Finger frame trend: you change inside the window
The finger frame trend is a transition clip: a tilted frame glides across the shot, and inside its window you turn anime, stone statue or cartoon. Here, five ready versions build it from one photo.

What makes the effect land is the window itself. As the frame turns, the stylized face has to follow its angle frame by frame, or the seam shows. The templates handle that tracking, so your part is a clear photo and a choice of look.
Five looks inside the frame
Statue, Anime and Rapper Finger Frame each reveal a stylized version of you, with motion and window edges kept tight. Cartoon Finger Frame shows you as a character from a yellow animated sitcom, and Ladybug Finger Frame makes you a 3D cartoon superhero in a ladybug suit. Your own features carry through all of them.
How the frame transition works
Picture three layers. At the bottom is you as you are, above it a stylized portrait of the same face, and on top a frame that drifts and tilts. The window acts as a cutout: while it passes over you, the stylized layer shows through, and outside it the ordinary shot stays. Because the cutout tilts with the frame, the change looks seamless.
What to upload
One photo is enough, with no video or second shot. Face the camera and keep the face clear of hands, glasses and hair, since the window passes right over it. The five finger frame versions come out wide, in 16:9, so pick a portrait where your head is not pressed against the edge of the picture.
Vertical versions and the statue frame trend
Three more cards come out 9:16 for a phone feed. Ancient Statue Frame shows your ancient statue look through a finger frame, with music. In Anime Transformation your fingers shape the frame, your anime self appears, and by the end the whole shot turns anime. Reality Meets Manga is a 10-second clip where your fingertips open a gap into a black-and-white manga world.
Limits worth knowing
Each run is generated anew, so two runs with one photo can differ; run again if the window lands awkwardly. A group photo puts everyone under the window, so use a solo portrait. Videos need several minutes, and waits grow at peak times. Celebrities and people who never agreed are off the menu; upload only your own portrait or one a friend has okayed.

FAQ
Can one photo go through all five versions?
Yes. Every finger frame card takes the same single photo, and only the style layer differs, so you can run your picture as stone and then as anime and compare. Each version is its own run with its own star cost.
Will it work with a child's photo?
Cartoon Finger Frame and Ladybug Finger Frame suit kids best. Use only your own children, with the face turned to the camera and clearly visible. Pick a solo portrait, because the window catches everyone it passes over.
Why are most versions horizontal?
The frame needs room to enter and leave the shot, and a wide 16:9 picture gives it that. In a narrow frame the pass would be over too fast to read. For a vertical feed, use Ancient Statue Frame, Anime Transformation or Reality Meets Manga.
How do I pay for a finger frame video?
With stars. After you verify your email the account holds 5 to start, and each card names its star price up front. On any day a few templates labeled Free today cost nothing for a capped number of runs. Plans and packs for more are on the Pricing page.
