How it works

How do I make a video selfie with Santa from my photo?

Upload one photo of yourself and get a 10-second vertical selfie video by a Christmas tree: Santa leans in beside you, laughs, gives the camera a thumbs up and a wink, you point at him, and you both wave. Santa is AI-made; only you come from your photo.

  1. Add your photo

    Upload one sharp photo. One adult, face clear, chest up. No sign-in, no password and no app: it all happens on this page.

  2. The AI does the moves

    Phone up by the tree → Santa leans in → A belly laugh → Thumbs up and a wink → Both wave

  3. Post it like the meme

    Caption it like you just ran into him.

What is the Selfie With Santa meme?

Every December people post AI "selfies" with Santa, made from one photo, to send to family or slip into the group chat. They come back each year from late November.

Best photo for a Selfie With Santa video

One adult, face clear, chest up, in good light. Your clothes carry over, so a sweater or Christmas jumper fits the scene.

Post it like the meme

Try one of these:

  • he finally answered my letter
  • caught him before the big night
  • proof I made the nice list

FAQ

Selfie With Santa AI FAQ

Can I make it with my child's photo?

No. This template only takes photos of adults. For a message from Santa to a child, see our custom Santa video message page, which works from a name, not a child's photo.

Does Santa say anything?

He laughs his ho ho ho; there's no message or name in it.

Can I pick the room?

The living room and tree are made by the AI. Your face, hair and clothes come from your photo.

Is Turnly an app, a filter or the official Selfie With Santa maker?

No. Turnly is an independent website, not made by or affiliated with the creators of the Selfie With Santa meme, TikTok or CapCut. There's no app or live filter: you upload a photo in your browser and get a new AI video. It never uses or edits the original clip.

Sign-up, payment, refunds, failed videos and what happens to your photos are answered on the Pricing and How it works pages.
