The viral zombie trend, made yours
How to Do the Zombie Trend Video
To do the zombie trend, you need two photos: one of the person who holds the gun and one of the person or pet who turns. Upload both to a zombie trend video generator, choose 480p or 720p and 16:9 or 9:16, and download a 15-second clip with sound. You do not need to film anything, edit cuts or write a prompt.

How to make a zombie trend video, step by step
Step 1
Open the generator and pick who turns
Go to the AI zombie video generator and choose Couple, Family and friends, or Pet. The choice only changes how the second photo is described to the model.
Step 2
Add the two photos
Put the person who holds the gun in the first slot and the one who turns in the second. Use JPG, PNG or WebP up to 10 MB, at least 512 pixels on the short side.
Step 3
Choose quality and format
Pick 480p for 100 credits or 720p for 200 credits. Pick 16:9 for the letterboxed film look of the original zombie trend video, or 9:16 to fill the phone screen. Format does not change the price.
Step 4
Confirm consent and render
Tick the box that confirms everyone agreed, then press Make my video. Your zombie trend video renders in the background, so you can close the tab.
Step 5
Download and post
Open My videos, download the MP4 and post it natively to TikTok, Reels or Shorts. If a render fails, the credits return to your balance automatically.
Which photos make the best zombie trend video?
In a zombie trend video the model rebuilds each face from your photos in every shot, so the photo matters more than any setting. Front-facing shots with even light and no sunglasses work best. Avoid group photos, heavy filters and faces partly covered by hair, hands or masks.
For a deeper checklist, and fixes when a zombie trend video does not look like you, read our guide to zombie trend photos.
Can I do the zombie trend with one photo?
Not with this generator. The story needs two people, or a person and a pet, so it asks for two photos. If you only have one picture with both of you in it, crop it into two separate photos, one face in each, and the zombie trend video will use each crop as its own reference. A cropped photo needs to stay sharp after cropping, so start from the original file rather than a screenshot.
How to post your zombie trend video so the cut lands
The last shot of a zombie trend video is what people rewatch, so the way you post it matters as much as the render.
Upload the file natively Post the MP4 directly to TikTok, Reels or Shorts instead of sharing a link.
Keep the cold first frame Do not trim the cabin opening. The switch from gray to golden light is what holds viewers.
Add sound in the app The clip ships with ambient sound. To use a trending audio, add it in the app and lower the original volume.
Write a short caption Something like "would you still choose me?" and a tag for the person in the zombie trend video.
Post a 9:16 cut too If the 16:9 version looks small on phones, render a second copy in 9:16 for Stories.
Zombie trend video questions
How long does it take to make a zombie trend video?
You spend about a minute uploading photos and picking settings. Rendering then runs in the background, and the finished zombie trend video appears in My videos when it is ready.
How much does a zombie trend video cost?
A 480p clip uses 100 credits and a 720p clip uses 200 credits. The Single pack is $9.90 for one 480p video, the 4-video pack is $29 and the 10-video pack is $59. There is no subscription.
Do I need CapCut or a template?
No. The generator creates the whole zombie trend video, cuts and sound included, from your two photos. You can still open the MP4 in CapCut afterwards to add captions or music.
Can I choose who becomes the zombie?
Yes. Whoever is in the second photo turns. Swap the photos to swap the roles, and roles are not tied to gender or relationship.
Can I make the zombie trend video on my phone?
Yes. Open the site in Safari or Chrome, upload from your camera roll and download the MP4 straight to your phone.
What if the result looks wrong?
If the render fails, the credits come back automatically. If it finishes but a face looks off, try sharper front-facing photos, since a better photo fixes most issues.
