Can I add "Merry Christmas" text?

Does it work for cats?

Yes. Upload a clear photo of one cat with its face visible.

Does the video have sound?

No. It is silent, so you can add a Christmas song or your voice before sending it.

Silent video

PetCostumeAI's snowy Christmas video turns one photo of your dog or cat into a 5-second greeting: your pet sits in a snowy garden at dusk under warm Christmas lights, a red Santa hat and knitted scarf appear, and it looks at the camera. The camera stays still. The video is silent, vertical or square, and costs 300–800 credits by quality.

Image effects create still pictures. Effect videos are delivered silently, without a soundtrack.

Photo tips

01Use one pet in the frame.
02A sitting, front-facing photo works best, because your pet ends by looking at the camera.
03Choose square 1:1 for messaging apps and vertical 9:16 for stories.

A Christmas card that moves

This clip is made to be sent: a calm snowy scene, a festive reveal and your pet looking at the camera, ready for your own message. The hat is created by the effect, so your pet does not have to wear anything. If you try a real one, the ASPCA says it should not restrict movement or hearing, or make it hard to breathe, bark or meow.
