Christmas pet video questions
How do I make a Christmas video of my dog?
Upload one clear photo of your dog, choose a Christmas template and create a free preview. If you like it, keep that exact preview without the watermark (standard quality), or make a new HD take, a fresh, sharper take from the same photo and template with different details.
Can I make a Christmas video of my cat?
Yes. Every Christmas template works for cats and dogs. Photos where the face is clear and the ears are visible give the best results.
How does my dog get a Santa hat in the video?
The hat is added during the video: it gently drops onto your pet's head and settles while your pet tilts its head. Your pet looks like itself in the first frame, and fit can vary between results, so you can try again for a different take.
Can I send the video as a Christmas card?
Yes. The Animated Christmas Card template adds a Merry Christmas greeting, and every HD video is a normal vertical MP4 you can text to family or post as a story.
Is the Christmas video free?
The preview is free, needs no sign-up and carries a Pawtwirl watermark. Keep that exact preview without the watermark (standard quality), or make a new HD take, a fresh, sharper take from the same photo and template with different details. Keeping it costs 6 credits and a new HD take costs 12. Free previews are limited by a daily budget, so on a busy day they can be unavailable until it resets.
What if the video fails to generate?
Failed videos are refunded automatically, so you never pay for a result you did not get.
