What you haveUse this approachWhat to expect
Photo + dance sample
Choose a motion reference
Choose a sample to try the workflow quickly.
Photo + uploaded video
Choose a motion reference
Yes. Upload a clear motion clip with one visible performer. Check the supported format, file size and duration shown for your current settings before uploading.
Photo checklist
Choose a photo that leaves room to move
The useful detail is not just the face. The frame should show the parts of the body you want to animate.
CheckPreferWhy it matters
Subject
One clearly visible person or character
Group photos make it harder to specify who should move.
Framing
Whole body for footwork; waist-up for a portrait groove
Cropped limbs leave the model to invent parts of the performance.
Pose and background
Visible hands, separated arms, a simple background
An uncluttered silhouette gives you a clearer starting point for the routine.
Model and duration
Model and duration
Output is fixed at 720p and duration follows the reference video. Available aspect ratios and media limits depend on the model. Changing models keeps your media; replace any files marked incompatible.
Review credits and generate
Videos are generated at 720p. Output duration follows the reference, rounded to whole seconds and raised to the model's minimum when needed. Review the credit cost, then generate.
Review the result
Watch the face, hands, body proportions and foot contact. If movement breaks down, choose a clearer photo or a simpler motion reference and try again.

FAQ
Photo-to-dance questions
Should I choose 9:16 for TikTok or Reels?
9:16 is a useful starting format for vertical social clips. Keep the dancer away from the edges and leave room for feet and arm gestures. Check the full video before uploading it to your chosen platform.
Will the dance automatically match a song beat for beat?
The reference guides timing, but exact choreography and beat synchronization are not guaranteed. Review the result and align it with a soundtrack in an editor if needed.
What if I only have a selfie?
Start with a close portrait groove: head nods, shoulders and small visible gestures. If you need full-body footwork, choose or create a suitable full-body image before generating the dance.
