What Reef Swim does
A quick dive takes you from your photo to a bright coral reef, where you drift in clear blue water. Schools of yellow and tropical fish swirl around you as sun rays shimmer from above.
You float through a coral reef with bright fish
You drift underwater in clear blue water as schools of colorful fish swim around you. Waist-up 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.

Tips for the best photo
