Yes, that's the most popular version. One cat per photo, head-on, ears visible.

Can I use one person and one pet?

Yes, choose "One of each". The pet stands on a garden wall so your heads are level.

Do I need the Bronski Beat song?

Add it on TikTok or Reels after you download; we don't embed it.

Does it work on iPhone?

Yes, in the browser. There is no app to install.

Is there a watermark?

Not on paid videos. The free preview is a short 480p draft.

What length and format?

15 seconds, vertical 9:16, MP4, 720p or 1080p.

Can I do the "parents" or "grandpa when he was young" version?

Yes. Upload the two photos you want, for example an old photo of your grandpa and one of you, and choose People.

Why did my video fail?

Usually a group photo or a small or blurry image. The credits are refunded automatically.

Do you keep my photos?

Only to make the video and show it in your History; deleted on request within 30 days, never used to train AI.

What is the Smalltown Boy AI dance trend?

The Smalltown Boy AI trend is a TikTok format where two people (or, most often, two cats) take turns screaming at the camera with their hands on their heads, then break into a deadpan 80s dance to Bronski Beat's "Smalltown Boy", all generated by AI from two photos.

It started as a real two-person dance video in the summer, and in early October 2026 an AI version with two cats went viral. Since then it has spread to pets of every kind, "me and my parents", "grandpa when he was young" and best-friend duos.

The beats are always the same: one screams at an ultra-wide phone lens while the other dances behind, they swap, they dance side by side, and both rush the camera at the end.

How do I make a Smalltown Boy AI video with my photos?

Upload two photos on Tanvo (one face per photo), pick People, Pets or One of each, and click "Make our dance". Your 15-second vertical video is ready in about 5 minutes: no CapCut template, no prompts.

Photo 1 and Photo 2: each with one clear face (or one cat or dog), facing the camera.
Choose: People, Pets or One of each; quality (720p or HD 1080p); sound (silent, or an AI 80s beat).
Generate: both faces are kept, and the scream, the head clutch and the dance follow the trend.

Photo 1 screams first and dances on the left; Photo 2 screams second and dances on the right.

Is there a free Smalltown Boy AI generator?

Yes. Every free Tanvo account gets one free 4-second preview, so you see your two faces in the scream before paying. Full 15-second videos start at $3.99.

Free TikTok and CapCut templates exist, but you either film and sync the moves yourself or get a fixed clip; the AI version works from two still photos.

What photos work best?

Two separate photos, one face each, front-facing, good light, no sunglasses. For cats and dogs, a clear head-on shot with the ears visible.

Avoid group photos, side profiles and images under 512×512 pixels. You must own the photos or have permission from the adults in them. No minors, no public figures.

How much does a Smalltown Boy AI video cost?

One video is $4.99 (your first one $3.99), HD 1080p is $7.99, three videos are $11.99. One-time payment, no subscription.

Failed renders are refunded automatically.

How long does it take, and does it include the song?

About 5 minutes. The download is silent by default so you can add the original "Smalltown Boy" sound inside TikTok or Reels; you can also choose an AI-generated 80s beat.

We don't embed the copyrighted recording. Adding it on TikTok keeps your post on the trend's sound page. We email you when the video is ready, and it stays in your History until you delete it.
