From the founder

Who it's for

“People who want a short video from a single photo, like a pet, a family picture or a selfie, for a TikTok trend or a gift.”

Why I built it

“I built it because trend templates in editing apps need several steps, and I wanted one upload and one result in a few minutes.”

— yining lin, founder of Turnly

TikTok and Reels creators copying trending AI video templates

FAQ

Can I describe my own motion?

Yes. Pick the closest motion and add a sentence of your own, up to 200 characters, for example "she turns her head and laughs". The AI follows it as well as it can; it can't add new people.

Can I turn an old family photo into a video?

Yes, if the people in it are adults who agree, or have passed away and you are family. Scan it flat and well lit. Faded or tiny faces come out less sharp.

Is this the same as a TikTok trend template?

The templates are: each one recreates a trend's moves and look from your photo. The home generator is the free-form version for any photo.

How do I make my own Turnly video?

Upload one clear photo (no sign-in needed), pick the options, then pay for just that video or use credits (a 10-second 720p video on Seedance 2.0 Fast uses 40 credits). Download the MP4 a few minutes later and post it.

Do I need to sign up?

No. Add your photo and make the video right away: it stays in My videos on this browser. Sign in with Google or your email to keep your videos on any device, buy credit packs or send a gift.

How long does it take?

Usually 2 to 5 minutes. The video shows up in My videos as soon as it's ready, even if you close the page.

Is it free?

No. Pay for just one video from $4.99 (one payment, no subscription), or use credits: from $9.99 for 40 credits, or with a subscription. Credits are taken only when a video starts and given back if it fails.

How long do you keep my photos and videos?

Photos are deleted automatically after 30 days (after 2 days if you never made a video with them). Videos stay in My videos until you delete them, and you can delete everything from your account at any time. Your photos are never used to train AI models.
