How to Make a Topo Gigio AI Video From One Photo

Topo Gigio is a football celebration: the player holds both hands beside his ears and wiggles his fingers. The Topo Gigio AI template puts the person in your photo into that moment.

One note first. Some people search "Topo Gigio" for the old Italian mouse puppet. This template does not turn you into a mouse and adds no character voice. It is about the celebration.

What to prepare

You need one photo. The person in it plays the player.

• One adult, alone in the frame.
• Face fully visible, looking at or near the camera.
• A bit of hair and shoulders in the frame helps the model see the head shape. If you only have a group photo, crop it to one person first.
• Even light, no sunglasses or masks.

Use a photo of yourself or of someone who agreed to appear. Photos of public figures or anyone under 18 are not allowed. More in the photo tips guide.

The steps

1. Open the Topo Gigio page.
2. Upload your photo.
3. Pick 480p, 720p or 1080p. See pricing for what each costs.
4. We review the photo first. If it doesn't pass, nothing is charged and you can try another.
5. Pay once. There is no subscription.
6. The clip shows up under My videos in a few minutes.

Things specific to this scene

• Hands move fast. The celebration is all in the hands, so fingers can blur or merge for a frame. That is normal for AI video.
• Turns. The scene turns the player's head. A front-facing photo gives the model the most to work with.
• 4:3 frame. The clip is 4:3, a little wider than tall.

What you get

An 8-second MP4 in 4:3. It is marked as AI generated. If we can't make your video, you get a full refund.
