Floss Dance
Upload one photo and MoveMyPhoto makes a 8-second video of that person doing the Floss to “Swish Swish (feat. Nicki Minaj)” by Katy Perry. Your face, outfit and background stay yours.
This dance moves the legs: a full-body photo looks best, and we draw the legs in if they’re missing.
The Floss is the arm-swing dance Russell Horning, the “Backpack Kid”, made famous on Saturday Night Live in 2017: straight arms swing from side to side around the hips. It became a Fortnite emote the same year.

Who invented the Floss dance?
Russell Horning, the “Backpack Kid”, made it famous with a viral 2016 video and his May 2017 SNL performance with Katy Perry. Earlier versions appeared online from 2010.
Why is it called the Floss?
Because the fast arm swings around the hips look like using a huge, invisible piece of dental floss.
Is MoveMyPhoto free?
Yes. You can make 1 video a day without signing up, and 3 a day after you sign in. Free videos have a MoveMyPhoto watermark. Failed or blocked videos don’t count.
What photo works best?
A clear, well-lit photo of one adult with the whole body in frame looks most like you. Selfies, half-body photos, stickers, drawings and even a scene with no one in it work too: we draw the missing body or a person into the scene first, which adds about a minute.
How long does a video take?
Usually about 10 minutes; it can take longer when many people are making videos. You don’t have to wait on the page: your video is saved in My videos.
