What is a haunted portrait animation?

A haunted portrait animation is the Halloween classic of the painting that seems to watch you: the person in an old, gilded portrait comes to life, leans out of the frame and climbs into the room. People also search for it as haunted painting ai.

Our template makes you the portrait, from one photo, with your own face, hair and outfit. The gilded frame, the candles, the fog, the camera and the sound come with it.

Questions

Is the haunted portrait animation free?

No. A template video uses 750 credits at 480p (1,500 in HD), about $10 with a credit pack. Starter and Pro plans pay half (375) and Unlimited pays 30%: 225 credits a video, about $2.25. The 100 free credits you get when you sign up are not enough for one video.

Is it scary?

The haunted portrait animation is spooky, not gory: candlelight, drifting fog and a portrait that comes to life. No blood, nothing gruesome.

Do I wear a costume?

No. You keep your face, hair and the outfit from your photo; the haunted look comes from the old frame, the candles and the fog.

Whose photo can I use?

Adults only: photos of children are not supported. Your own, or a friend’s who agreed to it. No famous people. Uploads go through an automatic safety check.
