Free Happy New Year Video Maker: Your Photo Raises a Glass and Says Their Name
Pick a photo of you and your people, type who it is for, and at midnight they get your own faces raising a glass under the fireworks and saying their name.
What the Happy New Year video maker makes from one still photo
Two of these started as a single still photo on this page; the cartoon was posted on X last New Year's Eve. Pick any of them as a template in the generator above, and only your photo and the name change.
Twelve grapes, twelve wishes, one name
What this Happy New Year video maker gives you
This Happy New Year video maker turns one photo and the name you type into a clip where the people in your photo celebrate midnight and wish that person a Happy New Year by name, with fireworks and voices. A free account makes 4-second clips on MiniMax H3 with no daily cap; a plan opens clips up to 15 seconds in a sharper picture. Nothing is stamped on the download. Any other day, try talking photo AI.

Your photo and a name in, a midnight toast out
A selfie, a couple photo, a family photo or a photo of your street goes in; a New Year wish they can play again and again comes out.
The best Happy New Year video maker for a wish that is personal
Stock fireworks and a Canva template say Happy New Year to everyone. A clip where your own faces raise a glass and say one person's name belongs to that person alone. That is why this is the best Happy New Year video maker for the people you actually miss at midnight.
The countdown, in a voice
Start from a photo that marks the moment, and a voice counts "three, two, one" into the fireworks and finishes with their name.
Made between the toast and the first message
No editing app, no stitching clips together, no searching for a song. Choose a photo, type a name and press Generate while the party is still going.
Who to send a Happy New Year video to this year
The photo decides who is in the clip, the name decides who it is for.
Grandma and Grandpa, far away
Hold up the instant photo from Christmas and the two of you inside it come to life, lift your glasses and say "Happy New Year, Grandma! We love you!" They will play it at breakfast more than once.
The whole family chat
Start from a night photo of your street or your city and the fireworks rise from every rooftop while a voice calls the name of the chat. One clip, sent once, seen by everyone.
Your partner, if you are apart at midnight
A couple photo is enough: you raise your glasses and say their name together, so the first thing they see in the new year is the two of you.
Friends in other time zones
Make one clip per friend with each name typed in, and send each when their midnight arrives. A free account has no daily cap, so every friend gets their own.
How to make a Happy New Year video in four steps
One photo, one name and one press of Generate. The clip comes back on this page.
Choose your photo
A selfie, a couple photo by the tree, the whole family on the sofa or a night view of your street. An upright phone photo works best, with faces clearly in view.
Type who it is for
A first name, Mom, Grandpa or the name of the group chat. Write it the way it sounds; the people in your photo say exactly what you type, inside their toast.
Pick the moment
The champagne toast, the twelve grapes, the countdown or a look up at the first firework. Choose a template, or change the words in quotes to any wish you like.
Send it at midnight
Download the MP4 with its sound and send it to WhatsApp, Messages or your Story the minute the year turns. Then make the next one for the next name.
Why a Happy New Year video with their name beats a forwarded one
On New Year's Eve everyone gets the same fireworks clip forwarded five times. A wish with their name in it, from your own faces, is the one they answer.
Nobody else can send it
The faces, the room and the voices belong to your photo, so the clip could only have come from you.
Their name, said right
Spell it the way it sounds and it is said the way you say it at home, inside the toast, not read out by a robot afterwards.
One for every name on your list
A free account has no daily cap, so parents, cousins, old friends and the neighbours each get their own clip with their own name.
Ready before the clock strikes
Every clip downloads as an MP4 with its sound and nothing stamped on the picture, ready for the family chat, a Story or the TV at the party.

Happy New Year video maker: questions
Yes. This Happy New Year video maker makes 4-second 480p clips with sound on MiniMax H3 for free. Your very first clip runs without an account; after that, a free account keeps going.
On a free account, yes: there is no daily cap on free MiniMax H3 clips. Make one for every name on your list; on a plan every clip starts right away.
Yes, that is how every clip here starts. Upload a selfie, a couple photo, a family photo or a night view of your street, and it becomes the first frame. The people in it are the ones who raise the glass.
Yes. Type the name in the "Who is it for?" field and it goes inside the toast, so it is said out loud with the lips on the word. Spell it the way it sounds.
Yes. Every clip comes with its own sound: the voices saying the wish, the clink of glasses, cheering and fireworks. You can name a song style in the prompt, like a slow piano or a party beat.
A free clip is 4 seconds: the glasses go up and the wish with the name is said. On a plan a clip runs up to 15 seconds, long enough for the countdown, the toast and a second line.
Yes. Add the year to the prompt, for example fireworks spelling 2027 across the sky, and keep the spoken wish in quotes so the name is said along with it.
Yes. Use the countdown template: a voice counts three, two, one into the fireworks and finishes with the name. On a plan the clip is long enough for a ten-second count.
Yes. Every clip downloads as an upright MP4 with its sound and nothing stamped on the picture, the shape WhatsApp, Messages, Instagram Stories and TikTok expect.
No. The Happy New Year video maker runs in the browser on your phone or laptop. Upload the photo here and the fireworks, the toast and the voices are made in the same run.
Yes, on a paid plan. Commercial use, like New Year greetings for your customers or clips you make for clients, comes with a plan; free clips are for your own family and friends.
Make your Happy New Year video before midnight
Pick the photo, type the first name on your list and press Generate. It downloads as an upright MP4 with its sound and nothing stamped on the picture, so they have a toast with their name in it before the countdown starts.
