Show the whole subject
Use a portrait frame and include the face, body, and paws where possible. Avoid crops that cut through the pet’s head or torso.
How it works
PetShimmy turns one photo into one finished little dance video. The performance, length, AI limitations, delivery checks, and privacy window stay clear from the start. Price appears at final review.
Before you pay
Five clear steps
Generation time can vary with demand, so we email you instead of making you watch a spinner.
Choose a well-lit portrait image where one pet’s face and body are visible. You must own the photo or have permission to use it.
Preview the available performances, then choose a 6-second Single Shimmy, a continuous 12-second Extended Shimmy, or the complete 16-second Full Rant. Matching music or voiceover is included.
The final review shows your exact one-time price before you continue to Stripe. There is no trial, subscription, automatic renewal, or recurring charge.
AI adapts the chosen movement to your pet. We check the file and sync the matching music or voiceover. A failed or corrupted result never counts as delivery.
We email a secure link when the video is ready. Download and save it before the 30-day media deletion window ends.
A photo that gives AI a fair chance
You do not need a studio portrait. You do need a single, recognisable subject with enough visual information to animate.
Use a portrait frame and include the face, body, and paws where possible. Avoid crops that cut through the pet’s head or torso.
Natural or soft indoor light helps preserve markings, fur texture, and facial details.
One pet and an uncluttered background reduce ambiguity. Avoid hands covering the animal or heavy motion blur.
Use the detailed checklist: the pet photo guide explains portrait cropping, lighting, file requirements, and why one unobstructed animal is easier for motion transfer.
After checkout
Your order email receives a secure result link. It is not published to a public gallery by default.
Save the finished video, including its matching audio, to your own device. PetShimmy does not keep it as permanent cloud storage.
Source photos and generated media are scheduled for automatic deletion after 30 days. Once processing finishes, you can delete them earlier from the private result page; contact support for urgent in-flight deletion.
Delivery safeguard: technical failures do not count as delivery. If we cannot complete the purchased service, see the refund policy for the available remedies.
AI limitation: PetShimmy aims for a broadly recognizable pet performing the selected dance. Timing, poses, expressions, paws, limbs, fur, background details, and anatomy can vary or become stylized. Read the AI and quality methodology for the current model and review process.
Ready when the photo is
Choose one clear photo and a 6-second Single Shimmy, continuous 12-second Extended Shimmy, or complete 16-second Full Rant. Your exact one-time total appears at final review.
