What happens in the 8 seconds
- 0–2s
You look up at the full moon in a misty forest, then turn away.
- 2–5s
You turn back changed: wolf fur, a muzzle and glowing amber eyes.
- 5–8s
The werewolf stands tall among the trees and howls at the moon.

| Pro · $79 | 25 | $3.16 |
If a take doesn't look right
- The person at the start doesn't look like you
- Use a sharp, front-facing photo in good light, without sunglasses or heavy filters.
- The change happens too fast or not at all
- Make another take from the same photo. Each take is a new attempt and the timing varies.
- The werewolf's fur colour looks wrong
- Use a photo where your hair is clearly visible; the fur follows its colour.
- My pet changed into a different animal
- Use a photo where your pet's face and markings are sharp and fill most of the frame.
Questions about Werewolf Transformation
What kind of photo works best?
A sharp, bright photo of one person facing the camera, chest up, with face and hair in view. The werewolf's fur follows your hair colour.
Does the video show the transformation?
Yes. It starts with you in a moonlit forest and the change happens on camera, ending with the werewolf howling at the moon. It is dramatic but not gory: no blood and no wounds.
Can my pet become a werewolf?
Yes. Choose the "My pet" style and upload a photo of your dog or cat. It turns into a shaggier, wolf-like version of itself and keeps its markings.
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.
