An AI mini me video generator shrinks you down and sets you moving in the real world — a palm-sized version of you standing in an open hand, peeking out of a chest pocket, walking across a desk beside a full-size keyboard, or sitting on your own shoulder. Upload one photo, add a prompt, and the model keeps your face and outfit while it builds a second, tiny copy of you beside the full-size one. The scale is what sells it: contact shadows under tiny feet, attention to the objects around you, and a camera that stays slow enough to keep both of you in frame. Unlike the static mini me images everyone has already seen, this one moves for about five seconds and loops cleanly — ready for a story, a profile clip or a group chat. Start with one photo and watch a miniature version of you come to life — it is free to try.

“A man in a white t-shirt stands in front of a round bathroom mirror and his reflection gradually shrinks into a miniature version of himself. The tiny copy stays inside the mirror frame and looks back at him. Slow push-in, soft bathroom light, photorealistic.”
“A woman stands at a bathroom sink and watches her reflection shrink. Over a few seconds the mirrored version of her becomes a tiny figure standing on the counter, same face and outfit. Locked camera, cool morning light through the window, quiet transformation.”
“A woman holds her palm up and a palm-sized 3D version of herself stands on it, puffing her cheeks and then breaking into a big smile. The full-size face stays soft and blurred behind the hand. Slow push-in, bright window light, playful and clean.”
“A woman in a beige coat walks down a city street while a tiny version of herself pops her head out of the coat pocket and looks around. The little figure rests her chin on the pocket edge. Steady tracking shot, soft overcast daylight, realistic fabric textures.”
“A woman reading on a park bench glances down at a tiny version of herself sitting beside her with a book on her lap. The little figure looks up and smiles and the woman tilts her head toward her. Slow lateral camera drift, golden afternoon light, photorealistic.”
“A man stands in a clean studio and a knee-high clone of himself steps out beside him, then looks up and taps his leg. Both keep the same face and outfit. Locked camera, soft gray seamless background, even studio lighting, photorealistic.”
“A man on a couch leans forward to look at a tiny version of himself standing on the coffee table beside a mug. The small figure looks up and raises one hand in a greeting. Slow push-in, warm living room lamp light, cinematic shallow depth of field.”
“A tiny version of a woman sits on her own full-size shoulder, swinging her legs and waving at the camera. The woman turns her head toward the little figure and smiles. Gentle handheld camera move, soft daylight, photorealistic detail, clean background.”
“A woman sitting in a cozy cafe lifts her open hand with a tiny version of herself standing on the palm. The small figure waves with both hands and the woman smiles down at her. Slow push toward the palm, warm bokeh lights in the background, realistic skin and fabric detail.”
“A man working at a wooden desk notices a five-inch version of himself standing on the desk next to his keyboard. The tiny copy turns toward him and points at the monitor while the man leans in closer. Slow dolly-in, warm desk lamp light, shallow focus, photorealistic.”
“A woman in a denim jacket looks down as a palm-sized version of herself peeks out of her chest pocket and waves. The little figure leans on the pocket edge and smiles, the camera slowly tilts down and pushes in. Warm natural daylight, realistic denim texture, photorealistic.”
“A man in a light button-up shirt holds a tiny version of himself standing in the middle of his open palm. The miniature copy wears the same outfit, looks up and takes a small step forward while the full-size man stares down at him. Slow push-in on the hand, soft window light, shallow depth of field, photorealistic.”
The Style
An AI mini me video generator turns one photo into a short clip where a shrunken copy of you stands beside the full-size you. Upload a single image, and the model keeps your face, hair and outfit while it builds a miniature version of the same person and puts both of you in one frame — a palm-sized you in an open hand, a copy leaning out of a chest pocket, a five-inch you walking across a desk next to a keyboard, or a tiny you sitting on your own shoulder. The effect lives on scale contrast, so the scene does the work: everyday objects stay at true size, contact shadows sit under tiny feet, and a slow push-in keeps both versions of you readable. That detail is what separates a convincing clip from a pasted-in cutout, and it is also why this is a video format rather than a photo filter — the miniature version blinks, waves, steps forward and looks up at you. Everything is set by a prompt, so you choose the location, the single small action and the camera move, and every example on this page was made from one photo and one prompt. No editing software, no compositing and no 3D tools involved, and the results are short, loop-friendly clips sized for stories, reels and profile videos.

