How it works
Add your photos
You: face clear, chest up. Your partner: face clear, chest up.
Pick a style
Choose rooftop, ballroom or snowy night. 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
You hold each other close under the string lights and sway.
- 2–5s
Joined hands go up and one of you does a gentle turn.
- 5–8s
You come back into each other's arms and rest your foreheads together.
Ideas for your take
- An anniversary or Valentine's post
- A wedding countdown or save-the-date clip
- A dance you never got to have
- A holiday card with a snowy slow dance
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
- One of you doesn't look like yourself
- Use sharper, front-facing photos where the face fills more of the frame.
- You look very different heights
- Pick photos taken from a similar distance. Make another take if the scale still looks off.
- Hands or arms look tangled during the turn
- Make another take. Photos with both shoulders in view give the pose more to work with.
- The photo was rejected
- Both photos must show adults who agreed to it. Photos of children can't be used.
Questions about Slow Dance
Do we need a photo of us together?
No. Upload one photo of each of you. We put you in the same scene first, then animate the dance.
Which settings can I choose?
A rooftop party under string lights, an elegant ballroom or a snowy street at night. You can try another setting on the next take.
What photos work best?
One adult per photo, face clear, chest up, facing the camera, taken from a similar distance and in similar light.
How long does it take?
Usually 2 to 4 minutes. You can leave the page open or come back to your library later; the take is saved there when it's ready.
How much does it cost?
One take costs 40 credits. If a take fails, the credits go back to your balance automatically.
What happens to my photos?
Your photos are only used to make your take and are deleted after 30 days. Your takes are private to your account unless you share them.
Can I post it on TikTok or Reels?
Yes. Every take is a vertical 9:16 video at 720p, ready to post. It has no sound, so add a track in the app when you post.
Whose photos can I use?
Only photos of adults who agreed to it, including yourself. Photos of children can't be used.
