Make your zombie video

Pick an effect, add one photo and get a short AI zombie video made from it.

Choose an effect

A clear photo of one person, face toward the camera. (JPG, PNG or WebP · up to 4 MB · at least 256 px on each side)

Your photo stays on this device until you start a video, then it is uploaded privately.

Video length

Example clips are coming soon. We only show real renders from this site, each with a note about the photo it started from, so this space stays empty until we have them.

What the zombie transformation looks like

The clip begins as your untouched photo, which is what makes a transformation video work: viewers see the real you before anything changes. Over the next few seconds the colour drains from the skin to a grey-green, dark veins spread across the face and neck, the eyes turn a cloudy white and the hair becomes messy and dusty.

Then the person moves. They twitch, tilt their head and mouth a low growl toward the camera while the light turns cold and flickers like a horror film, with a slow push-in. The look is movie makeup, not gore: no blood, no wounds and no weapons, so it stays fun to share.

Which transformation effect to pick

All four effects on this page start from your photo and end with a zombie. The difference is the setting and the mood:

  • Zombie Transformation: the classic close-up change with horror lighting. Best for face photos.
  • Halloween Zombie: pumpkins and orange lights, a smile, then a playful zombie pose. Best for party season.
  • Zombie Apocalypse: the street behind you becomes an outbreak scene before you start to turn. Best for upper-body or full-body photos.
  • Zombie Pet: a cute, clumsy zombie version of your dog or cat with its tail still wagging.

A zombie filter video, not a face swap

Phone filters paint zombie makeup over your face in real time; face-swap apps paste your face onto a stock zombie. This is different. The video model animates your actual photo, so your clothes, pose and background stay the same while the change happens. That continuity is what makes a zombie transformation video satisfying to watch, and it is why the same clip works as a before-and-after.

Because the result is a video, you will not get a separate still image. If you need a picture as well, pause on the frame you like and take a screenshot; it will be at the clip's 768p resolution.

How to make an AI zombie transformation video

  1. Upload a clear portrait

    Face toward the camera, eyes visible, good light. A selfie is fine. JPG, PNG or WebP up to 4 MB.

  2. Choose the effect and length

    Pick Zombie Transformation for the classic change, or another effect for a different setting. Six seconds is punchy; 10 seconds makes the change slower and creepier.

  3. Generate and post the before-and-after

    Download the clip when it is ready. It already starts on your real photo, so it works as a before-and-after without extra editing.

Tips for a convincing transformation

  • Fill the frame with the face

    Close portraits show the skin, veins and eyes changing. Wide shots make the details small.

  • Neutral or slight smile

    A calm expression in the photo gives the transformation more room to feel dramatic.

  • Skip heavy beauty filters

    Smoothed or stylized selfies can make the face drift. A natural photo keeps likeness better.

  • Hook in the first second

    On TikTok, add text like "POV: the bite worked" over the opening frame so people stay for the change.

Frequently asked questions

How do I make myself a zombie in a video?

Upload a clear photo of yourself, choose the Zombie Transformation effect, pick 6 or 10 seconds and generate. The video starts as your photo and then turns you into a zombie.

Is this a zombie face filter?

Not in the phone-filter sense. It does not work live through your camera. It animates one uploaded photo into a short video, and the output is a video rather than an edited picture.

Can I write my own transformation prompt?

No. Each effect has a tested scene built in, so you get a consistent, safe result without writing prompts. You choose the effect, the photo and the length.

How good is the video quality?

Clips are rendered at 768p by the MiniMax H3 video model, which is sharp on a phone screen. They are 6 or 10 seconds long.

What if the render fails?

Failed renders are refunded to your credit balance automatically, and credits never expire, so you can try again with another photo.
