Melting Background AI Video Effect
Upload any photo, no prompt needed, and this melting background generator turns the scene into a video where everything around you drips downward while you stay perfectly still.
Melting Background AI Video Effect
Melt the background of any photo into a video with this melting background AI generator. Upload an image and the tool masks your subject precisely, then animates everything around them dripping downward over time, like wax, paint, or ice cream softened by heat. Walls sag, streets stretch, and buildings flow downward in irregular, gravity-driven drips, while you stay exactly as photographed for the entire clip. The subject masking works the same way as the Transparent Background tool, so edges around hair and fine details stay clean throughout the video.
What you can create

- Surreal, dreamlike backgrounds with buildings, trees, and streets dripping downward over time
