How to Make a Hotline Bling AI Video

To make a Drake Hotline Bling AI video you need one photo, or two if you want a second dancer, and a few minutes. Upload the photos to the generator, pick a length, and you get an MP4 in both landscape 16:9 (720p) and vertical 9:16 with the trend’s Hotline Bling soundtrack, ready to download or share to TikTok.

How to Make the Hotline Bling AI Trend in 3 Steps

1. Sign in and add your photos. Sign in with your Google account. Photo 1 plays the main dancer, who does the wide dance shots and the phone-gesture close-ups. Photo 2 is optional and plays the second dancer, who crouches, leans on the wall and poses. Leave photo 2 empty and the person in photo 1 plays both parts. JPG, PNG, WebP and HEIC (iPhone) photos up to 10 MB each work, and on a computer you can scan a QR code to upload straight from your phone.
2. Pick a length. 6 seconds (6 credits) is the opening wide dance, the first close-up and the second dancer’s crouch. 10 seconds (13 credits) adds the second close-up with the phone-call gesture and the wall lean. 15 seconds (20 credits) is the full routine: 8 shots, 4 colored rooms for each dancer, ending on the phone-gesture close-up.
3. Make it, then download or share. Tick the permission box and press the button. The video is usually ready in a few minutes and is saved in your account history, with download buttons for the landscape and vertical versions and a share-to-TikTok button.

One or Two Photos: You, a Friend, a Partner or a Pet

• You, twice. One photo and you play both dancers.
• You and your partner. The couple version is one of the most popular takes.
• You and your best friend, or two friends who both said yes.
• Your pet. A dog or cat stays a real animal and dances standing on its hind legs. Pair it with your own photo for a human-and-pet duo.

For a duo, use two separate photos with one person or pet in each. The two characters appear in alternating shots, so you don’t need a photo of both of you together.

Everyone in a photo has to be you or someone who agreed to it, and adults (18+) for people. Photos of celebrities or public figures aren’t accepted, and the AI service may turn down famous faces (if it does, your credits come back automatically).

Photo Tips for a Better Likeness

• Natural light on the face. Dark or backlit photos give the model less detail to work with.
• Face clearly visible. The model needs to see the face to keep the likeness.
• Show your outfit. Each dancer keeps the clothes from their own photo, so wear what you want to be seen in. Full body helps.
• One person or pet per photo. Group shots make it unclear who should take each part.
• No heavy filters. Beauty filters and stickers confuse the face match.

Other Ways People Make It

Some creators build the video by hand with a general AI video model: they recreate each colored room shot by shot, write a prompt for every cut, keep the faces consistent across shots, then edit the clips together and add the sound themselves. It works, but it takes several tools and a lot of retries. Here the shots, the room colors, the cuts and the soundtrack are already set up, so all you add is your photos.

How to Post Your Hotline Bling AI Video

• Download the vertical 9:16 version (720×1280) for TikTok, Reels or Shorts, or the landscape 16:9 version (720p) for YouTube or a TV-shaped screen. Both have the trend’s soundtrack and no watermark.
• Use the share-to-TikTok button (it posts the vertical version), or download the MP4 and post it anywhere.
• Hashtags people use for the trend: #hotlinebling #drake #aitrend #aivideo.
• Say it’s AI-generated when you post it.

The video is yours to use on your own accounts, including commercially, as allowed by our Terms of Service.

FAQ

How long does it take? Usually a few minutes. You can leave the page; the video will be waiting in your account.

What if a shot fails? A failed shot is retried once for free automatically. If the render fails before any part is made, your credits come back automatically. If it stops partway, the credits stay on it and support finishes the video for you by email at support@hotlineblingai.com.

Will I look like Drake? No. You keep your own face and the clothes from your photo. The rooms, the cuts and the dance come from the trend.

Does the video have a watermark? No. You get clean MP4s in landscape 16:9 (720p) and vertical 9:16.
