How to Make a Chipmunks Dance Video

Step-by-step guide to making a chipmunks dance video from one photo: photo tips, lengths, credits and how to post it.

Last updated: 2026-11-03

You need one photo and a few minutes. Upload it, choose a length, and you get a vertical three-dancer video of the chipmunks dance routine. Rendering usually takes a few minutes, and you can leave the page while you wait because the video is saved in your account.

Make It in Three Steps

  1. Pick one photo. Three people, three pets, or just one person or pet. JPG, PNG, WebP or HEIC up to 10 MB works, and iPhone HEIC photos are converted for you. On a computer, press "Upload from your phone", scan the QR code and send a photo from your phone (the code lasts 15 minutes).
  2. Upload and choose a length. Sign in with Google, drop the photo in, tick the consent box and pick 6 seconds (6 credits), 10 seconds (13 credits) or 15 seconds (20 credits). The 15-second version is the default and shows the whole routine.
  3. Generate, download and post. Press the generate button, wait for the render, then press Download in your account. You can also use the share button or the TikTok share.

Photo Tips

  • Everyone facing the camera. The routine is built for three dancers facing front.
  • Clear faces and good light. Dark or backlit photos give the model less to work with.
  • Nobody cut off. Keep every person or pet fully in the frame.
  • One photo is enough. There is no second slot. If your photo shows fewer than three subjects, the missing dancers are made to look like the ones pictured.
  • Photos we can't use. The video service refuses celebrities and public figures, screenshots with another app's watermark, and photos with flags, political or copyrighted content. If that happens your credits come back automatically.

Other Ways People Make It

Most people film it for real: three friends in a row, sometimes in red, blue and green with chipmunk ears. That needs three people, a bit of rehearsal and a good spot. This site is for when you can't get the trio together, or want your pets in the lineup.

Posting Tips

The clip is a vertical 9:16 MP4, the right shape for TikTok and Instagram Reels. It has an instrumental dance beat, so add the trending sound from the TikTok or Reels sound library inside the app. Hashtags people use include #chipmunksdance, #alvinandthechipmunks and #aivideo. Say the clip is AI-generated.

Questions

How much does it cost? A 15-second video is 20 credits. Packs are Single $9.90 for 20 credits, Trio $19.90 for 60 and Crew $29.90 for 100, one-time and never expiring. There is no free trial, but you earn credits by inviting friends.

What if the render fails? It is retried once for free, then the credits are refunded automatically. If the video can't start, no credits are taken.

Who sees my photo? Photos are deleted automatically 30 days after upload, and the AI video service doesn't keep them.
