Looking for instructions, not the tool itself? You are in the Getting Started guide. For a portrait that should speak or sing, open the Talking Photo step-by-step guide directly. These are Help Center articles, not buttons named “Getting Started” or “Which Magic Hour tool should I use?” on the Magic Hour homepage. The Tools directory opens tools; it is not the step-by-step guide directory. You can also open the Help Center and search for the tool name. Keep the guide open in a separate tab while using the tool.
Start with what you want to make
Open Which Magic Hour tool should I use? for a direct link to the tool that matches your image, video, or audio task.
Choose by your source and desired result
Text: Text to Video or AI Image Generator.
Image: Image to Video, Talking Photo, Clothes Changer, or Image Editor.
Video: Face Swap for faces, Lip Sync for mouth movement, Video to Video for restyling, or AI Video Editor for prompt-based edits.
Audio: Lip Sync, Talking Photo, Animation, or Audio to Video.
Choose a tool using both the source files you have and what you want the finished result to do. If you are unsure, tell support both. Only eligible simplified forms under /products and /tools with a displayed remaining daily allowance offer no-signup or no-credit generation. Tools under /create require sign-in and use credits; check the displayed estimate.

AI GIF Generator
The current AI GIF Generator creates a GIF from a text prompt. It does not accept an uploaded or reference image.
Open AI GIF Generator.
Enter a GIF idea in up to 500 characters.
Select Generate GIF.
Review the result with previous GIF generations.
Use Image to Video when an existing image must guide the visual result, then convert or edit the output as needed outside Magic Hour.
AI Headshot styles
Professional is selected by default. To change it, scroll through the visible style cards and select another style. The prompt changes to match the selected card and remains editable.
Current visible choices can include Professional, Leather Jacket, Editorial, Smart, Hoodie, Close Up, Nature, Vintage, Creative, Cafe, Beach, Moody, Black & White, Surfer, Campfire, Rooftop, and City Night. Availability can depend on the selected creation option. Faded choices are not available for the current selection.
If you switch back to One Shot, the style returns to Professional. One Shot requires a reference image.
Getting help
Use Magic Hour at https://magichour.ai in your web browser, including on mobile; no app installation is required for the website. This does not guarantee that every tool or control works identically on every device or mobile browser. If something is missing or not working, send support the exact tool route, device, browser, selected option, visible error and screenshot. For a project issue, include its link or visible ID. Support can investigate problems and explain the workflow, but cannot manually perform a generation or edit for you.
Completed, but the result is wrong?
