Add the trend's sound in TikTok or Instagram when you post.

- One animal only, no people in the shot
- Natural light, no filters or stickers
Ginger cats are the original stars, but any cat works, and dogs have their own version of the meme too. Big dogs may come out with the head a little smaller so both front paws fit in the frame.
What is the Scientists Reveal the Hi Meme trend?
The picture comes from the news: a wide-eyed orange cat used on a BBC article, 'What makes ginger cats ginger?', on 16 May 2025. On 5 July 2025 a Reddit user captioned it 'Scientists reveal the secret', and on 28 May 2026 another edit changed the last word to 'hi'. That version took off on Instagram and TikTok in October 2026. The video carries no caption, so type the line in yourself in TikTok, Reels or CapCut; the bottom of the frame is kept clear for it.
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.
How do I make my cat say hi like the meme?
Upload one clear photo of your cat and pick the pet option. It stares into the camera, then lifts a paw for a little wave.
Can I use my dog instead?
Yes. Dogs work too, and a dog version of the 'secret' meme went round in 2025.
Is the caption in the video?
No. Add 'Scientists reveal the hi', or your own words, as text in TikTok, Reels or CapCut.
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.
