Front-facing, well-lit selfies work best. One face per photo — they don’t need to be taken together.

Classic Barn
You tiptoe-dance across a straw-covered barn as the fairy-tale imp while your partner watches from the spinning wheel and the straw turns to gold.
Sample made with fictional AI-generated people, not the viral clip. A 12-second wordless scene with playful music: nothing to type, just add two adult photos.
By pressing “Make my tiptoe video” you confirm you are 18 or older, you have permission from everyone in the photos, and you agree to the Terms and Acceptable Use Policy.

At a glance
- Photo 1 is the dancer (the imp), photo 2 is the person watching. Both must be adults who agreed to appear.
- Pick Classic Barn for the original feel, Pumpkin Patch for Halloween, or Royal Ballroom for a fairy-tale ending.
- The video is 12 seconds, vertical 9:16, with playful music and no singing.
- Add the trending sound inside TikTok, Reels or CapCut when you post, from their licensed music library.
1. Choose who dances
The tiptoe dancer is the star, so pick the friend who will find it funniest. Use a front-facing, well-lit photo with one face and no sunglasses. The second photo is the person who watches from the spinning wheel; it does not have to be taken at the same time or place.
2. Pick a scene
Classic Barn is closest to the viral look: straw, a spinning wheel and warm old-film light. Pumpkin Patch moves the dance to a misty field of glowing lanterns for October. Royal Ballroom ends with a deep bow under falling golden sparkles.
3. Render and download
Press the button and the video renders in about four minutes. If a render fails or times out, the credits go back to your balance automatically. Download the MP4 from the result screen or from My videos.
4. Add the sound and post
The viral clips are paired with a hip-hop track that WakeStill does not include. Open TikTok, Instagram Reels or CapCut, search the trending tiptoe sound in their music library and add it to your clip. Keep an AI-generated label when you post.

How to make the AI Rumpelstiltskin video FAQ
Do I need an app?
No. WakeStill runs in any phone or desktop browser.
Can I put a celebrity or streamer in it?
No. Many viral versions swap in famous people, but WakeStill only accepts photos of adults who agreed to appear. Celebrity and public-figure photos are rejected.
Why is there no original song?
The song belongs to its rights holders. The video comes with light fairy-tale music so you can add the licensed trending sound inside TikTok or Reels.
Can I make a solo version?
Not yet. Every scene uses two photos: the dancer and the watcher. A solo mode is planned.
