GUIDE

Start with a clear idea and a clear portrait.

Bad Times AI turns a permitted portrait into a new short video. A simple, well-lit image gives the generation a more reliable starting point.

Choose a clear portrait

Use one clear subject facing the camera in even light. JPG, PNG, and WebP files are supported up to 30 MB. Avoid group photos, heavy filters, and obstructed faces.

Plan for variation

Each result is generated from your request, so visual details, motion, timing, and audio may vary. Review every video before sharing it.

Make something new

Bad Times AI creates an original result from your submitted material. It is not intended to reproduce another video, recording, or performer.

Use material responsibly

Confirm that you are at least 18 and have permission to use the subject’s likeness. Do not submit public figures or anyone you are not authorised to portray. Baby images must be family-safe and submitted only by an authorised adult.
