Birthday Video Message is a tool that turns one photo of the sender into a short talking video that wishes someone happy birthday by name. You upload a front-facing photo, type the person's name and, if you like, your own message of up to 800 characters. The AI can give the photo a party look with a hat, balloons and streamers, then one of 22 AI voices reads the message while the face moves and the lips match.
Sign in and upload a clear, front-facing photo of you or whoever the message is from, as a JPG, PNG or WEBP up to 15 MB. Use only photos you have the right to use.
Add who the birthday video message is for, choose Add a party look or keep your photo, and type a message or leave it empty for ours. Pick a voice and quality.
Press Make the birthday video. The price is on the button. It's usually ready within a few minutes in My Videos, as an MP4 you can send in any chat.
Type who it's for, up to 40 characters: a first name, a nickname or Grandma. Our default message greets them by name; in your own message, write {name} wherever it should go, or just type it.
Add a party look gives the photo a sparkly party hat, colourful balloons and streamers behind you in a soft blur, and warm festive light, while keeping your face recognisable.
Already have a photo with a cake or candles? Pick Keep my photo as it is and the photo is animated directly, without the 30-credit makeover.
Leave the message empty and the photo reads our warm birthday wish with their name. Or write up to 800 characters, about a minute: a memory, an inside joke, a toast.
Jessica, a young, lively female voice, is picked by default. Switch to Bill for a warm grandfatherly tone, Charlie for a relaxed Australian one, or any of the other 22 voices.
A filmed birthday message needs good light, a quiet room and a few takes. Here it takes one photo and a few lines of text.
