How it works
How does the Protoface AI hug generator work?
Upload a photo and Protoface turns your photo into a video. Your photos set who is in the hug, and one written sentence sets how they hug.
PHOTO ONE
01 / FIRST PERSON
Your photo sets who hugs
The face, hair and outfit come from a clear photo of the first person.
PHOTO TWO
02 / SECOND PERSON
Add a second photo if you need
Not in one picture together? A separate photo of the second person works too.
YOUR VIDEO
03 / RESULT
Your video brings them together
The AI hug generator puts both people in one scene and animates the hug you described.
How to make one
How to make an AI hug video with Protoface
Go from photo to hug video in six steps, with no editing software and no subscription.
01 / PHOTO
Choose your photo or photos
Pick one photo with both people in it, or one clear photo of each person.
02 / CONSENT
Check that everyone agreed
Use photos you have the right to use, of people who said yes to a hug video.
03 / MODEL
Pick a model and a length
Any model here animates one photo. For two separate photos, pick Seedance 2.0 or Wan 3.0.
04 / DESCRIBE
Describe the hug in a sentence
Write who moves toward whom, how they hug, and whether the camera stays still.
05 / GENERATE
Check the cost, then generate
Read the credit estimate for your settings first, then generate your AI hug video.
06 / REVIEW
Check faces, hands and arms
Watch where arms cross and faces meet. If something looks off, change one thing and retry.
One photo or two
How do you make two people hug with AI?
Protoface has no one-tap hug effect. You upload your photos, describe the hug, and the model animates it. Both routes are image to video AI, where a still picture becomes a moving video.
ONE PHOTO
01 / ONE PHOTO
One photo of both people
Upload a photo that already shows both people and describe the hug. Kling 3.0 Pro, Seedance 2.0, Wan 3.0 and Veo 3.1 each turn one photo into a hug video.
TWO PHOTOS
02 / TWO PHOTOS
Two separate photos
Add a photo of each person and describe the hug that joins them in one scene. Seedance 2.0 and Wan 3.0 can combine two separate photos in one video.
Better photos, warmer hugs
Which photos work best for an AI hugging video?
Clear photos give the model more to work with and save you retries. Check yours before you spend credits.
✓
Both faces are sharp, evenly lit and turned toward the camera
✓
Arms and hands are in view, clear of bags, cups and the frame edge
✓
There is space around the two people, so they have room to move
✓
Two separate photos share a similar angle, distance and light

Pricing
How much does an AI hug video cost?
You pay only for the hug videos you make. There is no subscription, and you can start free.
01 / START FREE
Start with 50 free credits
New accounts get 50 free credits, and you need no credit card to sign up.
02 / PAY AS YOU GO
Pay only for what you make
Buy credits when you need them. There is no subscription, and a monthly plan is optional.
03 / NO SURPRISES
See the cost before you generate
Protoface shows what a video will cost before you make it, so you decide before you spend.
Is the Protoface AI hug generator free to try?
Yes. New accounts start with 50 free credits and need no credit card. That is enough to make a first short hug video and see how it looks. Before your first payment, free-credit videos are watermarked and for evaluation only.
Consent and rights
Can you make an AI hug video of someone else?
Only with their consent. Your video shows real people in a moment that never happened, so ask everyone in the photos first. For a child, a parent or guardian decides.
01 / PEOPLE
Everyone in the photos agreed
Only use photos of people who said yes. Never depict a real person without consent.
02 / RIGHTS
Photos you are cleared to use
Use pictures you have the right to use. A photo found online is not yours to animate.
03 / SHARING
Say when a video is AI-made
Label the video as AI-generated when you share it, so nobody mistakes it for real footage.
