How it works
Add your photo
Your pet: whole head and ears in view.
Pick a style
Choose candle-lit altar or marigold path. A short direction is optional.
Get your take
A 8-second vertical MP4 arrives in 2–4 minutes, ready for TikTok, Reels and Shorts.
What happens in the 8 seconds
- 0–2s
Your pet sits among candles in its marigold crown, glancing around.
- 2–5s
It turns toward you and blinks softly as the papel picado sways.
- 5–8s
Marigold petals drift down as the camera moves in on its face.
Ideas for your take
- A Día de Muertos post with your pet
- A gentle way to remember a pet who has passed
- A colourful autumn card for family
What it costs
One take uses 40 credits. Your first take on MagicTakes is free. Credits come in one-time packs, never expire, and a take that fails gives its credits back.
| Pack | Takes | Per take |
|---|---|---|
| Starter · $9.99 | 2 | $4.00 |
| Creator · $29 | 8 | $3.52 |
| Pro · $79 | 25 | $3.16 |
If a take doesn't look right
- The face pattern hides my pet's markings
- Use a sharp, close photo where the face fills more of the frame; the pattern then stays lighter.
- The crown sits off the head
- Use a photo with the whole head and both ears in view.
- It doesn't look like my pet
- Use a bright, front-facing photo without filters, and make another take if one drifts.
Questions about Day of the Dead Pet
What is Día de Muertos?
Día de Muertos, the Day of the Dead, is a Mexican celebration on November 1 and 2 when families remember loved ones who have died, with altars, marigolds, candles and food. Many families include their pets too.
Is this respectful?
We kept it warm and festive: marigolds, candle light and a decorative face pattern inspired by sugar skulls, with nothing scary or mocking. It works for a pet with you now or one you want to remember.
What kind of photo works best?
A sharp, bright photo of one pet facing the camera, with its whole head and ears in view.
How long does it take?
Usually two to four minutes. You can leave the page; the take is saved in your library when it is ready.
How much does it cost?
40 credits for an 8-second take. If a take fails to generate, its credits go back to your balance automatically.
What happens to my photo?
Your photos are deleted after 30 days, and your takes are private unless you share them yourself.
Can I post it on TikTok or Reels?
Yes. Takes are vertical 9:16 MP4 files made for TikTok, Reels and Shorts. Download the take and post it like any other video.
Can I use any pet photo?
Use photos of your own pet or a pet whose owner agreed. If a person is in the photo, crop them out.
