How it works

You: face clear, chest up.

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 plush self sits on the bed and gives a little wiggle.
- 2–4s
It lifts a stubby arm and waves at you.
- 4–6s
It flops sideways onto the pillow.
- 6–8s
It bounces back upright with a wobble.
Ideas for your take

| Pro · $79 | 25 | $3.16 |
If a take doesn't look right
- The plush doesn't look like you
- Use a sharp, front-facing photo where your hair and top are clearly visible.
- It looks like a cartoon, not a toy
- Make another take from the same photo. Each take is a new attempt and the material varies.
- My pet's markings are missing
- Choose the "My pet" style and use a bright photo where the markings are easy to see.
Questions about Plush Toy
What kind of photo works best?
A sharp, bright photo of one person facing the camera, chest up. The plush copies your hair, skin tone and top in yarn, so keep them in view.
Can I turn my pet into a plush toy?
Yes. Choose the My pet style and upload a photo of your dog or cat. The plush keeps its fur colours and markings in yarn.
Does it look like a real toy?
Yes. It looks like a photo of a real handmade crocheted toy, with soft yarn, visible stitches and embroidered eyes and smile.
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 a photo of someone else?
Only photos of adults who agreed to it. Photos of children can't be used.
