Will the fog cover my subject?

No. The prompt keeps the subject clear and sharp; the fog stays low and in the background. In our street test it rose to about waist height.

Does it change the time of day?

Not really. The light turns softer and more silvery, but a golden-hour photo stays golden hour.

MiniMax H3 adds a soundtrack it generates on its own. The samples on this page are shown muted.

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.

How long is the Fog Roll clip, and can it be longer?

Fog Roll 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.

A low bank of fog rolls in along the ground and drifts slowly through the scene, softening the background into pale layers while the main subject stays clear and sharp. The light turns soft and silvery as the camera pushes gently forward.

Customize in the generator

Pictures that work best

Leave some ground in the frame: the fog rolls along the floor first.
Deep scenes with a distant background show the layered effect best.
Dusk and golden-hour photos turn silvery and cinematic; midday photos turn soft and pale.
Lit windows, street lamps and headlights glow beautifully through the fog.
Pair it with Lightning Storm for a darker, stormier mood.

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

What it does to your photo

Fog Roll brings in a low bank of fog that creeps along the ground and drifts through the scene. The background softens into pale layers, the light turns soft and silvery, and your subject stays clear and sharp in front of it all while the camera pushes gently forward. It is one of the simplest effects on this page and one of the most reliable.

On MiniMax H3 a vintage convertible parked on a desert road at golden hour watched a white wall of fog slide in along the horizon, swallow the distant mesas and spread across the sand, while the car and the road stayed crisp. A woman in a black coat and grey scarf on a Paris street at dusk got the fog from both sides: it poured along the cobblestones, rose to her waist and turned the lit shop windows behind her into soft glows.

Almost any photo looks good with it, because fog adds depth and hides clutter. Landscapes, roads, streets, forests, harbors and fashion portraits all work; the effect is especially good for music videos, book trailers, perfume and outerwear campaigns and any story that needs a little mystery.

The fog stays low and moves behind and around your subject rather than covering them. If you want a denser fog that fills the whole frame, customize the prompt and replace "A low bank of fog" with "Thick fog".
