Pick your hug
Every scene is a different way the moment can play out — the setting, the light, the mood. Choose one in the generator above, or start from the scene that feels closest.
Moments people make with AI Hug
The same tool serves very different feelings — pick the one that matches yours.
Relive a precious memory
Recreate a hug with someone who is no longer here. Families use AI Hug for anniversaries, memorials, and quiet goodbyes that were never said in person.
Meet your hero
A hug with the person who got you through something — a musician, an athlete, a character. Keep it respectful, keep it clearly AI.
Bridge the distance
You are on two continents and the visit is months away. A hug video says what the calls cannot.
Hug another time
You and you: your past self before the move, your future self after the finish line. Strange, and strangely moving.
How AI Hug works
From upload to share-ready clip — four steps, no editing timeline, no prompts to write.
-
01
Add your photo or photos
One photo with both faces, or one photo per person. We join them into a single scene before generating — you never write a prompt unless you want to.
-
02
Pick the scene
Airport reunion, first snow, golden hour — fourteen ways the hug can happen. Each one changes the setting, the light and the pacing.
-
03
Choose model, quality and length
MiniMax H3 offers 768P and 2K, Seedance 2.5 offers 720P and 1080P — then a 4-, 8- or 15-second moment. The live cost counter updates as you choose.

AI Hug cost
Total cost = per-second rate × length, and each model has its own resolution tiers. Credits are held when the job starts and returned in full if generation fails.
| Model | Quality | 4 seconds | 8 seconds | 15 seconds | Per second | Buy 4s |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| MiniMax H3 | 768P | 64 | 128 | 240 | 16 | $2.99 |
| MiniMax H3 | 2K | 100 | 200 | 375 | 25 | — |
| Seedance 2.5 | 720P | 500 | 1000 | 1875 | 125 | $5.99 |
| Seedance 2.5 | 1080P | 1280 | 2560 | 4800 | 320 | — |
Credits only leave your balance when the video is delivered · “Buy 4s” pays once for a single clip, no credits needed.
Input requirements
Faces visible and well lit
Sharp, front-facing faces produce the most convincing result. Lighting for the scene is added by the model, not your photo.
One photo works too
A single photo with both people in frame is fine — make sure both faces are clear. Two separate photos give the model a little more to work with.
Avoid group scenes
Three or more faces confuse the model about who should be hugging whom. Crop to the two people who matter.
Any background is fine
The generated scene replaces the original backgrounds entirely, so the two photos never need to be taken in the same place.
Tips from people who made one
Small input choices change the result more than any setting.
Face each other in the photos
Photos where the two people are angled toward each other produce the most natural embrace — the model follows the existing body direction.
Match the poses
Two photos taken from a similar height and distance blend far better than one selfie plus one full-body shot.
Let the scene do the mood
Resist over-directing with the custom prompt. First snow or golden hour already carries most of the feeling.
Genuine smiles travel
Photos with real expressions — laughing, mid-word, soft — make warmer hugs than posed passport faces.
Short and looped wins
A 4-second clip loops seamlessly on social feeds. Save the 15-second version for the moment that deserves the full build-up.

| Photo joining | One or two photos, joined into one scene automatically | You pre-edit a composite image by hand |

What people mean by "AI Hug"
The AI hug trend is the quiet counterpoint to dance and rap clips: two people who were never in the same room, brought into one warm embrace. It shows up as long-distance reunions, family photos, and gentle announcements where a dramatic effect would feel wrong.
Our AI Hug template builds that moment from the photos you own and nothing else — no reference video, no motion capture, and no face mapping onto existing footage. Pick a scene, pick a length, and you get a clip at up to 2K, ready to post without a watermark.
Want the long version — how the models work, which photos to choose, and the ethics of synthetic embraces? The full guide walks through everything step by step.
Read the AI Hug guide →FAQ
Do I need two separate photos?
No — either works. One photo with both people in frame is fine as long as both faces are clear and front-facing. Two separate photos, one per person, give the model slightly more freedom.
Can the two photos be taken in different places?
Yes. The generated scene replaces both backgrounds entirely, so the original locations never need to match — a selfie from Tokyo and a portrait from Lisbon end up in the same embrace.
What does picking a scene actually do?
Each scene changes the setting, lighting and pacing of the hug — an airport reunion plays out differently from a hug in first snow. You can also add a short custom direction on top of the scene.
How long is the video?
You choose 4, 8 or 15 seconds, on either MiniMax H3 (768P or 2K) or Seedance 2.5 (720P or 1080P). Cost is per second, and the price table on this page shows the exact amounts before you start.
Can I make a hug video for free?
The photo readiness check is free, and your credits are only charged when a video is actually delivered — if generation fails, they are returned in full. New accounts also start with free credits.
Can I hug an anime character or a celebrity?
You can combine any two images you have the rights to use, but the result must respect our Content Policy: no sexualized content, no misleading depictions of real people, and no copyrighted characters used commercially.
Is AI Hug a face swap tool?
No. It does not map one face onto another body or onto existing footage. It generates a new scene from the photos you upload, keeping each face consistent with its source.
Are my photos private?
Yes. Uploads are private to your account, moderated for safety, and never published. Generated videos stay in your library for 14 days and are downloadable.
Can I use the video commercially?
Videos you generate are yours to post. If the people in your photos are not you, get their permission first — the rights checkbox at generation exists for exactly that.
Can I make a group hug?
Not yet. The model is tuned for two people; three or more faces usually break the embrace. Crop to two, or run two clips and edit them together.
