Gangnam Style Dance
Upload one photo and MoveMyPhoto makes a 9-second video of that person doing the Gangnam Style dance to “Gangnam Style” by PSY. 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 Gangnam Style dance is PSY’s 2012 “horse-riding” dance: wrists crossed as if holding reins, a galloping hop and an invisible lasso overhead. Its video was the first on YouTube to reach a billion views.

What is the Gangnam Style dance called?
The horse-riding dance, or horse dance. PSY tried panda and kangaroo moves before settling on an invisible-horse trot.
What does Gangnam Style mean?
It is Korean slang for the flashy lifestyle linked with Gangnam, a wealthy district of Seoul. PSY meant it as a joke about people who pose as Gangnam types.
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.
