Two separate pictures
Each person comes from their own shot. Whatever is behind them gets replaced.

AI Hug Generator
This AI hug generator takes two people who never stood in the same picture and films them meeting in one: a glance, a smile, then a long embrace. It costs 4 credits for 5 seconds at 720p. Use a picture of each person, or a single picture with both.
- Pictures taken apart are fine
- A long, close embrace
- 4 credits at 720p
- Price on the button

Your picture
A single picture works: just you, or the pair of you.

Effect
Hug needs two people: add a partner picture, or switch to one shared shot.

Take
Price: 4 credits. Done in roughly 2 to 5 min; if it fails, the credits come back. See prices
The scene
What the AI hug generator films
The pair stands next to each other in soft daylight. They catch each other’s eye, smile, then turn and hold on, one head resting on the other’s shoulder. The studio asks the model to keep each person’s face, haircut and clothes exactly as their own picture shows them.
Your two pictures can come from different cities, different phones, even different decades. The take runs on Seedance 2.0 Mini, 5 seconds at 720p for 4 credits, with quiet room sound rather than music.
Three moves
How to use the AI hug generator
01Upload both people
One picture per person, cropped at the chest, faces easy to read. A shared picture of the two also works.
02Leave Hug picked
This page sets up Seedance 2.0 Mini, 720p, 5 seconds and 9:16. Every option shows its price.
03Create and share it
Our provider estimates up to about 5 minutes. Save the MP4 or come back to it in My videos.
Why it works
A hug without a shared photo
Faces you will recognize
Clear, well-lit pictures keep each person looking like themselves.
Credits that wait for you
A longer or sharper take costs more; pack credits never run out.
Photos cleared, videos saved
We delete uploaded pictures after 7 days and keep finished takes in My videos. A failed take is refunded.
Ideas for an AI hug video
- A twin sister who lives in another time zone, for her birthday.
- Your current self and your graduation photo, for a then-and-now post.
- A grandfather and the grandchild he only met on video calls, using pictures the family is happy to share.
Making the embrace look natural
- Match the crops. Two chest-up pictures sit together better than a face close-up next to a full-body shot.
- Faces forward, eyes open, light that is even across both pictures. Hats and dark glasses make likeness harder.
A kind way to use it
Use pictures you are allowed to use, of people who would smile at the result. Strangers, celebrities and public figures are not allowed, and every take also goes through the video provider’s NSFW check.
A hug with a relative who has died can be a comfort to you and painful for someone else in the family. Think about who will see it before it goes anywhere public.

My brother lives overseas and we have no photo together. Can we still get a hug video?
Yes. Upload a picture of him and one of you. The AI hug generator places you side by side, has you turn to each other and embrace, and gives you an MP4.
Do the pictures need the same background or lighting?
No. Backgrounds are replaced. Similar crops and decent light simply help the two people look like they belong in the same shot.
Can one picture be enough?
Only if both people are in it. A picture of one person alone cannot make a hug.
Is there a free AI hug generator here?
No free tier. A 5 second hug at 720p is 4 credits. You pay in credits at the moment you press create. The entry pack is 10 credits for $9.99, and a take that fails puts its credits back in your balance by itself.
Can I make a hug video with someone else’s picture?
Yes, when they said yes, or when it is a family picture you have the right to use.
