About Paws At You AI

What is Paws At You AI?

Paws At You AI is an online tool that turns one photo of your pet into a 5-second vertical AI video of it coming up to the camera and pawing at the lens, the move behind the *paws at you* meme. There is no prompt to write. The video is made by ByteDance Seedance 2.0.

How does Paws At You AI work?

Log in, upload one clear photo of your pet, pick 720p or 1080p and press Generate. ByteDance Seedance 2.0 animates your pet in a fixed scene: it comes up to the lens and paws at it. In 2 to 10 minutes the MP4 is ready to download from your account.

Do I need to write a prompt?

No. Upload one photo of your pet and pick the quality. The scene is built in, so there is nothing to type and no prompt to get right.

Which pets are supported?

Cats and dogs give the most reliable results. Rabbits, hamsters, ferrets, birds and other pets with a clear face usually work too. Use one pet per photo, ideally facing the camera, chest up with its front paws in view. Photos of people are not allowed.

Which AI model generates the video?

Every video is made by ByteDance Seedance 2.0, an image-to-video AI model. 720p and 1080p use the same model; only the output size differs.

Is Paws At You AI connected to the original meme?

No. Paws At You AI is an independent, fan-made tool. It is not affiliated with the creators or owners of the original *paws at you* images and does not use them; it makes a new video from your own pet photo.

Photos and videos

Which photos can I upload?

One photo of one pet, as a JPG, PNG or WebP file up to 10 MB and at least 320 pixels on each side. Your pet facing the camera, chest up with its front paws in view and in even light, gives the best result. Animals only, no people.

How long does video generation take?

Usually 2 to 10 minutes, depending on how busy the AI model is. You can leave the page; the video also shows up under My videos.

What exactly do I get?

A 5-second MP4 in vertical 9:16, without sound: 720 x 1280 pixels at 720p or 1080 x 1920 pixels at 1080p. It fills the screen on TikTok, Reels and Shorts. Videos stay downloadable for 7 days.

Will the video look like my actual pet?

Usually close, but not always exact: AI video can drift. The model works from your photo, so a sharp, well-lit photo where your pet's face and markings are easy to see gives the closest match. If a result looks off, try another photo.

Can I download the video without a watermark?

Yes. Every video downloads as a clean MP4 with no watermark, logo or text on it, at 720p and at 1080p.

Can I post it on TikTok, X or Discord?

Yes. Download the MP4 and attach it to your post, with your own *paws at you* line. Label it as AI-generated where the app asks.

Pricing, account and refunds

How much does one video cost?

A 720p video costs 59 credits ($5.90) and a 1080p video 89 credits ($8.90). Credits come in one-time packs from $8.90, never expire, and are only charged when your video is ready.

Can I use it for free?

There is no free trial. Making an account is free and you can watch unedited example videos before you buy, but making a video takes credits: 59 credits ($5.90) for 720p. A failed video never costs anything.

Do I need an account?

Yes, to make and download videos. Sign up with your email (you verify it once) or with Google. Watching the examples and reading the guides needs no account.

What happens if generation fails?

The held credits go straight back to your balance and you can try again. Failed, blocked or timed-out videos are never charged.

How do I cancel or request a refund?

There is nothing to cancel: credits are one-time packs, not a subscription. If you were charged twice, your credits never arrived or a fault on our side kept you from using them, request a refund within 30 days from Purchases in your account, or email hello@pawsatyouai.app. The Refund policy has the details.

Privacy and rights

Are my uploaded photos stored?

Only until your video is made. Your photo is deleted from our storage as soon as the video is ready, and within 48 hours if no video is made. Finished videos stay downloadable for 7 days, then they are deleted too. Nothing is shown publicly, and nothing is used to train AI models.

Can I use the generated video commercially?

Yes. You may use your videos for personal and commercial purposes, for example on a business or brand account or in an ad, as long as the photo is of your own pet or you have permission to use it. Label the video as AI-generated where a platform asks, and do not present it as real footage.
