Key features

The whole trend, beat for beat

The person from photo 1 starts close to the phone, pointing back at photo 2 dancing in the back of the room. On the hard cut they swap: photo 2 takes the camera, photo 1 dances, and both halves end in the deep squat everyone copies. Same room, same handheld selfie framing and the same timing as the clip the trend is built on.

A friend, a partner or your pet

Each photo can be a person or a pet. Set a photo to Pet and that cat or dog keeps its own face, fur and markings, leans into the camera, raises a paw to point back, hops to the beat and crouches low at the end.

How to use

01
Upload photo 1 (starts in front of the camera) and photo 2 (starts dancing in the back), one person or one pet per photo.
02
Set each photo to Person or Pet, then keep 480p or choose 720p.
03
Generate the 7-second vertical clip, then download your video.

Deep dive

Hop Hop Hop is the two-person swap-places trend all over TikTok right now. One friend holds the phone close and points back, the other dances to the beat across the room, and on the hard cut you trade places, each half ending in the same deep squat.

This template puts the two of you into that clip. Upload two photos: photo 1 starts in front of the camera, photo 2 starts dancing in the back, and the cut swaps you. Keep both on Person for a duo with your best friend or partner, or set one or both to Pet and do it with your cat or dog.

Pick clear, well-lit photos with one person or one animal each and the face fully visible. The result is a 7-second vertical clip at 480p or 720p; generate it, then download your video and post it.

Frequently asked questions

What is the Hop Hop Hop dance?+

A two-person TikTok trend from autumn 2026. One person films close to the camera and points back while a friend dances to the beat behind them, there is a hard cut, the two swap places, and each half ends with the dancer dropping into a deep squat.

How many photos do I need?+

Two, one per role. Photo 1 starts in front of the camera and dances in the second half; photo 2 starts dancing in the back and takes the camera after the cut.

Can my cat or dog do it?+

Yes. Set that photo to Pet. Your pet stays a real animal with its own face, fur and markings and does the moves its own way: leaning in, pointing back with a paw, hopping and crouching. Pets vary more from run to run than people, so if one result misses, generate again.

Which photos work best?+

One person or one pet per photo, face clearly visible, in good light, ideally showing the upper body or more. Use only photos of adults who agree to be in the video, or of your own pets.

Will it look like us?+

Recognizably you: faces, hair and the clothes in your photos carry over, though not pixel for pixel. The dancer in the back is small in the frame, so a sharp, well-lit photo helps most there.

How long is the video, and what shape?+

Seven seconds, 9:16 vertical. It renders at 480p by default, or 720p if you choose it.

How many credits does it cost?+

180 credits at 480p and 271 credits at 720p.
