How to Make a Paws At You Video of Your Pet

To make a paws at you video you need one photo: your cat, your dog, another pet, or yourself. Upload it to the generator on the homepage, pick a length, and the AI turns your pet into the big-eyed snow leopard that stares into the camera and taps a paw on the lens. You don't write a prompt. A video takes roughly 2 to 4 minutes depending on the length (an estimate), and you can leave the page while it's made.

Make Your Paws At You Video in Three Steps

1. Pick one photo. One pet or one person, face big, sharp and well lit, looking toward the camera. JPG, PNG, WebP or HEIC up to 10 MB; iPhone photos are converted for you. On a computer you can also scan the QR code and send the photo from your phone; it shows up in about 2 seconds.
2. Upload it and choose a length. Sign in with your Google account, drop the photo into the generator, tick the box confirming it's your pet, you, or an adult who agreed, and pick 6 seconds (6 credits), 10 seconds (13 credits) or 15 seconds (20 credits). Then press the make button.
3. Download or share. Your video is saved in your account as a vertical 9:16 MP4 in 720p, with no watermark. Download it, or use the TikTok share button to post it.

Photo Tips for Your Pet's Snow Leopard Look

• Get the face big and sharp. The model keeps your pet's face shape, nose, ears and markings, so it needs a clear look at them.
• Eyes visible, looking toward the camera. The meme is all about the eyes; a pet glancing away gives the model less to work with.
• Ears to chest in frame. For a cat or dog, a photo from the ears down to the chest works well.
• Nothing covering the face. No hands, toys, blankets or stickers over it.
• Good light. Daylight from a window beats a dark room or a bright light behind your pet.
• One subject per photo. One pet or one person, not a group.
• No other app's watermark. Screenshots with another app's watermark are refused by the content review (your credits come back).

Which Length to Pick

The same routine plays every time, timed to the length you choose: the stare with huge glossy eyes, the paw pressed against the lens and tapped twice, the head tilt with a tiny mew, and the slow blink.

• 6 seconds, 6 credits. The quickest one to make, about 2 minutes (estimate).
• 10 seconds, 13 credits. More time for each beat, about 3 minutes (estimate).
• 15 seconds, 20 credits. The full version with the most time for the slow blink at the end, about 4 minutes (estimate).

The smallest pack, Single, is $9.90 for 20 credits: one 15-second video or three 6-second videos. Packs are one-time payments in US dollars and credits never expire. You can also earn credits by inviting friends: +1 for each friend who signs up with your link (up to 50) and +10 when a friend makes their first purchase.

What Your Video Looks Like

• Your pet keeps its own breed, face and ear shape under thick pale grey snow leopard fur with dark rosettes and a long spotted tail, and moves like a real animal on four legs.
• If you use a photo of yourself, you keep your face, hair and skin tone, get the same huge glossy eyes, and wear a fluffy snow leopard hood with small round ears and big padded paw mittens.
• The setting is a snowy, rocky mountain enclosure in soft daylight with a few snowflakes, filmed as one close-up shot.
• The sound is soft wind chimes, a light breeze and gentle paw taps on the glass, with no vocals.

It's AI, so results vary from render to render. The exact backdrop and eye size aren't guaranteed, and sometimes part of your photo's own background stays in.

Other Ways People Make It

• Drawing or editing it by hand. The original meme is a still image, and many people redraw other characters in the same pose. That takes drawing or editing skills and gives you a picture, not a video.
• A general AI video tool. You write your own prompt for the look, the paw on the lens and the eyes, then try again until the tool keeps your pet's face. Sound is up to you.
• Paws At You. One photo, no prompt, the whole routine and the wind-chime sound built in; you pay with credits from a one-time pack.

Posting Tips

• Keep it vertical. The video is already 9:16, the shape TikTok, Reels and Shorts use.
• Caption it the meme way. Start with "*paws at you*" and add your own line, like an invite to play a game or a needy little question.
• Use the trend's hashtags: #pawsatyou, #snowleopardmeimei, #snowleopardmeme, #meimei.
• Pick a sound if you like. The video comes with wind chimes and a breeze, and you can add any sound from the TikTok or Reels library when you post.
• Say it's AI-generated when you post it.

If Something Goes Wrong

A failed render is retried once automatically for free. If it fails again, the credits go back to your account automatically, and so do the credits for a photo the content review refuses. If a finished video has a problem, email support@pawsatyou.org and we refund the credits that video used, in money, back to your original payment method (through Stripe). If you used only part of a pack, the credits you haven't used yet are refunded in money too.

Paws At You Video FAQ

How long does it take to make?

About 2 minutes for 6 seconds, 3 minutes for 10 seconds and 4 minutes for 15 seconds. These are estimates. You can leave the page; the finished video is saved in your account.

Can I use a photo of my dog instead of a cat?

Yes. Cats, dogs and other pets all work. Your dog keeps its own breed, face and ears under the snow leopard coat and moves like a real dog on four legs.

Can I put myself in it?

Yes. Upload a photo of yourself and you'll appear with the same huge glossy eyes, wearing a fluffy snow leopard hood and paw mittens. Anyone else in a photo must be an adult who agreed, and celebrities and public figures aren't allowed.

Can I use the video in ads or sponsored posts?

Yes. The videos are yours to use, including commercially (ads, promotions, client work, sponsored posts), as well as on your own social accounts.

Who sees my photo?

Your photo is used only to make your video, and the AI provider doesn't keep it. Uploaded photos are deleted automatically 30 days after upload. See the privacy policy for details.
