Does my photo need a fan in it?

No. The effect adds the lace fan; your photo just needs a spare hand and a face toward the camera.

Does it work on men as well?

Yes. In our test runs it worked on both a woman and a man; the gesture reads as playful either way.

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.

The main subject opens a black lace folding fan in front of the lower half of their face, looks over its edge into the lens with slow, teasing eyes, then lowers the fan to reveal a knowing smile and holds the look. Warm, low light; the camera eases in. The person stays exactly as they appear in the photo.

Pictures that work best

Close or chest-up portraits keep the fan and the eyes in shot together.
A spare hand helps; the fan needs a hand to appear in.
Evening, vintage or dark photos match the mood.
Faces toward the camera make the look over the fan land.

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

Do the move yourself

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

What it does to your photo

Lace Fan brings a little old-world flirtation. Your subject opens a black lace folding fan in front of the lower half of their face, looks over its edge into the lens with slow, teasing eyes, then lowers the fan to reveal a knowing smile and holds the look, in warm, low light while the camera eases in.

In our test runs on MiniMax H3, a red-haired woman in an off-the-shoulder knit opened a black lace fan that the prompt added, hid the lower half of her face and watched the lens over its edge, then lowered it into a knowing smile at second four. In a second run, a man in a cream shirt fanned the lace in front of his mouth with his eyes on the lens, then dropped it to show a broad smile.

Close and chest-up portraits work best, because the fan and the eyes share the frame. Evening outfits and vintage looks suit it, but the fan is added by the effect, so any face toward the camera works.

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 vintage or burlesque-styled intro, a coy end card or a dramatic beat in a costume set.

The prompt is public and editable. For a different fan, change "black lace" to "red silk"; for a quicker reveal, delete "with slow, teasing eyes".
