AI New Year Video Maker: Happy New Year From Your Photo

VdoBloom's AI New Year video maker turns one photo into a short New Year greeting. The people from your photo appear on a night rooftop with fireworks bursting over a city skyline, confetti and sparklers, and "Happy New Year" is typeset on screen with your names and message, for example "Cheers to 2027 together". The clip is vertical 9:16 for Status, Stories and Reels.

The year is part of your text, not drawn by the AI, so "2027" always renders correctly. The default New Year video costs 7 credits; there is no subscription, new accounts get free credits at sign-up and one-time credits never expire.

Examples

How it works

  1. 1

    Upload a photo

    Friends, a couple or the family in party outfits. Night photos work if the faces are well lit.

  2. 2

    Add "Happy New Year 2027" and names

    Type your message (up to 120 characters) and names; the greeting line "Happy New Year" is added for you.

  3. 3

    Generate

    New Year is already selected. Download the MP4 in 2 to 3 minutes.

Why use this tool

  • Fireworks around your own photo

    Your people stay in the frame while fireworks, confetti and sparklers light up the scene.

  • The year spelled right

    Text is typeset after generation, so "2027" never comes out as garbled AI lettering.

  • Hindi greeting option

    The greeting line can be shown as नव वर्ष की शुभकामनाएं; other languages fall back to English, and you can write the message in any supported script.

Year-in-review idea: animate your favourite photo of 2026

Pick the best photo of the year (a trip, a wedding, a new home) and turn it into your New Year greeting, so the wish also shows what the year meant.

Lunar New Year and regional new years

This style is for the 1 January New Year. For Lunar New Year (6 February 2027), see the Lunar New Year photo tool.

How much does a New Year video cost?

Pricing is per video in credits: the default greeting (Seedance 2 Mini, 4 seconds, 480p) is 7 credits, and the 5-second 720p clips on this page were 17 credits each. New accounts get free credits at sign-up, there is no subscription to start, and one-time pack credits never expire. The exact price shows before you generate, and a failed video refunds its credits automatically.

Which photo works best?

A sharp, front-facing photo where every face is well lit works best. The photo becomes the first frame, so outfits and the setting carry into the video.

Solo, couple and family photos all work. Large group photos with very small faces give weaker results.

Upload only photos of yourself or of people who agreed to it. You confirm you are 18 or over before uploading.
