Do I need blinds in my photo?

No. The blinds are added between the camera and your subject; your photo only needs a clear view of the face.

Whose hand parts the slats?

Usually your subject's own hand, coming up to the blinds from their side.

Can I use a different model, or make it longer?

Yes. Five seconds on MiniMax H3 is the default; before you generate you can set up to 15 seconds or 2K on H3, or switch to another model listed for this effect in Studio, such as Wan 3.0 for up to 30 seconds. The Generate button shows the updated price first. Our samples were made on MiniMax H3, so other models may interpret the prompt a little differently.

Will it change what's in my photo?

No. The effect only adds motion, light and atmosphere; everyone in the photo stays exactly as they appear in it. The default model doesn't filter photos. Some models you can switch to in Studio apply their own content filters and may turn a photo down.

Is my result private?

Yes. Your upload and the finished clip stay private to your account and never appear on a public page.

Each effect defaults to a five-second clip priced in US dollars on the Generate button. Before you run it, you can switch to a different model, adjust the length, or change the resolution in Studio, and the price on the Generate button updates to match. An ordinary failed or expired run normally releases the reserved amount. For a content refusal, follow the selected model’s billing policy.

Will this effect change how the person in my photo looks?

Your photo anchors the subject; the effect adds the motion and look described in its prompt. Check the face, hands and clothing in the result. If a gesture distorts them, try a clearer crop or a simpler movement.

Can I upload a photo of someone else?

Only one you have the right to use, and never to make intimate content of a real person without their documented consent. The content policy has the full rule.

What this effect sends

This is the full prompt, word for word. Copy it, or open it in the generator and change anything you like.

A set of horizontal window blinds hangs between the camera and the main subject. A hand parts two of the slats, and through the gap the subject peeks straight into the lens with a playful, knowing look, then lets the slats close with a smile. Thin stripes of light fall across the frame. The person stays exactly as they appear in the photo.

Pictures that work best

Faces near the center of the photo line up best with the gap in the slats.
Chest-up or close framing keeps the eyes large through the gap.
Moody or warm photos suit the striped light.
A direct gaze in the photo makes the peek feel aimed at the viewer.

How it works

01
Add one photo
Choose the photo to match the example: include both people for a shared gesture, and keep the face and any hands involved clearly visible. Upload your own photo or start with a Blinds Peek sample.
02
Check the price
Blinds Peek defaults to a 5-second clip for $0.185. Swap the model or change the length and resolution before you run — the price on the button updates to match, and that's the whole cost of the clip.
03
Generate
Your Blinds Peek clip renders in the background, lands in History and is never published.

Do the move yourself

Blinds Peek keeps one version of this shot. To give Blinds Peek your own motion or ending, write it yourself in Image to Video, starting from the prompt above.

What it does to your photo

Blinds Peek frames your subject through something. A set of horizontal window blinds hangs between the camera and your subject; a hand parts two of the slats, and through the gap they peek straight into the lens with a playful, knowing look, then let the slats close with a smile. Thin stripes of light fall across the frame.

In our test runs on MiniMax H3, a woman in a black turtleneck watched the blinds drop between her and the camera, parted two slats with her own fingers, smiled at the lens through the gap, and let them close again. In a second run, a man in a navy suit stepped up to the blinds, parted two slats with his own hand and grinned through the gap at the lens before letting them fall back.

Any photo with a clear face works, because the blinds are added in front of the lens. Faces near the middle of the frame line up best with the gap.

It runs on MiniMax H3 for five seconds by default, and H3 itself goes up to 15 seconds and 2K if you want more. Studio also lets you move the same prompt to another model before you generate, such as Seedance 2.0 or Wan 3.0, and the price on the Generate button updates with every change. Our samples were all made on MiniMax H3, so other models will read the prompt in their own way.

It suits a playful "I see you" teaser, a noir-flavored opener or a peek-style reveal in a story.

The prompt is public and editable. For a noir look, add "in black and white" at the start; to keep the gap open, delete "then lets the slats close with a smile".
