Diesel & Friends

Animate your pet from a single photo

You have hundreds of photos of your pet. This turns one of them into a short video where your pet looks at the camera, blinks, moves its mouth and says whatever you write. It works with dogs, cats, rabbits, horses and anything else with a face. We have even animated a bear.

Diesel & Friends started with Diesel, a Sheep-A-Doodle from Montana, and his friends Barry, Ted and Tucker. Every clip in our video gallery was made with the same tools you get when you order.

How it works

1

Upload one photo

A clear, front-facing photo with both eyes visible works best. Phone photos are perfect.

2

Write the line and pick a voice

Type what your pet should say and choose from 20 voices. You can preview each one first.

3

Get your video

The animated clip lands in your inbox, usually within minutes, ready to share.

Two ways to animate your pet

Talking Pet Video ($2.95, normally $4.95): your actual photo comes to life and lip-syncs your message. It is the fastest option and the one most people start with.

Animated Pet Story ($4.98 launch price, normally $9.98): a 12 to 15 second animated short starring one to three of your pets, in a style you choose, with a back-and-forth conversation you write. You approve a preview still before the full video is made.

See more examples in the Diesel & Friends video gallery.

FAQ

What kinds of pets can be animated?

Dogs, cats, birds, rabbits, horses, reptiles: if the photo shows a clear face with eyes, it can usually be animated.

Does my photo need to be professional?

No. A sharp phone photo in good light, taken at your pet's eye level, gives the best result.

How long does it take?

Talking Pet Videos usually arrive within minutes. Animated Pet Stories are delivered within 24 hours after you approve the preview.

What if it doesn't look right?

Talking Pet Videos include two free revisions, so you can change the photo, the words or the voice.
