About this effect

What happens
in your video.

An ordinary room turns into a birthday celebration with streamers. Shiny pink, gold and blue balloons rise into the frame around the person while the portrait stays close.

The person looks around in surprise, brings their hands toward their cheeks and laughs. They catch a balloon string as gold confetti drifts through the scene.

A photo with some headroom works best because the balloons rise up around and above the head. The sample features an AI generated fictional adult woman.

Works best

  • One adult, face clearly visible
  • Soft, even light on the face
  • Selfie or framing from the waist up

Avoid

  • Sunglasses, masks or hands over the face
  • Group photos or tiny faces
  • Photos of children

Your turn

Make the scene yours.

Good to know

A little clarity
before you create.

What does this birthday video maker add to my photo?

It creates a balloon filled birthday setting, a surprised reaction and drifting confetti. You do not need balloons or decorations in the source photo, and no written greeting is added.

Which balloon colors float up in the birthday surprise?

Pastel pink, gold and blue helium balloons with gold confetti.

Does the person hold a balloon?

Yes. Near the end they catch one balloon string with a laugh.

Is it better for a surprise message?

Yes. The delighted surprised reaction suits "you made my day" thank you posts.
