What the welcome home video looks like

Your pet starts as in your photo and settles into a soft bed with a content sigh. A small paper party hat appears on its head, confetti drifts down in warm light, and your pet looks toward the camera calm and happy. The video has no text, so add your own words about how long you have been together when you share it.

Welcome Home video questions

Can I try it for free?

Yes. 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.

What is a gotcha day?

It is the anniversary of the day you adopted your pet or brought it home. Many owners celebrate it like a birthday, especially with rescue pets.

Does it work for a rescue with an unknown birthday?

Yes. The video does not use a birthday or an age, only your photo.

What happens if the video fails?

Failed videos are refunded automatically, so you never pay for a result you did not get.
