Make your ghost prank
Selected template: Slow creep
Clear face, shoulders and background spacePhoto tips
Use one adult facing the camera in good light. Include the shoulders and some empty room behind either shoulder; a vertical selfie works best. Avoid mirror selfies, groups, heavy face filters and extremely tight crops. Hands and feet are optional. Preparation keeps the complete photo; AI may recompose it into the portrait output. JPG, PNG and WebP up to 10 MB are supported.

What is the ghost filter prank?
This format places a fictional ghost behind an ordinary selfie subject. The person seems unaware, so the surprise is in the background. Here, you start with an existing photo and receive a downloadable video. It is an AI-created scene, rather than a live camera effect or a recording of anyone’s real reaction.
How the reveal builds
2–5.5s · something behind you
Hair and a pale face emerge over one shoulder, then move beside the cheek. Clear space behind the shoulder helps the reveal.
5.5–8s · choose the ending
Slow creep holds the close pose. Sudden lunge moves toward the lens around six seconds. These are reference beats; generated timing may vary.
Which ending should I choose?
| Style | Ending | Best fit |
|---|---|---|
| Slow creep | The ghost rises behind your shoulder and stays beside your face. | A quiet reveal for a second look. |
| Sudden lunge | A similar build-up, then the ghost rushes toward the lens near the end. | For viewers who enjoy a jump scare. |

Ghost filter prank questions
What does this ghost filter make?
It makes a 8-second portrait video from one adult selfie, with a fictional long-haired ghost appearing behind the person. The person stays the main subject; the effect does not turn them into a ghost.
Is this a live TikTok or Snapchat filter?
This tool generates a video from an existing photo. Download the MP4 and upload it to your chosen platform. Live camera effects, custom video uploads and real reaction recordings are not included.
Which photo should I use?
Use one adult facing the camera in good light. Include the shoulders and some empty room behind either shoulder; a vertical selfie works best. Avoid mirror selfies, groups, heavy face filters and extremely tight crops. Hands and feet are optional. Preparation keeps the complete photo; AI may recompose it into the portrait output. JPG, PNG and WebP up to 10 MB are supported.
How are Slow creep and Sudden lunge different?
Both build a ghost reveal behind the shoulder. Slow creep keeps the ghost next to the face; Sudden lunge adds an approach toward the lens near the ending. Choose the lunge only for people who enjoy a jump scare.
Is making my ghost video free?
Each video costs 20 credits. Starting with zero balance, the USD 9.99 pack contains 80 credits: enough for 4 complete videos of this template, with 0 credits left. Existing balance can also be used. Watching the references is free. Generating your own video uses credits; this tool does not include a free personal preview or a free regenerate. Checkout shows any applicable taxes.
Does the video include sound?
The output includes the selected reference’s original audio, attached without changing its speed. Custom music and voice uploads are not supported. Keep the sound on when reviewing the ending.
Will my face and room stay exactly the same?
Your photo guides the person and scene, while the video reference guides the ghost. AI may change details or miss the timing. A clear selfie with shoulder space gives it better information. Inspect the complete output before sharing.
Who can see my photo and video?
Your upload and result are private to your account by default. A public link is created only when you choose to share, and you can revoke it. Generation and screening services process the media under the privacy policy.

Reserved generation credits return to your available balance after a confirmed task failure or rejected result. Credits remain reserved while additional review is pending.
