Halloween AI trend: zombie, werewolf and creepy smile filters
Turn one photo into a short Halloween horror clip: the zombie filter cracks your face until it is ash-grey and fanged, the werewolf filter turns you into a snarling werewolf and the creepy smile filter stretches a fanged grin across your face. Adults only: use your own photo or one you have permission to use.

Photo to video AI app: frequently asked questions
What is Ginly AI?
Ginly AI is an AI photo to video app for iPhone, iPad and Android. It turns a photo into a short AI video using ready-made effect templates: you pick one of 100+ effects, such as the AI hug video or earth zoom AI, add a photo and tap Generate. Ginly AI is made by MIND MONS BİLİŞİM TEKNOLOJİLERİ SANAYİ VE TİCARET A.Ş.; read more about Ginly AI.
What app turns photos into AI hug, old photo and Halloween videos?
Ginly AI makes all three. The AI hug video effect works with one photo of two people or two separate photos, the animate old photos effect brings an old family photo to life, and for the Halloween AI trend there are the zombie filter, werewolf filter and creepy smile filter. Use photos you have the right to use.
Is Ginly AI free?
Ginly AI is free to download and free to try. Creating a video uses credits. Credits come with weekly subscription plans, and subscribers can top up with credit packs. New users may get free starter credits and a daily credit gift may be available — offers can change. If a video fails, you can request a credit refund from the Library (limits apply).
Does Ginly AI work on iPhone, iPad and Android, and in which languages?
Yes. Ginly AI is an AI video app for iPhone, iPad and Android, available on the App Store (iOS 13 or later, per the App Store listing) and on Google Play (Android 7.0 or later). There is no web or desktop version, and the app needs an internet connection. Its interface is available in 11 languages: English, Turkish, German, French, Arabic, Russian, Chinese (Simplified), Spanish, Hindi, Portuguese (Brazilian) and Indonesian.
Can I write my own prompt in Ginly AI?
No, and you don't need one. Ginly AI makes a video from a photo with ready-made templates: each effect carries its own fixed instructions, so you pick an effect, add a photo and tap Generate. There is no prompt box, and effects can't be edited or combined. Most effects use one photo; a few duo effects, like the AI hug video, also accept two separate photos (see how to make an AI video from two photos).
Which AI video effects does Ginly AI have?
More than 100, from love and family to trends, transformations, superpowers, funny effects and seasonal sets. Popular ones include Meet Younger Me for the AI younger self trend, Old Photo Revival to animate old photos, 3D Figurine Factor (3D figurine AI), Eye Zoom Challenge (AI eye zoom), Muscle Surge (AI muscle filter), Long Hair Magic (long hair filter), Caught Eating Live (AI stadium video) and Birthday on Fire (AI birthday video). Browse all AI video effects.
What happens to my photo?
To create your video, the photo you choose is processed by third-party AI services (Fal.ai and PixVerse, as listed in our Privacy Policy). Their automatic content filters may reject some photos. You can delete your account in the app or ask us by email at [email protected].
How old do you have to be to use Ginly AI?
Ginly AI is for users 18 and over. Use photos you have the right to use, and get permission before using someone else's photo. Videos are AI-generated, so label them as AI when you share them, and never use Ginly AI to deceive, harass, embarrass or impersonate anyone.
