The birthday video they will replay

Make their photo sing happy birthday

Upload a photo of the birthday person, pick a song or write one about them, and Muzie turns it into a music video where they perform it. No camera, no editing, no asking the group chat to record clips.

First video free to try. Ready in minutes, not the night before.

How a birthday video gets made

Four decisions. None of them need a camera, a crew or a timeline.

Step 1

Pick the song

Happy Birthday from the library, their favourite track, or describe a song about them and get an original with their name in the chorus.

Step 2

Add the singer

The birthday person, the whole family, the office, the dog. Every visible face that is roughly facing the camera joins in.

Step 3

Choose the look

Photoreal keeps them recognisable. Claymation, anime and comic book turn a normal photo into the joke of the day.

Step 4

Let it direct

Muzie storyboards the scenes against the lyrics, syncs the mouths to the vocal and exports a portrait video ready to send.

What people make for birthdays

The same tool, pointed at the birthdays that come around every year.

The card that sings

Their own face performing Happy Birthday, sent at midnight. It beats a printed card and it is still in their phone next year.

The group photo performance

The friends photo from last summer, all of them singing. One person makes it, everyone gets the credit.

A song written about them

Describe their year, their habits and their in jokes, and get an original birthday song with their name in it. Then have their photo sing it.

The milestone birthday

A 30th, 40th or 60th deserves more than a balloon. The archive photo from decades ago performing a current hit is its own gift.

Family who cannot be there

A singing video from the grandchildren lands on the day, whichever country the birthday is in.

The pet sends its wishes

The dog singing happy birthday to its owner is the message that gets shown to everyone at the party.

Pick the look of the video

Keep the photo recognisable, or send it somewhere much sillier.

Birthday video questions

The things people ask before making the first one.

Upload a photo of them facing the camera, pick Happy Birthday or another song, and choose a style. Muzie animates the face and syncs it to the vocal in minutes.

Muzie turns one photo of her into a music video of her singing, or writes an original birthday song with her name in it on Pro. It is made for exactly this kind of personal gift.

Yes. Your first video is free to try, up to 30 seconds with a watermark, which is long enough for Happy Birthday.

Yes. Describe them, give their name and a few details, and an original song is written around it. Writing an original song is on Pro.

Use their worst photo, pick a style that suits them least, like an eighties power ballad, and put their habits in the lyrics. Claymation and anime make the same photo funnier.

Yes. A scanned childhood photo works well as long as the face is clear and towards the camera. It is a popular one for milestone birthdays.

Yes. Every face in the photo that is roughly facing the camera sings, so a family photo becomes a choir.

Download the video and send it like any other clip. It is portrait, so it fills the phone screen.

Yes. A clear photo of your pet facing the camera works, and the mouth is animated to the song.

Minutes. Upload the photo, choose the song and style, and it is ready while you write the card.

A clear, well-lit photo with the face front on and the mouth visible. Sunglasses, side profiles and very dark photos give weaker results.

Yes. People make tribute videos from a favourite photo and a song that meant something to them, to share with family on the day.

Make it the day before, send it at midnight

Generation takes minutes, so there is no reason to leave it until the morning. Make one now, try a second song, and keep the one that lands.
