Where does the zoom land?

On the main subject, usually the face or the center of an object. If your photo has several people, crop it to the one you want first.

Does the face change in the close-up?

The model redraws the detail it zooms into, so skin and hair can look a little smoother than in your photo. The prompt only moves the camera; it never asks for a different face.

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.

Can I zoom out instead?

Try Pull-Back Reveal, which starts close and pulls away, or Cosmic Zoom Out for a move that ends in space.

Per run, in US dollars, with the price shown on the Generate button for whichever model you pick. Failed runs are free of charge.

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.

How long is the Crash Zoom clip, and can it be longer?

Crash Zoom defaults to a 5-second clip. Before you run it in Studio, you can choose a longer length — the maximum depends on the model you pick — and the price on the button updates to match. You can also continue on the canvas from the clip's last frame.

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.

The shot holds wide for a beat, then the camera snaps into a sudden, punchy zoom straight toward the main subject, overshoots slightly and settles into a sharp, steady close-up. Everything else in the scene stays in place while the frame tightens.

Customize in the generator

Pictures that work best

Start from a wider photo with the subject near the center, so the zoom has room to travel.
Sharp, high-resolution photos give the close-up real detail instead of a soft guess.
Eyes make the strongest landing point. Pets and portraits work especially well.
For a calmer version of the same idea, try Slow Push-In on the same 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 Crash Zoom sample.
02
Check the price
Crash Zoom defaults to a 5-second clip for $0.484. 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 Crash Zoom clip renders in the background, lands in History and is never published.

Do the move yourself

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

What it does to your photo

Crash Zoom is the sudden, dramatic zoom you know from comedy beats, reaction shots and trailers. The frame sits wide for a moment, then the lens slams toward your subject, overshoots a touch and settles on a sharp close-up. Nothing else in the scene moves, so all of the energy comes from the camera.

It runs on Seedance 2.0 Fast by default because that model travels furthest toward the subject. In our test, a tabby cat sitting on a walnut stool held perfectly still for two seconds, then the frame rushed in until its green eyes and whiskers filled the screen. A full-length shot of a man in a camel suit in a concrete gallery did the same: three calm seconds, then a snap to a head-and-shoulders close-up.

The close-up is several times larger than your original crop, so the model draws the fine detail it lands on: fur, skin, the weave of a jacket. Faces stay recognisable but can look slightly smoother than in the photo, and a sharp, well-lit picture gives the zoom the most to work with.

Creators use it for reaction moments, pet clips and the punchline of a short. Brands use it to land on a product detail right after an establishing shot.
