Fancy Cafe AI
You're perched on the tiny table like it's a stool, until someone walks in and sits on the bench. Then you quietly climb down.
Hop Hop Hop Dance AI
One of you up close presses the other one down from across the room, hop, hop, hop, then you swap places and it's payback.
Pick It Up Dance AI
Hands up, spin to the back, drop into the low squat and land the star jump: the pick it up, make it jump dance, starring you.
More trends
Coffee Fail AI
Two of you make one cup of coffee: the water goes in, the coffee lands on the counter, the milk floods it, and someone sips plain hot water.
Oh You Can Make It Cap AI
Two of you in the white studio: one opens and laughs it off, the other turns around with a little red bag, and nobody keeps a straight face.
Gangnam Style AI
Three of you in sunglasses on a night rooftop, pointing, leaning into the lens and waving it out.
Tiny Desk AI
Front a desk concert on your own: you crack up in the close-up, a session band handles everything else.
Basketball Middle Finger AI
Drive past the defender, elevate with dual middle fingers high, drop the bucket, and land with cold swagger.
Check One Check Two AI
Shove your face into the lens on a night street and spit the bars like you mean it.
Money Spread AI
Hug a brick of cash, shower the bills down and fan a fortune out in front of your face.
Bby Wow Guy AI
Strut up through a quinceañera, bite the pan dulce, stare down the lens, dance away.
Hotel Lobby AI
Two of you at the hanging mic: one raps every bar, the other hypes, turns and meets them face to face.
Crazy Frog AI
Ride an invisible motorbike down a future highway with a hover-bike cop on your tail.
Fergie Baby AI
Push through the park gate and rap the whole walk straight down the lens.

Questions, answered
What is EffectReel?
A web app that puts anyone in viral video trends. Pick an effect — Fancy Cafe, Hop Hop Hop Dance, Pick It Up Dance, Coffee Fail, Oh You Can Make It Cap, Gangnam Style, Tiny Desk, Basketball Middle Finger, Check One Check Two, Money Spread, Bby Wow Guy, Hotel Lobby, Crazy Frog and Fergie Baby — upload one photo of a person (one each for a duet), and get the finished trend video with them in it. No app, no prompts or editing, and no account needed for a single video.
What photo works best?
One person, face clearly visible and facing the camera, in good light. Waist-up or full-body photos carry the outfit best; a selfie works too. Avoid group photos, sunglasses and heavy filters.
How long does it take?
Usually ready in about 10–20 minutes, always within the hour. You can close the page — we email you the link when it's ready.
How much does it cost? Is it free?
It isn't free. A video uses 10 credits (Tiny Desk and Hotel Lobby use 20): $9.99 buys one video, or $19.99 for 30 credits and $49.99 for 100. One-time payment, no subscription. Credits work on every effect, stay valid for 2 years from your latest purchase, and a failed video returns its credits automatically.
Does the video come with the song?
No. Every video is a silent HD MP4 without a watermark, so the app's sound never fights it and nothing gets muted. Each effect page shows which trend sound to add and where the beat should land.
What if I don't like my video?
Tap "Needs work" on the result page and tell us what's off — a real person reads every one and replies by email. If a video fails to generate at all, its credit comes back on its own.
Can I use someone else's photo?
Only with their permission. Making a video of a friend for a laugh is the point — but don't use a stranger's or a celebrity's photo, and don't present the video as real footage.
Is EffectReel safe? What happens to my photo?
Your photo is used only to make your video: never to identify anyone, never sold, never used to train models. Uploaded photos and finished videos are deleted automatically after 30 days, or sooner if you email support. Payment goes through a secure checkout, so we never see or store your card. A single video needs no account; credits you keep for later are saved to a password-free account (an emailed code or Google).
Can I use a photo of my kid or a baby?
No. Photos of anyone under 18 aren't allowed. Use a photo of yourself or of an adult who has agreed to it.
Can I post the video on TikTok, Reels or YouTube Shorts?
Yes: the video is yours to post on personal and social media accounts, as long as you have the rights to the photo and the person in it agreed. Label it as AI-generated and don't present it as real footage. Business accounts should add licensed audio, such as TikTok's Commercial Music Library.
How long can I download my video?
For 30 days. We email you the link when the video is ready; download the MP4 from it, because finished videos are deleted automatically 30 days after they're made.
