Usually 10–20 minutes. We'll email it to you too.

Add the trend's sound in TikTok or Instagram when you post.
- Your pet facing the camera, face and front paws visible
- Bright light: the graveyard is dark, so detail comes from your photo
- No hats or costumes in the photo; the jacket is added
- One pet in the picture
Cats are the classic lead, and dogs look sharp in the jacket too. The two backup kittens always belong to the scene, so only your pet is copied.
1M+ plays on TikTok, YouTube, counting the original and the biggest copies. That's the low end of our estimate, read on 27 Oct; it's still moving.
What is the Thriller Dance trend?
Michael Jackson's "Thriller" dance returns every Halloween, and this year costumed AI pets took it over on TikTok, usually a cat in the red jacket with kittens dressed as a skeleton and a ghost. Here your own pet is the lead: a shoulder sway, stiff front legs reaching forward, a shuffle to the side and a claws-up final pose under a full moon. The video has wind, thunder and footsteps, not the song.
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 do the Thriller dance?
Upload one photo of your cat and it leads the dance in the red jacket. No video of your cat is needed.
Does the video have the Thriller song?
No. It has spooky night sounds; add "Thriller" from TikTok's or Instagram's sounds when you post.
Will the backup kittens look like my pet?
No. They're a grey tabby and a white kitten in skeleton and ghost costumes, so your pet stands out as the star.
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.
