A birthday video they’ll actually replay
Skip the generic e-card. Star in a cinematic birthday reel — belt the birthday chorus on a confetti stage, host a roast panel of yourself, or send a message from future-you — and share it in minutes, no filming or editing.

E-cards feel like nothing
A templated card with a stock cake lands with a shrug. It says "I remembered" — not "I made you something". The gesture is the gift, and generic gestures don’t count.
Editing a real video takes all day
Filming yourself, retakes, music rights, cutting it together — a genuinely good birthday video is a day of work most people don’t have the tools or time for.
Group videos are herding cats
Chasing ten people for clips, mismatched framing, someone films in landscape… coordinating a group tribute usually dies in the group chat.
Four steps. A few minutes. You’re in.
Scan once
One guided selfie scan creates your locked DittoAvatar. Approve it and it’s reused for every future creation.
Pick the format
A singing stage moment, a comedy roast panel, a magazine-cover tribute or a heartfelt fireside message — or describe your own idea.
Make it theirs
Add the name, the inside joke, the message. Ditto turns it into a shot plan and renders a cinematic clip with a music bed.
Send it
Every creation gets its own share page that unfurls beautifully in WhatsApp, iMessage and group chats. Or download and post it.
Why this works on DittoPix
✦ You’re the gift
The video stars your real, verified likeness — singing, toasting or roasting. Far more personal than any template card.
✦ Formats that land
Singing stage spectacle, roast panel, future-you message, cover-star tribute — comedy or heartfelt, your call.
✦ Music bed included
Each template carries a suggested music mood — feel-good chorus, comedy bed, warm emotional strings — baked into the render.
✦ Minutes, not hours
From idea to finished clip typically takes a few minutes. No camera, no editor, no music-licensing rabbit hole.
✦ A share page for every creation
Each render gets a playable link that previews in chat apps — perfect for dropping straight into the birthday group chat.
✦ Honest pay-as-you-go pricing
Start free with 70 credits. Reels start from around 35 credits and always show the exact cost up front. No subscription.
Pick a scene. You’re already in it.
Common questions
Can I put the birthday person’s face in the video?
No. DittoPix only animates a face that its owner has scanned and approved on their own account — or a fully synthetic cast member. You can never generate a real person who hasn't consented. The magic move: you star in the video as the sender — or the birthday person signs up (it’s free) and stars in their own.
How long does it take to make?
A few minutes end to end. Pick a format, personalise the message, and the reel renders in roughly 2–5 minutes depending on length.
Is it free?
Yes. You get 70 free credits when you sign up, plus 5 free credits every day once your email is verified. No card needed. If you want more, pay-as-you-go top-ups start at £4.99 and credits stay valid for 6 months — there is no subscription.
What exactly do credits buy?
An image costs 3 credits and cinematic reels start from around 35 credits — you always see the exact cost before anything is spent, and failed renders are refunded automatically.
Is there an age limit?
Yes — DittoPix is a trading name of SVK Consultants Ltd, a UK company registered in England & Wales. The product is for adults — you must be 18 or over to use it.
