Star in Nightwing with one photo

Make yours

The short version

  • For you: one clear face toward the camera, in good light, knees up or head to toe.
  • For your pet: its whole body, sitting up, at its eye level, in good light.

A photo of you

A smiling man in a selfie, his whole face clear and lit from the front
WorksFace to the camera, good light
A woman in a green t-shirt standing in her living room, facing the camera
WorksKnees up: room for the suit and the batons
A person whose eyes are hidden behind dark sunglasses
AvoidSunglasses: hidden eyes won’t look like you
A group of friends together in one photo
AvoidA group: crop to just you

The clearer the photo, the more the video looks like you. Crop a group shot down to one person before you upload it, and keep sunglasses, hands and hair off your eyes.

A photo of your pet

A tabby cat sitting on a sofa, its whole body in view at its eye level
WorksHead, paws and tail in frame
A cat small and far away in a big room
AvoidToo far: its face gets lost
A blurred cat caught mid-move
AvoidMoving: wait for a still moment
A cat in a dim room, hard to make out
AvoidToo dark: turn a light on

Get down to your pet’s eye level, fit its head, paws and tail in the frame, and wait for a still moment in good light. Sitting or standing both work.

What happens to your photo

Your photo is used only to make your video and stays private to your account. Photos are deleted automatically 7 days after upload, and you can delete them sooner from My videos. Only use photos you have the right to use: no celebrities and nobody under 18.

Questions

Will it still look like me with the mask on?

Yes. It’s the same face, hair and build before and after the whip. The mask only covers your eyes, so a photo where your jaw, mouth and hair are clear works best.

Do I need a video of myself?

No. One still photo is enough. The moves, the timing and the camera come from the trend.

What if the video fails?

You don’t pay for it: what it used goes back to your balance automatically, and you can try again with another photo.
