Turn your photo into the Ramalama costume walk

How to make a Ramalama AI video

1. Choose People (1–3) or Pets (1–2) and upload one photo for each: JPG, PNG, WebP or HEIC. A full-body photo with the face and shoes (or the whole animal) visible works best; from a selfie, the AI draws the rest.
2. Pick the costumes: keep the outfit in your photo, choose a witch, vampire, skeleton, zombie, ghost bride, devil, pumpkin or black cat, describe any costume in a few words, or upload a picture of one. With friends, dress everyone the same, or tap a photo and give that person their own costume.
3. Pick where you walk: a foggy cobblestone street (the default), a haunted porch, a pumpkin patch, a graveyard, a dark forest, a trick-or-treat street, a Halloween party or a rainy neon street. Everyone walks in the same place.
4. Pick 480p ($5.99) or 720p ($9.99) and press the button. No sign-up: you pay once with Stripe, by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay, and the video starts right after.
5. Wait about 4 to 5 minutes while we dress everyone in their costume and film the walk, move for move like the trend clip. Then download the MP4 and add the “Ramalama (Bang Bang)” sound in TikTok, Reels or Shorts when you post.

What is the Ramalama trend?

It is a TikTok Halloween format set to Róisín Murphy's “Ramalama (Bang Bang)”, a 2005 song from her album Ruby Blue. The camera sits low on someone's shoes as they walk toward it, then tilts up on the beat to reveal the whole costume. Walking versions started in summer 2025, the costume reveals took over at Halloween 2025, and the format is back for October 2026: a tracker counted about 430,700 TikTok videos with the sound in early October.

Most people film it with a friend holding the phone at ankle height. Ramalama AI makes the same shot from a photo: no costume to buy, nobody to hold the camera, no retakes. More in what is the Ramalama trend.

What you get

• A 12–15 second MP4 in 9:16, the same length as the trend clip it follows, ready for TikTok, Reels and Shorts, at 480p or 720p.
• The trend's own dance and camera, move for move: each video follows a Ramalama clip, so you get the same low shot on the feet walking toward the camera, the tilt-up reveal on the beat, then the same poses and hand moves. With friends, each of you gets a turn: feet first, then a close-up reveal each, then all of you together.
• Your faces (or your pets') from your photos, each in the costume you picked for them, in the place you picked: a foggy moonlit street, a haunted porch, a pumpkin patch, a graveyard and more. Pets wear a pet-sized costume and walk upright, like the pet versions of the trend.
• No watermark and no logo. The video stays in your history for 30 days; download it as often as you like.
• No song inside: add the “Ramalama (Bang Bang)” sound from the app's library when you post, so the track is credited.

Questions

Is Ramalama AI free?

No. A video costs $5.99 at 480p or $9.99 at 720p, paid once. There is no free trial or preview, so the samples on this page are real, unedited outputs of the tool. Signing in is not needed.

Do I need an app or a subscription?

No. It works in the browser on a phone or a computer, and nothing renews. You pay with a card, Apple Pay or Google Pay on Stripe's checkout.

Do I need to sign up?

No. Pick your photos and costume and pay once; your video opens on this page and stays in My videos for 30 days. We email you when it is ready. To use your credits or see your videos on another device, sign in with the email you paid with.

Can I wear any costume?

Yes. Keep the one in your photo, pick one of ours, describe it in a few words (for example “a pirate captain in a red coat”), or upload a picture of the outfit. Costumes that show nudity or gore are refused.

Can each of us wear a different costume?

Yes. With two or three photos, tap a photo above the costumes and pick its own: a witch, a vampire, a costume you describe in your own words. Stay on Everyone to dress all of you the same. It costs the same either way.

Can I change the background?

Yes. Pick one of eight places: a foggy cobblestone street, a haunted porch, a pumpkin patch, a graveyard, a dark forest, a trick-or-treat street, a Halloween party or a rainy neon street. Everyone in the video walks in the same place; the foggy street is the default.

Is it the real Ramalama dance?

Yes. Each video follows a Ramalama clip as its reference, so the walk, the tilt-up reveal, the poses and the hand moves land where the trend's do, with your faces and costumes. We never show or hand out that clip, and you add the song in TikTok when you post.

Do I need to film anything?

No. One photo each is enough: the AI makes the low camera, the walk, the reveal and the moves of the trend clip. A full-body photo where the face and shoes are visible gives the most faithful result.

Can I make one of my dog or cat?

Yes. Switch to Pets and add one photo of each pet (up to two). Like the pet versions of the trend, they wear a pet-sized costume, walk upright toward the low camera, and the reveal ends on their faces. A clear photo of the whole animal works best.

Can I do it with my friends?

Yes, up to three of you: add one photo per person. Like the group versions of the trend, each of you gets a turn: your feet one after another, then a close-up reveal each, then all of you walking together. It costs the same as a video of one.

Does the video have the Ramalama song?

No. The video you download has no sound: add the “Ramalama (Bang Bang)” sound from the TikTok or Instagram sound library when you post, and the app credits the track. The samples on this page play with the sound added, to show how it lands.

How long does it take?

About 4 to 5 minutes: in our tests a 12–15 second video took 3 to 6 minutes, plus under a minute for the costume pictures. You can leave the page: the video is saved in My videos.

Can I use someone else's photo, or a celebrity?

Only photos of yourself or of people who agreed, and no one famous. Ask a parent or guardian before using a photo of anyone under 18. You confirm this with the box under the photos.

Is my photo private?

Your photos and videos are visible only in your account; we never post them. To make your video they go to fal.ai for an automated safety check (we ask fal not to keep it) and to kie.ai, which runs the image and video models (Nano Banana by Google, Seedance by ByteDance), and nowhere else. We don't use your photos to train AI models and we don't sell them. We delete your photos a day after the video is made and the video after 30 days, or sooner if you email support@ramalamaai.net; kie.ai keeps the files it makes for up to 14 days. More in the privacy policy.

What if a video fails or the photo is refused?

Its credits come back to your account automatically, and you can try again with another photo.

The CapCut Ramalama template doesn't work for me. Will this?

CapCut's “Ramalama bang bang” templates are free to try in the CapCut app. If one won't take your photo, or you want a costume you don't own, Ramalama AI generates the walk from scratch: your face, the costume you pick, a new low-angle shot.

Is this RamaLama by Red Hat?

No. RamaLama by Red Hat is an open-source tool for running AI models in containers. Ramalama AI is an independent Halloween video tool named after the TikTok trend, not affiliated with Red Hat, Róisín Murphy, her labels or TikTok.
