Photo 1 is the adult or pet who wears headphones, removes them after being spoken to and stays in the elevator at the end.
Photo 2 is the adult or pet who starts with “I love The Smiths,” sings along and walks out of the elevator at the end.
Use the left-right swap button to exchange the roles.
One adult or one pet per photo: clear, front-facing, even lighting, at least 240 × 240 px.
Get each person’s consent. No sunglasses, masks, minors, celebrities, public figures or group photos.
Pets keep the look from their photo; their mouths and poses move more loosely than people’s, so exact lip sync is not guaranteed.

1. Prepare two separate photos of adults or pets

Use one adult or one pet per photo, clear and front-facing with even lighting. Both dimensions must be at least 240 pixels. Get each person’s consent. Avoid sunglasses, masks, side profiles and blur. Minors, celebrities, public figures and group photos are not accepted. Pets follow their photo appearance, with looser mouth movements and poses than humans; exact lip sync is not guaranteed.

2. Assign the headphones and speaking roles

Upload the headphone wearer as Photo 1 on the left, taking Tom’s role. Upload the speaker as Photo 2 on the right, taking Summer’s role. The speaker says “I love The Smiths.” Use Swap the two photos before starting if the order is wrong.

3. Choose duration, resolution and framing

Every video is the full 25-second scene, played to the film’s original sound. Choose 480p, 720p or 1080p; native 9:16 is the default and 16:9 is available. No prompt or reference video is needed.

4. Sign in, verify your email and generate

Sign in and verify your email. There are no free credits or free previews. Pay once or use purchased credits to generate; 480p uses the fewest credits. Delivery time varies with demand and settings. You can close the page and receive an email when the video is ready.

5. Watch first, then unlock

Watch real homepage samples before paying. After generation, check both faces, role order, framing and mouth movements in your full video. A new version requires another payment or credit deduction. The live pricing components show current amounts. Do not pay twice if checkout is still being confirmed.

6. Download from My videos

Your full result is one MP4 with the scene’s original sound and no watermark. Download it in My videos. If generation fails, credits are automatically returned. If a payment return is interrupted, retry payment confirmation and use the account that made the purchase.

I Love the Smiths AI FAQ

Learn how to prepare two portraits, assign the elevator roles, pay and generate your full AI video. Watch a 25-second sample on the homepage.

Who wears headphones and who says the line?

Photo 1 takes the left headphone role, like Tom, and misses the first line; Photo 2 takes the right speaking role, like Summer, and says “I love The Smiths.” Either role can be an adult or a pet. Use Swap the two photos before generating if the upload order is reversed.

Can I make a vertical video for Reels or TikTok?

Yes. Native 9:16 portrait is the default; 16:9 landscape is also available. Portrait reconstructs the elevator composition vertically rather than adding blurred side backgrounds. You can choose 480p, 720p or 1080p. The output is one MP4 with sound and no watermark. Check both faces and framing in your completed video.

How much does it cost, and can I preview before paying?

The generator and pricing cards show the current credit requirement and purchase prices. There are no free credits, no free preview and no subscriptions. Watch real homepage samples before paying. Buy a single full video or a video pack; each new version uses credits again. Failed generation automatically returns credits.

What happens if generation fails?

Credits are reserved when generation starts and automatically returned if generation fails. A failed render is not charged. If the refund is still processing, check My videos and your credit history before retrying. If a payment return cannot be confirmed, use the payment check again rather than starting another purchase.
