# Skull Cap AI

> Skull Cap AI turns one photo of yourself (or of your dog or cat) into the viral skull cap trend video ("how dudes act 0.01 seconds after putting on a skull cap"): an awkward selfie in a bright room pulling a black knit skull cap down over your head, then a hard cut to the same room in the dark, black hoodie up over the cap, glasses off, cold stare into the lens. It follows the original clip's moves, camera and cut. The video comes with the trend sound ("original sound - SoulReligion", Bryson Tiller's verse from "Wild Thoughts") lined up with the cut; switch it off before downloading to post with TikTok's own sound instead. No filming, no editing, no prompt, no watermark.

## How it works

1. Pick a template and upload a photo with the face clearly visible: yourself for the person version (the homepage), or your dog, cat or other pet for the pet version (a young man holds your pet, and both wear skull caps after the cut).
2. Pick a tier (Budget, Balanced or Premium) and a quality (480p, 720p or 1080p); every video is the whole 10 s clip. Photos are reviewed, then the video renders in a few minutes.
3. Download the MP4, which comes with the trend sound (switch it off for a silent file), and post it to TikTok, Instagram Reels or YouTube Shorts. Failed renders refund their credits or payment automatically.
