Birthday Video for Best Friend: Shots of the Two of You
A birthday video for best friend works when it shows the two of you, not a stock cake. Pick a template, upload one selfie of you and one of her, and get a scene where you share a stage, a beach or a road trip.

A generic card with roses reads like an obligation. A friend wants the inside joke, the place you both know, a frame with both faces. Below: which scenes take two faces, what to do with only her photo, why vertical suits stories, and how stars are counted.
Two separate selfies, one shared scene
Pop Star Duo puts two girlfriends on a big concert stage, Seaside Lace Duo places two girls on the seashore, and Cocktails Through the Screen builds a lifestyle shot from your reference photos. Each person needs a separate picture where the face is large and turned to the camera. For three of you, Desert Road Trip Trio and Lavender Field Road Trip seat three friends in one frame.
Only her photo on your phone
Solo scenes need a single picture. BIRTHDAY GIRL is a studio portrait with a silver tiara and an air kiss, Champagne Fountain Birthday seats her on a park bench at night. For motion, Birthday Cake Car Surprise shows her pulling up in a car and blowing out candles from the window, and Royal Birthday adds a golden crown and sparkles.
Vertical frames for her story
A birthday greeting between friends usually lands in stories, where a 9:16 frame fills the whole screen. Every photo scene in this grid is already vertical, so nothing needs cropping. Some video scenes, such as the car and crown clips, come out wide, which suits a group chat or a laptop screen better than a story.
What each scene costs in stars
Runs are counted in stars, and the exact number appears on every template before you press the button. Video scenes usually ask for more than a still. Verifying the signup address gives a newcomer 5 stars, enough to test one duo scene. Extra stars come from Pricing, by subscription or as a standalone bundle.

FAQ
How many photos do I need for a shot of us together?
One per person in the scene: two portraits for a duo, three for a trio. Upload them as separate files. A collage with both faces in one picture confuses the model and the faces may come out wrong.
Can I turn the still into a birthday video for a friend?
Yes. Run the finished picture through Create video and describe the motion you want, or start with a video template such as Birthday Cake Car Surprise. Clips need a few minutes to render, and a crowded evening can stretch the wait.
Can I use her photo without telling her?
Use pictures of yourself and of friends who are fine with it. For a surprise, a quick question about a favorite selfie is usually enough. Photos of celebrities or strangers are not allowed.
What should the greeting say so it does not sound generic?
Pick one real detail from your friendship: a trip, a nickname, a line you both repeat. A short joke only the two of you get feels warmer than general wishes for health and happiness.
