What Trail Cam does
Grainy night-vision footage shows your pet tiptoeing across the grass. It stops, looks into the lens with glowing eyes and comes right up to the camera.
Your pet, caught on a night camera
Grainy night-vision footage catches your pet sneaking across the yard and freezing at the lens. Clear photos of the whole pet work best.
Still unmistakably your pet
The video opens on your exact photo, so your pet’s fur, markings and surroundings carry through the whole effect.
Your pet as the star
Keeps your pet’s fur, markings and face so it still looks like your cat or dog, just doing something it never would.

- Upload a photo, or pick one from your library.
- Press Generate. There is no prompt to write; the effect is already set up.

Tips for the best photo
- Use a clear photo of the whole pet outdoors on grass or ground.
- Photos where the pet faces the camera give the best close-up.
