- Your pet: sharp and well lit, with as much of its body showing as you can
- Its breed, coat and eye colour all come from that one photo
- To be the sleeper, add one clear front-on photo of your face, no sunglasses
- Adults only in the bed: you, or a friend who has said yes
Dogs and cats, or any pet that can manage a moment on its back legs. The boombox is scaled to small pets too.
500K+ plays on YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, counting the original and the biggest copies. That's the low end of our estimate, read on 24 Oct; it's still moving.
What is the Pet Boombox Wake-Up trend?
A ten-second clip from a phone resting on the bedside table, lit by a single lamp. The music is loud, bass-heavy and has no words. Choose just your pet, with the bed empty, or add yourself as the sleeper who jolts upright and then flops back in defeat. It ends with your pet sitting proudly beside the boombox, staring at you.
You add the sound yourself in TikTok or Instagram when you post. ChatGPT can't make this video; this page can, from one photo.
The look is free. If you love it, the video costs one video's worth of credits, charged only when it's ready, and refunded automatically if it fails.
Do I have to be in it?
No. Just your pet works, with the bed left empty and a groan heard off screen.
What do I wear if I'm in it?
A plain T-shirt under the duvet, or your own clothes from your photo if you pick that option.
What music plays?
A loud instrumental beat made for the clip, with no vocals.
Will it look like my pet?
It keeps your pet's face, coat colour and markings from your photo. The free look shows you before you pay.
Does it work with black cats or dark dogs?
Yes. Use a photo in good light so the eyes and face shape show; dark coats need light most.
Can I use a puppy or kitten?
Yes, any age. A sharp photo matters more than age.
Can ChatGPT make this video?
No. ChatGPT can't make videos itself right now. Upload your pet's photo here and see a free look in about a minute.
What happens to my pet's photo?
It's kept privately, used only for your video, never used for training, and deleted after 30 days.
