A real close-up of you
The opening face is the one from your photo, never a generic model.

The shot
What happens in an Earth zoom out clip
The opening frame is you, close up, looking into the lens. From there the camera keeps climbing: the street drops away, cloud layers slide past, and the shot ends on the planet with its night side lit by cities. It reads as one unbroken take.
Doing that by hand means stitching drone footage to satellite images in an editor. Here a Seedance model invents the whole climb from your photo. You can be alone in the shot or with a second person, and the sound is ambient, not a song.
Quick start
How to make an Earth zoom out video
- 01
Choose a photo facing the camera
The first second is your face at full size, so sharp focus and good light matter most.
- 02
Leave Earth Zoom Out selected
It opens on Seedance 2.0 Mini at 720p, 5 seconds, 9:16. Change any setting and the price on the button updates.
- 03
Create, then download
Expect up to about 5 minutes by the provider’s estimate. The MP4 also waits in My videos.
In the clip
Why the zoom out starts with your own face
One smooth climb
The prompt asks for a single continuous pull-back, so there are no jump cuts.
One person or two
Use a photo of both of you, or a separate photo per person.
A clear price
4 credits for 5 seconds at 720p; more seconds or a higher resolution cost more. A failed render refunds itself.
Common mistakes with the zoom out
- A tiny face in a wide shot. The clip starts on the face, so crop close or choose a portrait.
- Side lighting with deep shadows. Whatever is in the photo shows up in the close-up; flat, even light looks best.
- Sunglasses or a hand over the face. The model needs to see who you are.
- Expecting a song. This effect has ambient sound only; add music when you post.
Want a zoom in instead?
The generator only zooms out, but you can flip it. Reverse the MP4 in CapCut or any other editor and the shot dives from orbit down to your face, which makes a neat opener before your own footage.
Good moments for an Earth zoom out
- The closing shot of a holiday montage.
- Announcing a move: pull away from your face, then cut to the new city.
- A graduation or birthday post that goes from one person to the whole world.
- Pair it with other one-photo scenes from the AI video effects list, such as clones or a hug.

How do I make the Earth zoom out effect from a photo?
Upload a clear photo where you face the camera, keep Earth Zoom Out selected and tap create. The video begins on your face and climbs out to the planet.
Can I do the Earth zoom out on my phone without an app?
Yes. It runs in the phone browser; the provider quotes up to about 5 minutes, and you save the MP4 from the result or from My videos.
Is there a free Earth zoom out generator here?
No. 5 seconds at 720p costs 4 credits. You spend credits at the moment you create (packs start at 10 credits for $9.99), and any render that fails gives them back on its own.
How do I get the zoom in version, from space to my face?
Reverse the downloaded clip in any video editor. The generator itself only renders the zoom out.
Can my partner and I both be in the shot?
Yes. Add one photo with both of you, or one photo for each person.
Which aspect ratio works for TikTok?
Pick 9:16 for TikTok, Reels and Shorts. All aspect ratios are the same price.
