# Cat memorial video from a favorite photo

> To make a cat memorial video, upload a clear photo of your cat where their face and markings are easy to see, and write a few words such as "Luna pounces on her toy and plays". The video keeps their coat, markings and face and shows them playing in soft golden light; download the 5, 8 or 10 second MP4.

Bring a favorite photo of your cat to life: a playful pounce, a run through the garden, a slow stretch in warm light, with their markings kept as they were.

## Your cat, the way they were

- **Their own markings**: Tabby stripes, a white chest, odd socks: the video is asked to keep your cat's coat, markings and face exactly as in the photo.
- **Playful again**: Every video shows your cat running and playing happily in soft golden light; your words can make it a pounce, a stretch or a chase.
- **Indoors or out**: Bring the photo to life on the windowsill or sofa where it was taken, or place your cat in a sunny meadow with flowers.
- **Two companions**: With the new scene, add 2 photos to show two cats, or a cat and the dog they grew up with, playing together.

## How to make a cat memorial video

1. **Pick a photo of your cat**: A sharp photo where the face and markings are visible, in daylight if you have one.
2. **Describe one moment**: Their name and one thing they did, such as "Luna pounces on her toy".
3. **Keep the video**: Download the MP4 and keep it, or send it to the people who loved them too.

## Ideas for a cat memorial video

Cats are remembered for small habits. Moments that work well in a short video:

- A slow stretch in a patch of sunlight, then a playful pounce
- Chasing a toy or a butterfly through the garden
- Rolling onto their back in the sun
- A kitten photo, playing again
- An older cat walking through a field of flowers and looking back

## Tips for cats in particular

Every video asks for happy, playful movement, and cats move differently from dogs. If the tail looks wrong, add a few words such as "tail held high, moving slowly". If your cat was calm rather than playful, say "walks slowly and stretches" and keep the length at 5 seconds.


## Two ways to make the video

"Bring the photo to life" uses your photo as the first frame. Your pet starts exactly where the photo was taken, on the sofa, in the garden or at the beach, then runs and plays in soft golden light. The video keeps the photo's shape.

"Place your pet in a new scene" takes 1 or 2 photos of your pet and shows it running and playing in a sunny, peaceful meadow with flowers, or in a place you name, such as a beach or a snowy field. Choose vertical 9:16, square or widescreen. A second photo can show your pet from another angle, or a companion animal who shared its life.


## Photo tips for a pet memorial video

The video can only keep what the photo shows, so a clear photo helps your pet look like themselves from the first frame to the last:

- Choose a sharp photo where your pet's face, eyes and markings are clearly visible.
- A photo that shows the whole body helps running look natural; a close-up of the face gives gentler movement.
- Daylight shows true colors and markings best; very dark or filtered photos can change them.
- Avoid photos where a hand, a toy or a blanket covers part of the face.
- For a new scene, a second photo from another angle helps keep markings right.
- Use PNG, JPEG or WebP files up to 10 MB each.

## Questions about cat memorial videos

### Can I use a photo of my cat sleeping?

Yes. The video starts from the photo and your cat wakes into gentle movement. A photo where the eyes are open and the face is clear usually gives a more natural result.

### Why does my cat's tail move like a dog's?

Every video asks for happy, playful movement, which can look like tail wagging. Add "tail held high, moving slowly" or "walks calmly" to your words and try again.

### Will the video keep my cat's markings?

It is asked to keep the coat, markings, colors and face exactly as in the photo, and usually stays very close. It is an AI recreation, so a sharp, well-lit photo helps most.

### Is a cat memorial video free?

A new account's first 5-second video is free, once per network (one IPv4 address or IPv6 /64) every 30 days. After that, a 5-second video costs 150 credits, and credit packs start at $9.99.
