Good questions.
Clear answers.

Everything before your first shake.

Can I upload from my phone and download with a QR code?

Yes. Sign in on your computer and choose Upload from phone. Scan the QR code, upload one photo without signing in on the phone, and it appears in the generator. Once your video is ready, scan its download QR to save it on your phone. Links expire after 10 minutes; photo upload links can be used once. Both devices must be able to reach the site.

Can I download an animated GIF?

Yes. Choose Convert to GIF after generation. Your browser creates a looping GIF at 10 frames per second, with a maximum edge of 480 pixels, without using extra Video Passes. Download it directly, or choose its QR download button to upload a private copy for phone delivery. GIFs have no sound and use a reduced color palette.

What is the shaking head AI effect?

It turns a single photo into a short reaction video: the person or animal slowly shakes their head from side to side, as if to say “absolutely not.” Add a short caption for your own take on the meme.

Can I use a person, a cat or a dog?

Yes. Upload one clear, front-facing photo of one person or animal. Both eyes should be visible, with space around the head. Use a JPG, PNG or WebP under 10 MB and only photos you own or have permission to animate.

How many Video Passes does it use?

Each six-second video uses 1 Video Pass at 480p or 3 at 720p. Pass packs start at $8.99, are purchased once, and never expire. These are the same Video Passes used for other eligible effects on Visual Maker AI, separate from general credits.

Will my caption be included in the video?

Your caption is sent to the video model to render into the clip. The preview shows your chosen text immediately, but AI spelling, positioning and exact movement can vary in the finished video. Leave the field empty for a clean video and add text in your preferred editor.

What do I get, and does it include sound?

A six-second vertical 9:16 MP4 at your selected resolution. This effect requests a silent reaction clip; original trend music is not included. Download the result and add audio you have permission to use in your social app.

Can I leave while it generates? What if it fails?

Yes. Generation runs in the background. Return to this page in the same browser to resume checking progress, or find the result in your generation history. If the task fails, its spent Video Passes are returned automatically.

Are the examples made with this tool?

The cat motion example is a third-party reference. The trend clip is credited to @baller213465 on TikTok. They illustrate the reaction style and are not outputs from Visual Maker AI. The overlaid caption in our generator is a live preview.

Your photo. Your reaction.

Got a face that says it all?

Give it six seconds in the spotlight.
