How to make your own Rumpelstiltskin video

From two photos to a posted meme in about five minutes.

  1. 1

    Pick your photos

    Slot one is the little man - the star of the tiptoe dance. Slot two is the maiden in the straw and is optional. Use clear, front-facing photos with even light: one person per photo, no sunglasses, no heavy hats, faces not cropped.

  2. 2

    Choose the cut

    The Tiptoe cut (10s) is the viral sequence exactly as people clip it. The Full tale (15s) keeps going: the straw turns to gold, the kiss, the prince reveal. Pick 9:16 for TikTok and Reels, 16:9 for everywhere else.

  3. 3

    Confirm rights and generate

    Tick the consent box - you must own the photos or have permission. Generation usually takes a few minutes; failed renders refund automatically.

  4. 4

    Download and post

    You get a silent, watermark-free MP4. Post it, tap "Add sound", pick Riff Raff's "Tip Toe Wing In My Jawwdinz" from the platform library, and switch on the AI-generated content label.
