Two photos · one hug · any occasion
An AI hug video takes two separate photos, one person in each, and generates the two of them turning or stepping toward each other and sharing a hug in one steady shot. It is moving video, not a slideshow of the photos. Pick an occasion below for ready-made settings and a note to paste, then make a 5 or 10-second clip in 9:16 or 16:9.
Make a hug videoAn AI hug video is a short clip in which two people from two different photos appear together and hug. The model reads photo 1 as one person and photo 2 as the other, places both in one softly lit scene and animates the approach, the embrace and a small smile at the end.
That is the difference from many "hug" templates in editing apps, which slide or cross-fade between your pictures. Here the arms, the step forward and the hold are generated frame by frame. It also means the result is an interpretation: faces stay close to the photos but are not a copy of them, so check each clip before you share it.
| You add | Two photos, one person in each, plus a gentle or reunion hug. An optional note sets the place or mood. |
|---|---|
| What moves | Both people turn or step toward each other, raise their arms, hug and hold. One steady eye-level shot, no cuts or zooms. |
| You get | An MP4 of 5 or 10 seconds, 9:16 or 16:9, at 480p, 720p or 1080p. |
| Sound | Silent by default. Tick the box for soft ambience; there is never music or speech, so you can add your own song. |
| Models | Seedance 2.0 Mini (default, 480p/720p) and Seedance 2.0 Pro (480p/720p/1080p). Both receive the two photos as separate identity references. |
| Price | From 7 credits (about $0.26). The default 5 s 720p Mini clip is 14 credits. |
| Watermark | Videos from free accounts carry a moving watermark. Any purchase unlocks the clean file, including videos you made earlier. |
| If it fails | A failed or declined run returns its credits automatically. |
Most hug clips are made for a date on the calendar. Each card says which two photos work, which settings to choose and a note you can paste into the optional box. The note only steers the place and mood; the hug itself is already written into the tool.
For a couple, including one that spends most of the year apart.
Partners, siblings or friends in different countries counting down to the next visit.
A surprise clip for a friend you can't celebrate with in person.
A grown child and a parent, or a grandchild and a grandparent.
A nostalgic post pairing you today with a teenage or young-adult photo of you.
A grandparent, a friend who moved away, or someone who has passed. Make it privately first and decide later whether to share.
Keep notes to places, light, clothing and mood. Asking for kissing, extra people or dramatic camera moves works against the built-in direction and tends to break the hug.
Five short hug clips that show the kind of motion this tool asks for: two people, one steady shot, a calm or reunion hug. Your clip will use your own two photos and a scene drawn from photo 1 and your note.

What to expect: hands and fingers can blur during the embrace, a face turned away from the camera may drift, and a busy background can shift between frames. A second try with clearer photos often fixes it.
Photo 1 also sets the look of the scene, so put the photo with the nicer light first. One person per photo, face and shoulders visible.
Gentle starts close together and settles into a calm hug. Reunion adds a small step forward and open arms, which suits arrivals and surprises.
5 or 10 seconds, 9:16 or 16:9. Seedance 2.0 Mini starts at 7 credits and the default 5 s 720p clip costs 14; Seedance 2.0 Pro adds 1080p.
The clip usually arrives within a few minutes and stays under My videos. Download the MP4 and add music or captions in your editing app.
The model only knows what the two photos show. These choices make the biggest difference to a believable hug.
You don't need to write a full AI hug video prompt here. The tool sends a fixed direction with every clip, timed to the length you pick. In short, it asks for:
Your note is added at the end as extra direction. Use it for the setting, the time of day, clothing or the mood, as in the occasion cards above.
Search for an AI hug video app and you will find three kinds of tools. They are priced and named alike, but what you download is very different.
| What to check | This page's tool | Photo-slideshow "hug" templates | General video models with your own prompt |
|---|---|---|---|
| Is the hug generated? | Yes: approach, arms and hold are animated. | Often not: the photos slide, zoom or cross-fade. | Yes, if the model takes reference images and you write the motion. |
| Two separate photos? | Yes, each photo is its own identity reference. | Yes, but they are only displayed, not animated together. | Depends on the model; some need one combined image first. |
| Length and frame | 5 or 10 s, 9:16 or 16:9. | Fixed by the template. | Usually 5–10 s; set per model. |
| Sound | Silent or soft ambience, no music. | Usually a set song. | Varies by model. |
| What a retry costs | Each run is charged once; failed runs are refunded. | Varies; some apps charge to export or to remove a watermark. | Each attempt is charged at the model's rate. |
Quick test for any app: watch the example and look at the arms. If they never move and the two photos just meet in the middle, it is a slideshow.
One clip is charged once when it starts, and the charge depends only on model, length and resolution. Sound and frame are free choices.

The clip is made to be finished in TikTok, Instagram or CapCut. A few things decide how it lands.
Hug clips are a popular paid gift: an anniversary surprise, a Mother's Day post for a shop, a reunion clip for a wedding slideshow. Before you take orders:
How generated videos may be used is set out in the Terms of service
Yes. The two photos don't need the same background or camera. The tool builds one new scene, drawn from photo 1 and your optional note, and places both people in it. Crop both selfies to a similar size (face and shoulders, or waist up) and avoid one being much darker than the other.
Not in one clip. The hug direction is written for exactly two people, and adding a third usually breaks the arms and faces. For a family, make one clip per pair (each sibling with Mom, for example) and join them in CapCut or your phone's editor.
This tool isn't built for it. Its direction asks for two people with arms around each other, so a pet photo tends to be drawn wrong. A pet clip needs a model and prompt written for an animal running into your arms.
Yes, as long as the younger photo shows one person clearly. Put your current photo first if its light is better, choose Gentle, and use a note such as a sunlit room. Very small childhood photos that are blurry give the model little to keep, so pick the sharpest one you have.
Clips are silent unless you tick the ambient sound box, and they never include music or speech. Add your song in TikTok, Instagram or your editor when you post; using the app's licensed library avoids muted audio and copyright claims.
For realistic clips of real people, yes: TikTok, Instagram and YouTube ask creators to switch on their AI-generated label. It also helps viewers who might otherwise think the meeting really happened.
You can, if everyone in the photos (or their family) agreed and the ad is labeled as AI. For customer photos in an ad, get written consent that covers advertising, and don't use photos of public figures.
The cheapest clip (Seedance 2.0 Mini, 5 s, 480p) is 7 credits, about $0.26; the default 720p clip is 14 credits, about $0.52. There is no subscription requirement: the $5 Trial Pack (24 credits) covers a first video. Generating needs a free account, so there is no no-login version. New accounts get 10 free credits. The cheapest hug video costs 7. Videos from free accounts carry a moving watermark. Any purchase unlocks the clean file, including videos you made earlier.
Five or ten seconds, a real generated hug, and every price on this page.
