About this effect

What happens
in your video.

Colorful balloons and warm string lights fill the background and the outfit changes to a bright, festive party dress or shirt.

The person waves and says "Happy birthday!" once. Confetti falls and the person holds up a small cupcake with one lit candle toward the camera.

Look straight at the camera in your photo; the spoken birthday wish lands better when the person is already facing the viewer. The sample features an AI generated fictional adult man.

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.

A clear selfie or a photo from the waist up of one consenting adult works best.

Good to know

A little clarity
before you create.

Can the video say a name?

No. The spoken line is fixed as "Happy birthday!" and is said once. Add a name or message in your own editor or when you send the video.

Who is this birthday video for?

It is a greeting you send to someone else on their birthday: you appear, say "Happy birthday!" and hold up a cupcake.

Is the cupcake candle lit?

Yes. It shows one small lit candle near the end, held at chest height beside the face.

Can I make it for my own birthday?

You can. Many people post it as a thank you to friends who sent wishes.
