Can I upload a video instead of a photo?

Not on this page. The vanish effect here starts from one photo; the clip is generated, not edited. To remove a person from an existing clip, use the object removal page.

How much does a vanish effect AI video cost?

63 credits for 5 seconds at 480P, about $0.62 on the $9.90 first pack; 125 and 188 credits for 10 and 15 seconds. The price is shown before you generate, and a failed job returns its credits.

Does the background really stay still?

The photo is the first frame, so the scene starts exactly as photographed; the model then animates the figure. Small drift in the background can happen on busy scenes, which is why a simple wall or floor works best.

MiniMax H3 Max adds native ambient sound. There is no music; add it in your editing app.

About Vanish effect AI on Cicadas

The vanish effect is the clip where someone stands still, then breaks into drifting particles or fades out while the room behind them stays exactly as it was. This page makes it from one photo: the photo is the first frame, and MiniMax H3 Max animates the dissolve over 5, 10 or 15 seconds. It does not process an existing video, and it does not mask or track anything by hand.

Particles: the figure dissolves upward, the street stays.

MiniMax H3 Max image to video, 5 seconds at 480P, from one 3:4 photo of a man on a shopping street; back in under a minute. From about the second second his body breaks into warm glowing particles that drift up and fade; by the fourth second only the street remains, with the shops, pavement and passers-by as in the photo. Sound removed for this page.

Fade: the figure turns transparent, the street stays sharp.

Same photo, same settings. The man fades to fully transparent over the clip while the street behind him stays sharp and unchanged; the shop fronts and the pavement show through where he stood. Sound removed for this page.

Why use Cicadas for Vanish effect AI

One photo, one dissolve

Use a photo of one person standing apart from the background, with even light. The photo is the first frame, so the room, the floor and the light stay as photographed while the figure breaks up.

Particles, fade or empty outfit

Three prompt variants: the body scatters into glowing particles, the figure fades to transparent, or the person disappears and the clothes drop to the floor. Each is a single continuous shot with no cuts.

See the price first

At 480P, 5 seconds is 63 credits, 10 seconds is 125 and 15 seconds is 188; at 768P they are 100, 200 and 300. About $0.62 for 5 seconds on the $9.90 first pack. A failed generation returns its credits.

Your own photo only

Upload only a photo of yourself or someone who agreed. The clip keeps the face from the photo; nothing is replaced or added.

How to use Vanish effect AI

01
Sign in and add one photo of one person standing against a simple background.
02
Pick a prompt (particles, fade or empty outfit), the length and 480P or 768P.
03
Check the quote, generate, and download the MP4 from My videos.

Which photo works

Full body or seated, the whole figure inside the frame, good contrast between the person and the floor or wall. A vertical photo makes a vertical 9:16 clip for TikTok, Reels and Shorts. Busy backgrounds make the dissolve harder to read.

What this page cannot do

It cannot take your existing video and remove you from it frame by frame; for that, the object removal page handles short clips. It also cannot guarantee the exact particle look of any other app's template.

Vanish effect AI prompt ideas

Copy one into the prompt box above and adapt it to your shot. Or write your own shot by shot in the prompt generator.

“The person in the photo stands still, then their body gradually breaks apart into thousands of small glowing particles that drift upward and fade, while the background, floor and lighting stay exactly as in the photo. One continuous shot, fixed camera, no cuts, no text.”
“The person in the photo slowly fades to fully transparent over the clip while the room behind them stays unchanged and sharp. Fixed camera, one continuous shot, no other people, no text.”
“The person in the photo vanishes and their clothes collapse and drop to the floor in a heap, while the background stays exactly as in the photo. Fixed camera, one continuous shot, no text.”
