ZOMBIE AI

Zombie AI, in one place

'Zombie AI' is used for several different tools. Here is what the term covers, which kind this site is, and where to start.

Four things people call zombie AI

Same label, very different tools. This table shows who each kind is for.

OUR KIND

We are only the first kind

Not a character lab, not a game-asset shop, not a general video model. We make one 15-second vertical film from two photos, with the story fixed for you.

The four kinds, in detail

Photo-to-video story

A photo-to-video story tool takes two portraits and renders one short film around a written scene. The people are real, the story is invented. Because the script is fixed, the tool can keep the frame small: the same four beats, the same camera language, the same length, every time. That is a trade. You give up control over the plot and get a result that is hard to make look bad.

Character & avatar tools

Avatar and character tools build a digital person once, then reuse it across many scenes. The output is a library, not a single clip. They are the right choice if you want a recurring cast for a series, and the wrong choice if you have two photos and want one finished video today. Most of them also expect a text description of the character rather than a photograph.

Game & asset generators

Game asset generators produce sprites, textures, level tiles, enemy behaviour and NPC dialogue. The zombie is a gameplay material, not a narrative subject. These tools are for people building something interactive. If you arrived with two photos of yourself and a friend, nothing in this category applies to you.

General video models

A general video model with a zombie preset is the most flexible and the least forgiving option. You get a text box and a model that will attempt whatever you describe. That means full control over framing, lighting and action, and also full responsibility for the result. Most reported zombie-video failures, from warped faces to inconsistent character appearance, come from this category.

Which kind fits your situation

Most people arrive with one of five situations. Here is where each one lands.

You have two photos of two people and want one finished clip.A photo-to-video story tool. This is what we make.
You want the same character across many videos.An avatar tool, so the character is built once and reused.
You need assets for a game you are building.A game asset generator; narrative video tools will not help.
You have a specific shot in mind and will iterate on prompts.A general video model with the zombie preset.
You only want to see what the trend looks like before committing.Watch the short clips on social platforms first; a storyboard or a poster is not a sample.

What we do not do

Being clear about the limits is part of the product, so here they are in advance.

  • —No character library. Each video is a one-off made from the two photos you pick for it.
  • —No prompt box and no model picker in the first release. The story and the model are fixed.
  • —No children, no public figures, and no photos of other people without their consent.
  • —No claim of a finished sample until a real render at the target specification exists.
  • —No automatic publishing. You download the MP4 and decide where it goes.

Photo prerequisites

The photos decide more of the result than any setting. Four things matter, and all four are free to check before you spend a credit.

One person per photo
Crop to a single face. A group shot makes it ambiguous which person should appear in the film.
The face fills a third of the frame
Small faces give the model too little to work with, and that is where the drift starts.
Even, front-facing light
Hard shadows and side profiles are the two most common causes of a face that stops matching halfway through.
No heavy filters or sunglasses
Anything covering the eyes removes the cues a viewer uses to recognise the person.

What to check before you pay any zombie AI tool

The category has a pattern: a landing page promises a video, and the terms are vague. Five questions separate a tool that works from a page that collects a payment.

  1. Is there a real sample at the advertised specification?

    Ask for a clip at the exact length, resolution and aspect ratio being sold. An animated poster, a storyboard or a thumbnail is not a sample.

  2. What happens to your photos after upload?

    Look for a named storage provider, a named processing provider, and a deletion path you can actually use. “We respect your privacy” is not an answer.

  3. Is the price one-time or recurring?

    Some tools sell a credit pack that never expires, others renew monthly. The difference matters more than the headline number.

  4. What happens when the render fails?

    Credits should return automatically on a provider error. Ask whether that is automatic or a support ticket, and whether a card refund is even possible.

  5. Does the page admit its launch status?

    A page that sells an unverified pipeline without saying so is the main risk in this niche right now. Read the small print before the hero copy.

Judging whether it still looks like them

Do not judge likeness from the zombie shots. Grey skin and clouded eyes remove the colour cues a face is recognised by, so a take that looks wrong mid-film can still be right at the ending. Watch the warm memory beat last: that is where a result that does not match the original photos shows itself, and it is the frame to check before you keep a render.

What a clip really costs

Listed price is per render, not per clip you would post. If a tool needs two or three attempts before the face holds, the honest number is the price multiplied by the attempts that failed. Ask for the re-roll rule in writing: whether a failed attempt is refunded, charged, or silently retried, and put that against the candidate price before comparing two tools at all.

Where this site stands today

Generation and checkout are open: pick a template, upload two photos and render. A failed render returns its credits automatically.

Quick questions

Is zombie AI the same as making a zombie video?
No. The label covers four different tools. Ours is the photo-to-video story kind: two real photos, one invented 15-second film.
Do I need to write a prompt?
No. The story is fixed for the first release; only the two people are yours. There is no prompt box and no model picker.
Can I post it to social media?
Yes, once you download the MP4. Label it as AI-generated fiction and make sure both people in it know you are sharing it.
