The boop
They walk up. Then the paw lands.
The first template is a short vertical clip: your pet notices the camera, walks up close, and presses a paw pad on the glass. Every video starts from a single still photo.

How Paws at You works
Three steps from a photo on your phone to a paw on the lens.
- 1
Add a pet photo
Add a clear picture of your dog, cat, or other pet. A phone photo is fine. You can preview it and set everything up before you sign in.
- 2
Pick the paws-at-you template
The template sets the motion: your pet walks up to the camera and presses a paw on the lens. There is no prompt to write. More cute actions can be added later.

Watch them boop the lens
We show progress while the video renders, usually in one to three minutes. Then you can play it, download it, and find it in your history.
Why people make them
What you can make with Paws at You
A paw on the lens is a small moment that lands almost anywhere. Here is where these pet videos tend to end up.
A post that stops the scroll
The clip is short and vertical, made for feeds like Reels, TikTok, and Shorts. A pet walking straight into the camera is hard to scroll past.
A birthday or gotcha-day greeting
Send a friend a video of their own pet booping the screen on their birthday, or mark the day your pet came home. It takes one photo and a few minutes.
A moment with a pet you miss
A still photo of a pet who has passed can become a short moment of them walking up to you again. Pick a photo where they look most like themselves.
A surprise for the family chat
Turn the dog's latest photo into a video the whole family can replay. Download the MP4 or copy the link and drop it into any group chat.
Fresh content for a pet account
Pet accounts live on new posts. A photo you already have becomes a new clip, with no filming, no treats taped to the lens, and no retakes.
A spotlight for a rescue pet
Shelters and fosters can turn an adoption photo into a clip that asks people to look a little longer at a pet waiting for a home.
Credit packs
One free watermarked preview. Then pay only for the full-quality videos you keep.
Photo tips
Get a better Paws at You video from your photo
The video can only work with what is in the picture. These habits give the AI the clearest view of your pet.
- 1
One pet, fully in frame
Use a photo with a single pet. Keep the head, body, and front paws visible so the walk and the paw press have something to work from.
- 2
Facing the camera
A pet looking toward the lens gives the most natural walk-up. Side profiles can work, but the turn toward the camera may look less steady.
- 3
Good light, sharp focus
Daylight or a bright room helps. Blurry, dark, or heavily filtered photos make fur, eyes, and markings harder to keep consistent.
- 4
Some space around them
Leave a little background around your pet so the video has room to move. Very tight crops can cut off ears, tails, or paws.
- 5
A file that fits
JPEG, PNG, WEBP, GIF, HEIC, or AVIF under 10 MB, between 300 and 6000 pixels on each side, and not too wide or too tall.
