How to Make an Elf Dance Video With Your Face

By the Elf Dance AI team · Last updated:

This guide gets you from one photo to a finished elf dance video in about five minutes. No costume, no editing app and nothing to install.

Make your own elf dance video

Upload one photo of you or your dog or cat. Get the 10-second video in a few minutes, from $5.99.

Make mine from one photo

1. Pick the right photo

Use a recent, sharp photo of one adult where the face is clearly visible and looks toward the camera. Daylight or even indoor light works best, and a half-body or full-body photo helps the elf costume fit.

Avoid group photos, sunglasses, hats covering the eyes and beauty filters. For pets, get down to eye level so the face is not seen from above.

2. Choose the style

Elf Dance dresses you in a full elf costume in Santa’s workshop. Christmas Party keeps your own clothes and puts you in a decorated living room. Then choose "A person" or "A dog or cat".

3. Confirm and sign in

Tick the consent box (you are 18+ and the photo is you, your pet or an adult who agreed) and continue with Google. Your photo stays on the page while you sign in and pay.

4. Pick a pack and generate

Pick a pack: $5.99 for 1 video, $9.90 for 2 videos, $19.90 for 5 videos or $29.90 for 8 videos. The video starts by itself after payment and takes about 3–5 minutes; you can leave the page and we email you when it is ready.

5. Download and share

Download the vertical MP4 (10 seconds, with Christmas music) and send it to family, post it on TikTok or Reels, or use it as a Christmas video card. Keep the AI label when you post.

If it does not look right

Try a sharper, front-facing photo first. If a finished video still does not look like you or your pet, email yaohongan20@qq.com with your order ID and we refund you.
