Solmi's photo dance AI makes the person in a photo dance. You give it one full-body photo, one move (a Solmi move or your own clip of up to 30 seconds), and a song. You get a clip of up to 60 seconds in which the person performs that move in time with the beat, vertical for TikTok and Reels or widescreen for YouTube, in 480p or 720p. The song can be an MP3 upload, a Suno or YouTube link, or a track you made in Solmi.
Solmi has two dance tools. The AI dance video generator builds a whole video around your song. Make Photo Dance makes one photo perform one recorded move as a short clip.

Want a whole dance video for your song, with choreography for every section? Use the AI dance video generator.
Upload a full-body photo of one person, pick one of Solmi's moves or upload your own dance clip, attach a song, and trim the section you want. Solmi transfers the move onto the person in the photo and times it to the beat. A clip usually renders in 2 to 6 minutes.
It is a tool that makes the person in a still photo perform a dance. Solmi takes a full-body photo, a reference clip of the choreography (one of Solmi's moves or a clip you upload), and a section of your song, then transfers the real movement onto your photo and locks it to the beat.
A full-body, front-facing photo of one person with the face and hands visible. Caps and sunglasses hide the features the model uses to keep the face the same, so a clean photo holds identity better. You can run the built-in photo enhancement before generating.
From a reference clip, not from a text prompt. Pick one of Solmi's recorded moves (hip-hop, K-pop, house, jazz-funk, waacking, contemporary, ballet, Bollywood, anime dance, basic steps) or upload a clip of someone dancing. Only upload clips you recorded or have permission to use.
Yes. Upload an MP4 or MOV of one dancer, up to 30 seconds long, and the person in your photo performs that move. Only upload clips you recorded or have permission to use.
Solmi reads the song's tempo, then speeds the move up or down within 15 percent so the steps land on the beat of the section you trimmed. The song itself is never changed.
One clip covers up to 60 seconds of your song. Clips are billed per second of output: 5 credits per second at 480p and 10 credits per second at 720p, with a 3-second minimum. A 10-second 480p clip costs 50 credits, and the estimate updates as you change the trim or the quality.
It is free to start. A new account on the web gets 100 one-time music-video credits with no credit card, enough for about 20 seconds of 480p photo dance clips at 5 credits per second. After that you need a paid plan or a credit pack.
Yes, with Solmi's AI dance video generator. It plans the choreography for every section of the song, storyboards each shot, and renders dance shots and lip-sync shots into one video. Make Photo Dance is for short clips of one move.
Paid plans include commercial use under Solmi's terms. You still need the rights to the music, the photo, the likeness of the person in it, and the reference clip you upload.
