing a freshly groomed client heading home in style.

## FAQ

### Does my pet need to be outside in the photo?

It helps. An outdoor photo gives the effect a street to roll down, while indoor photos may look less natural.

### Will a leash stay in the clip?

In our test the leash stayed attached as the bulldog rode, so expect anything in your photo to come along.

### Do I need to write a prompt for Skater Pet?

No. Skater Pet 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 Skater Pet 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 Skater Pet on any pet?

Cats, dogs and most other pets work. The clearer the face and the more of the body in frame, the better the motion looks.
