Kira 4.0 brings video and music into the same creative flow as our image editor. Animate a friend's photo, drop an AI soundtrack, change their hairstyle before anyone notices. No prompts, no downloads, no experience needed. Just pick something, make it, and share the joy.
Hey Product Hunt! π I'm Owen, one of the makers behind Kira.
Kira started as an AI photo editor. People used it to prank their friends, give them Ghibli makeovers, swap their backgrounds into ridiculous places. The sharing energy was exactly what we hoped for.
With 4.0 we asked what else deserves that same treatment. Turns out, a lot.
- π₯ Video Generator: Now your friends don't just get a weird photo. They get a weird video. Upload their picture, watch them move, send it before they see it coming.
- π΅ Music Generator: Describe a vibe and get an original track. Drop a diss track on your BFF or make a birthday anthem. AI writes it, you take the credit.
- πΌοΈ Image Generator: New filters, crop, and manual adjustments on top of our existing tools. More ways to prank, more ways to make it perfect before you share.
No skills needed. If you can tap a screen, you can use Kira. Everything runs in your browser, open it and you're already playing.
Try it, make something for your friends, and drop it in the comments. We want to see what you sendβ¨
@owenlongboΒ Love the approach, Owen! Turning friends into content is a clever viral loop, and making it instantly playable with no skills needed is smart. Curious to see which part β video, music, or image β will drive most engagement over time. Excited to watch this evolve π
@janicelewis00Β Thanks! Honestly we're curious about that too haha. Right now image editing is the most used since it's been around the longest, but we're seeing a lot of excitement around the music feature, people love making random songs for their friends. We'll see how it plays out, appreciate the support!

@owenlongboΒ Incredible work here. Just a quick quest: what's one underrated creator trick you've seen users pull off with the new generators to make shares go viral (if any)?β

@janicelewis00 Cool concept! Would love to see some examples of the video and music output quality before trying it out. Looks fun though.

Expanding from a photo editor into video and music generation while keeping everything browser-based with zero downloads creates a powerful share-first creative loop β the fact that someone can upload a friend's photo, animate it, add an AI soundtrack, and share it without ever leaving the browser removes every friction point that usually kills viral content creation. The music generator is an interesting addition to what started as a visual tool; how tightly integrated is the audio with the video output β can users sync generated music to specific moments in the animated clip, or are they independent outputs that get combined manually?
@svyat_dvoretskiΒ Thanks for the kind words! Right now, video and music are separate outputs; you'd need to put them together yourself. Syncing them automatically is definitely on our mind, though. Great suggestion. Thanks for checking us out!
How is it with the testing of the tool? Do I need to pay directly? Because I uploaded the image, it started generating something. I waited, and then the pop-up window appeared with the pricing list. In other words: Is there any testing option?
@busmark_w_nikaΒ Good question! You get 30 free credits when you sign up, and each image edit only costs 5 credits, so you can try it about 6 times for free. The video feature is currently only available for Pro and Max users since the compute costs are pretty high on that one. Maybe that's what you ran into? Try the image editing features first and see how you like it!
@ccddzΒ I really do not know which plan I used, I just uploaded photo and prompt "make it animated" :D and was asked to pay directly :D

It sounds like a really interesting and fun idea for having a laugh with friends. The question is, do you label the video/text/photo in any way to indicate that it was created using AI? Because, while itβs a great tool, it can often be used improperly. Teenagers in particular can use this in a truly cruel way towards their peers.
@michal_kukulΒ That's a really important point and we appreciate you raising it. All content created with Kira has our watermark on it by default. Paid users can remove the watermark, but our policy clearly states that all content must be used responsibly and properly. We built Kira for lighthearted fun between friends, and we don't condone any form of misuse. It's something we take seriously and will keep improving on.
@sylvunnyΒ Thanks so much! Really glad you're having fun with it.

Congrats on the launch. Such a fun product. Being able to go from a static photo to an animated video with an AI soundtrack brings such a creative flow. Does Kira 4.0 support direct sharing to TikTok or Reels, or is it a download and post situation ?
@aya_vlasoffΒ Thank you! That's exactly the vibe we were going for. Right now it's download or share via link, but TikTok and Reels integration is on our radar for sure. Appreciate the suggestion!
For ordinary people with no creative experience at all, what are the criteria you have internally set for determining a "successful work"? Is it perfect picture quality, or something like "fun and shareable"?

@0xinhuaThatβs awesome! really appreciate it! π
So glad you tried it and shared it with us.

@yu_zhou8Β Great question, for us, itβs about fun and shareable, not perfect quality.
If users want to send it to friends or post it, itβs a win π
