The prompt says one of them. Add a short description to pick, such as the person on the left.

A single bright pop of light at the moment they laugh. You can soften or remove it in the prompt.

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.

Within the first second one of them turns and plants a quick, playful kiss on the other's cheek. The other's eyes go wide in surprise, then they break into a delighted laugh and turn toward them, faces close together. A bright flash pops once as they laugh. The camera stays in a tight chest-up two-shot the whole time and holds on both laughing faces. Both people stay exactly as they appear in the photo.

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 Cheek Kiss sample.
02
Check the price
Cheek Kiss 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 Cheek Kiss clip renders in the background, lands in History and is never published.

Do the move yourself

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

What it does to your photo

Within the first second one of them turns and plants a quick, playful kiss on the other's cheek. The other's eyes go wide in surprise, then they break into a delighted laugh and turn toward them, faces close together. A bright flash pops once as they laugh. The camera stays in a tight chest-up two-shot the whole time and holds on both laughing faces. Both people stay exactly as they appear in your photo throughout.

In our test runs on MiniMax H3, in a photo booth with a red velvet curtain, a man in a denim shirt planted a quick kiss on the cheek of a long-haired woman in a yellow cardigan within the first second; her eyes went wide in surprise, and by second three they turned to each other laughing and ended grinning at the lens. In a second run, in a city-view living room at dusk, a woman in a cream suit leaned in and kissed the cheek of a red-haired woman in a green satin dress within the first second, the redhead lit up in delighted surprise, and by second three they turned to each other laughing, faces close together.

Needs both faces visible, close together, and chest-up framing works best. Side-by-side poses with one cheek facing the other person are ideal. Photos where the two stand far apart or one face is hidden make the kiss hard to place. Friends, siblings and couples all suit the playful tone. The effect leaves both people exactly as they are in your photo and only adds the motion.

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.

Good for couple and friend portraits, birthday and anniversary posts, and light-hearted clips.

Open the prompt in the generator and change "a quick, playful kiss" to "a soft, gentle kiss" for a calmer moment, or "A bright flash pops once" to "A soft glow pulses once" for a gentler light.
