What Sea Siren does
In a shimmer of light, your photo turns into a misty ocean dusk. You sit on a dark rock in a long sleeved gown of sea green scales and a small pearl crown while waves crash softly around you.
You rise from the waves as a shimmering sea siren
You appear on a misty ocean rock in a long-sleeved scale-patterned gown with a pearl crown. Waist-up portraits 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.
A full transformation in one shot
The change happens on camera in one continuous take, so viewers see the before and the after in the same clip.
How to make a Sea Siren video
- Upload a photo, or pick one from your library.
- Press Generate. There is no prompt to write; the effect is already set up.
- Your 5 second HD video is ready in a minute or two. Save it to your library or download it.
Tips for the best photo
- Use a waist up portrait with your face and hair clearly visible.
- Wear plain clothes, since the gown replaces your outfit.
- Choose soft, even light so the face holds up against the dusky sea.
Ideas for using it
- A fantasy themed profile image for a mermaid or cosplay account.
- A Halloween or costume party invitation.
- A book cover teaser for a fantasy novel with the author as the lead.