“The person from the uploaded photo holds one hand open at chest height, and a palm-sized copy of them — same face, same hair, same outfit — stands in the middle of the palm, looking up at the big version; a soft contact shadow grounds the tiny feet, the tiny copy takes one small step and waves, the camera pushes in slowly on the hand, warm window light, shallow depth of field, photorealistic, keep both faces recognizable.”
“The person from the uploaded photo looks down as a tiny version of themselves leans over the edge of their chest pocket and rests their chin on the seam; the little figure blinks, looks around and lifts one hand in a greeting, the full-size person smiles and tilts their head, slow tilt-down and gentle push-in, natural daylight, crisp denim and cotton texture, photorealistic.”
“The person from the uploaded photo cups both hands in front of them as if holding something fragile, and a miniature copy of them stands inside the cupped palms with hands on their hips; the tiny figure looks up and shrugs, the fingers stay still and relaxed, soft lamp light from one side, background falling into creamy bokeh, macro lens look, photorealistic, no text.”
“The person from the uploaded photo sits at a wooden desk and notices a five-inch version of themselves standing beside the keyboard; the tiny copy turns toward the laptop, points at the screen and looks back at the big version, who leans in closer, the camera dollies in slowly, warm desk lamp glow, shallow focus, photorealistic.”
“A miniature version of the person from the uploaded photo walks across a wooden table past a full-size coffee mug, so the mug stands taller than they do; the tiny figure stops, looks up at the rim of the cup and takes a small step back, steam drifts slowly, the camera tracks at table height, morning light through a window, photorealistic, realistic scale.”
“The person from the uploaded photo stands in front of a bookshelf while a tiny copy of them climbs onto the spine of a thick book and sits down with their legs hanging over the edge; the little figure looks around the shelf and swings their legs, the big version leans in to look, slow push-in from book height, soft daylight from the side, photorealistic, believable scale.”
“A tiny version of the person from the uploaded photo sits on their own full-size shoulder, legs dangling over the collarbone and one hand resting on the shirt collar; the little figure waves at the camera while the big version turns their head and smiles, gentle handheld drift, soft daylight on the face, clean background, photorealistic, both faces recognizable.”
“The person from the uploaded photo sits reading on a park bench, and a miniature copy of them sits beside them on the same bench with their own small book; the tiny figure looks up from the page and smiles, the big version tilts their head toward them, slow lateral camera drift, golden afternoon light through the trees, photorealistic.”
“The person from the uploaded photo walks down a city sidewalk in a long coat while a tiny version of themselves pops out of the coat pocket and looks around; the little figure rests their chin on the pocket edge and holds on as the coat moves, steady tracking shot beside the shoulder, soft overcast daylight, realistic fabric, photorealistic.”
“The person from the uploaded photo stands in front of a bathroom mirror and watches their reflection shrink down over a few seconds into a miniature version of themselves standing on the counter; the tiny copy turns around inside the mirror and looks back at them, the full-size person stays still, locked camera, cool morning light, quiet and realistic.”
“A miniature version of the person from the uploaded photo stands on a bathroom counter next to a toothbrush that is taller than they are, while the full-size version leans on the counter and looks down at them; the tiny figure points at the mirror and turns around, slow push-in at counter height, soft window light, photorealistic, clean composition.”
“The person from the uploaded photo stands by a large window at dusk, and their reflection in the glass turns into a tiny version of themselves standing on the sill; the little figure presses a hand against the glass and looks out at the street, the city lights blur behind, slow push-in from behind the shoulder, cinematic low light, photorealistic.”
How It Works
Turn one photo into a miniature version of yourself in three simple steps — no sign-up required to get started.
Drop a single photo into the upload area at the top of this page — a clear, well-lit shot of one person works best, either a head-and-shoulders portrait or a wider frame with room around you. That one photo supplies the face, hair and outfit the miniature copy is built from.
Choose a prompt from the library above or write your own. Name where the tiny you stands — a palm, a pocket, a desk, a shoulder — add the one small action you want, and set the light and camera move. The photo holds your likeness and framing; the prompt decides the scale scene and the motion.
Hit Generate and your clip arrives in a few minutes — a short, loop-friendly video with both the full-size you and the miniature you in frame. Free accounts include daily generations with a small watermark; sign in to download, and a subscription removes the watermark.

It is a short clip where a shrunken copy of you appears next to the real you — a palm-sized you standing in an open hand, sitting on your shoulder, walking across a desk or peeking out of a pocket. You upload one photo and add a prompt; the model keeps your face, hair and outfit, builds the miniature version, and sets the pair moving for about five seconds. The point of the format is scale contrast: everyday objects stay full size so the size gap is obvious in every frame.
