The elf dance, made with your real photo
Dancing elf videos have been a holiday tradition for years. Instead of a cut-out face on a cartoon body, this AI elf video generator animates your whole look from a single photo.
You get the full costume: green tunic with red trim, a pointy hat with a bell and red and white stockings. The routine is quick kicks, claps and hops in a toy workshop full of wrapped gifts.
It is a fun alternative to classic elf dance apps, and it works for adults, kids (with a parent's permission) and even group photos when you use the group dance template.

Questions, answered
Is this the Elf Yourself app?
No. AI Christmas Dance is an independent AI tool and is not affiliated with JibJab or Elf Yourself. It creates a new elf video from your photo instead of placing a cut-out face on a template.
Can I put several people in one elf video?
The elf template works best with one person. For friends or family together, use the group holiday dance template with a group photo.
How long is an elf dance video?
You can choose 5 or 10 seconds. Both are vertical 9:16 with holiday music.
Your Christmas video is one photo away
Pick a template, add a photo and post it before the holidays are over.
