Learning how to make an AI video of yourself takes just one selfie, an effect tap, and a few moments to render a 5 or 10 second clip. Everything runs right in your browser on phone or computer with no app to download. This is not a talking avatar that reads a script, but an action clip starring you.

Real Results
Seeing how to make an AI video of yourself from everyday photos proves the model works without manual touch-ups. We ran two untouched inputs through MiniMax H3. A close-up selfie of a woman with dark wavy hair, gold hoops, and a mustard sweater by an apartment window produced the 5-second Bring to Life clip above for 20 credits. A dim mirror selfie of a man with curls and a beard, lit only by a bedside lamp, generated the 5-second Red Carpet clip for 20 credits, keeping his face, curls, and beard recognizable.

The man with dark curls and a beard walks the red carpet in front of a dark backdrop as flashes go off. He stops with a hand on his hip and waves.
Example 02
A woman with curly hair in a green blouse stands in a dark penthouse at night with city lights behind her. Banknotes rain down around her as she looks up in surprise, throws both arms up, and laughs.
Example 03
A young man with short blond hair in a black T-shirt stands on an empty city street at golden hour with a warm sun flare behind him. He turns from looking down the street to the camera and gives a small smile in a close head-and-shoulders shot.
Example 04
A man in a grey hoodie with a red cape crouches on a sunset rooftop, launches into the sky, and flies over the city. He holds one fist forward, grinning at the camera.
Example 05
A woman with a dark bob takes a selfie in a kitchen, and her friend with a long dark ponytail pops into the frame beside her. Both smile, and the woman from Photo 1 waves.
Example 06
A young man in a maroon T-shirt and a woman with curly hair in a green outfit walk the red carpet side by side. They stop together, and he waves and points at the camera while both smile.
Example 07
A grey-haired woman with glasses and a young man in a plaid shirt stand in red capes on a rooftop at sunset. They take off together and fly side by side over the city toward the camera.
Example 08

Example 09
A man in a navy T-shirt and the same golden retriever appear side by side on an empty city street at sunset with a warm sun flare. He turns to the camera and smiles, and the dog looks at the camera too.
Preset Effects

01
Seeing how to make an AI video of yourself with someone else is simple because every effect on this page uses Photo 2 when you upload one. The second person or pet appears directly in the scene next to you, while using only Photo 1 keeps you solo.
02
Add a friend to Bring to Life so they pop into the frame right beside you, and you end side by side facing the camera and waving.
03
We tested a partner with Red Carpet for 10 seconds where the two of you walk the carpet side by side, stop together, wave, and smile.
04
We tested a dog with Bring to Life and Main Character, where you wave and the dog pops in beside you or shares a golden-hour street close-up.
Comparison
Understanding how to make an AI video of yourself begins with knowing how it differs from clones and avatars.
This tool turns your selfie into a 5 or 10 second action clip like flying or walking a red carpet. You pick an effect chip rather than writing a prompt, and there is no voice, script, or dialogue.
An AI clone video is a different kind of clip with its own preset scenes, made on our separate AI Clone Video page; this page puts you (and one optional friend, partner or pet) into one of five effects.
A corporate ai avatar video of yourself animates a static picture to speak words from a script with synthetic lip sync. This page does not create talking avatars, spoken audio, or lip sync.
Ethical Creation
Learning how to make an AI video of yourself comes with the responsibility of respecting everyone who appears in your clips.
Always use your own selfies or photos that you have direct ownership of.
Always get clear permission from your friend, partner, or family member before uploading their picture to Photo 2.
Videos made by users without a subscription appear on the public Explore page, so only upload photos you are fine with others seeing.

Everything you need to know about how to make an AI video of yourself, credit costs, and tool features.
Start Generating FreeNew accounts get 20 credits, once per device and network. That covers one 5-second video. A 5-second video costs 20 credits; a 10-second video costs 40 credits. Paid plans start at $7.99 a month for 200 credits. You need to sign in to generate.
Yes, finding out how to make an AI video of yourself only requires a single photo in Photo 1 to make an ai video of me. Photo 2 is completely optional for when you want a second person or pet next to you. If you only provide Photo 1, only you appear in the video.
No, the tool does not generate speech, dialogue, or lip sync. MiniMax H3 always adds music to the clip, and there is no switch to turn sound off. The hidden prompt asks for an instrumental music style per effect with no lyrics and no dialogue, but you can swap the audio inside TikTok or Reels.
Discovering how to make an AI video of yourself here means placing your selfie into an action scene like flying or walking a red carpet. An AI clone video is a different kind of clip with its own preset scenes, made on our separate AI Clone Video page. This tool focuses strictly on turning one selfie and an optional second subject into five specific motion scenes.
In our tests most clips finish in under a minute; at busy times it can take a few minutes. A 5-second video costs 20 credits, and a 10-second video costs 40 credits. Paid plans start at $7.99 a month for 200 credits.
Yes, every effect incorporates Photo 2 when you upload one. We tested a friend with Bring to Life, a partner with Red Carpet for 10 seconds, a parent and son with Superhero, and a dog with Bring to Life and Main Character. We have not shown Money Rain with two photos.
No, exploring how to make an AI video of yourself happens entirely in your mobile or desktop web browser. You simply open the page, sign in, upload your photo, and generate your clip directly. There are no app store downloads or software installations required.
Testing how to make an AI video of yourself with a dim photo can still work, as shown by our mirror selfie example lit only by a bedside lamp. However, faces can drift with very dark, blurry, side-on, or group photos. Clear lighting and direct angles will always produce the most recognizable results.
Clips are limited to 5 or 10 seconds in vertical 9:16, with no custom prompt writing, horizontal formats, talking, voice, or lip sync. Each run is a new take where results vary, and videos made without a subscription appear on the public Explore page. For a full breakdown of social media tricks, check our guide on how to make an AI video of yourself to master viral trends.
