What a ghost filter video is

The ghost filter is a Halloween effect where a see-through ghost appears behind or beside you in a video. Phone apps add it live through the camera. This page is for the other way round: you upload a photo and an AI model generates a short cinematic clip around it, with a ghost fading in, a light flicker and your startled reaction. It generates an original clip from your photo and does not copy any app's filter.

Who can be in it

You, a grown-up friend who said yes, or a pet. No celebrities and no children.

Frequently asked questions

Is this a ghost filter I can use live on my camera?

No. It generates a short video from one uploaded photo; it is not a live camera filter.

Is it available yet?

Not yet. Leave your email on the page and we will tell you when it opens.

Is it a face swap?

No. The ghost is an invented figure and your photo stays your own.

Can I use a photo of someone else?

Only if they agreed. Photos of children, celebrities and strangers are not allowed.
