Santa Video Message is a tool that turns a photo of an adult into Santa Claus speaking to a child by name. You upload a front-facing photo of a parent or another grown-up, type the child's name and, if you like, your own message of up to 800 characters. The AI adds a red suit, a white beard, a Santa hat and a cosy room with a fireplace and tree, then one of 22 AI voices reads the message with lip sync.
Sign in and upload a clear, front-facing photo of a grown-up, such as a parent, as a JPG, PNG or WEBP up to 15 MB. Do not upload a photo of a child; the child is the one who watches.
