All your pets, in one family portrait
Getting every pet to sit still for one photo is impossible; with a few photos of each, RefVid puts them side by side on the sofa for a family portrait that moves a little — a glance, a nudge, a look straight into the camera. Each keeps its own face, coat or feathers.

Sign in, pick or add your subject, and the studio opens with this template filled in. Your first 3-second clip is free.
Made from these photos
What you get
- Two pets, each from 1–5 photos, in one clip
- 1 shot, 5 seconds, square 1:1
- Cosy living-room light
- No watermark
Who it’s for
For households with two pets that never sit still for the same photo, for a framed-portrait gift, and for pet brands showing a product for multi-pet homes. Each pet keeps its own coat and markings.
The prompt
What the studio fills in for you. Your subject takes the place in brackets; you can change any of it.
- [your first pet] and [your second pet] sit side by side on a soft grey sofa with cushions in a cosy living room, like a family portrait; [your second pet] glances at [your first pet], then both look straight at the camera. Warm lamp light, gentle push-in.
Make it yours
Dress them up
Describe matching bandanas, bow ties or knitted sweaters for both pets for a holiday or wedding version.
Change the setting
Swap the grey sofa for a garden bench, a stairway or a cosy bed with a patterned quilt.
Add a third
Add a third pet or a person as a subject in the studio and write them into the middle of the portrait.
Photos that work best
Pets: 1–5 sharp photos of the same pet, one face-on at eye level and one of the whole body from the side, so the coat, markings and size come through. Daylight beats flash, which turns eyes green or red.
How it works
- Sign in and add your first pet and your second pet, each from 1–5 photos. Each subject is saved once, so every later template takes one tap.
- The studio opens with this template filled in: the shot, 5 seconds, 1:1. Change any word you like.
- Press Generate. The clip is ready in a few minutes, without a watermark, and the same subject is there for the next one.
Questions
- Which pets work?
- Any pets you can photograph clearly: dogs, cats, rabbits, birds. Use 1 to 5 sharp photos of each, front-on, from the side and full body.
- Can I add a third pet?
- Yes: a clip can hold up to three saved subjects. Add the third pet in the studio and write it onto the sofa.
- How much does this template cost?
- A new RefVid account’s free credits cover one 3-second clip. The full template is 5 seconds: buy it as a single video, with no plan, or use credits from a pack or plan. Current prices are on the pricing page.
- Can this replace pet family portraits?
- It is a moving version you can make today from photos you already have, without getting two pets to sit still at once.
- Does it work for dog and cat videos together?
- Yes: save each pet as its own subject and both appear in the portrait with their own coats.
