AI birthday photoshoot and video greetings from a photo

An AI birthday photoshoot from your photo — cake, balloons, a pajama party, meeting your childhood self — plus video greetings for the people you love.

A birthday photoshoot from a single photo

A birthday photoshoot no longer means renting a studio, setting up decor and hiring a photographer. Pick a party scene, upload a photo, and the AI creates a shot of you with cake, balloons or a glass of bubbly — your face and hair stay yours. It looks like a real photo, but it's an image made by AI. Most scenes are designed for women and girls, and there's a separate look for a birthday boy.

Birthday photoshoot ideas

Cake, candles and number balloons

A studio fashion portrait of you blowing out candles on a beige backdrop, a pink bento cake with glossy number balloons, two Polaroids with gold number balloons, and a flash shot in a dark studio with lit candles.

A night party with flash

A Paris street at night with champagne and cake, a night parking lot in a pink dress holding a cake, and a "make a wish" shot with a raised glass and a bento cake.

Cozy at home

Pizza on the bed with a party hat and a Happy Birthday garland, or a celebration in pink satin pajamas — for a low-key birthday.

Me then and now

The most touching ideas here. Upload a current photo and a childhood one, and get a shot where two versions of you meet: grown-up you looking at your little self, both of you sitting face to face in a studio, standing together in golden light, or you placing a crown on your younger self in black and white. There's also a cake in front of a projection of your childhood portrait. Some of these presets work with just one photo.

With a child and for a child

A vintage shot with a cake by a mirror, where your little one appears in the reflection (you'll need two photos: yours and the child's), and a festive night shot for a boy in a suit with a cake and a splash of soda.

Birthday video greetings

Besides photos, birthday video greetings are being added to this category — short clips made from the birthday person's photo, easy to send in a messenger. They're made by AI too, and the price in credits is shown on each preset.

How to make your AI birthday photos

  1. Choose a preset — each card shows an example of the result.
  2. Upload the birthday person's photo (plus a childhood photo for the "then and now" scenes).
  3. Pick the format: 3:4 for your feed or 9:16 for stories.
  4. Get your shot in about a minute, then download it in high resolution or share a link.

Which photo to upload

A photo where the face is clearly visible: good light, no filters, no sunglasses. Old childhood photos work too — if it's a print, re-shoot it with your phone in daylight, avoiding glare.

Ideas for using your photos

  • a birthday profile picture;
  • a "then and now" post for your feed;
  • a surprise for a friend, your mom or sister — made from her photo with her OK and sent as a link;
  • a picture for your party invitation.

Why AI instead of a studio

A birthday studio shoot means booking, decor, a cake and half a day. With AI you can try several looks in one evening without leaving home. If you want candid moments with your guests, a photographer at the party is still the way to go.
