What makes a good New Year status video?
A clear face, a short runtime, and a vertical frame that fills a phone screen. Ten seconds is enough for a greeting without feeling long.
How do I create one from my photo?
- Upload one clear JPG, PNG, or WEBP (person, couple side by side, or one pet).
- Pick a New Year scene (default: climb the giant 2027).
- Pay $2.99 for one HD credit (guests can pay first, then claim the download by email), generate, and download the MP4.
Which scene reads clearly on a small phone screen?
Climb the giant 2027 and Goodbye 2026 read even on a small preview. Countdown and confetti also work when you want a party flash.
How do I save and post the MP4?
Download when ready, then upload to your chat status or feed. Keep a local copy; downloads are available for 14 days on the site.
What are the price and redo rules?
$2.99 per HD video; failed jobs return the credit; one free redo within 14 days; unused pack refundable within 7 days.
Can I use this MP4 as a chat status?
Many chat apps accept short MP4 status updates. Limits differ by app—10 seconds is within common caps, but always check the app you use (for example WhatsApp status length rules).
