Fin-tastic Mermaid — a wave, then a tail.
Fin-tastic Mermaid washes a person out of their photo and into the sea. The sample is a reel of two runs. It opens on a woman with long brown hair in a bright patterned top and long skirt on a beach at dusk; a green wave rises around her waist, and the view drops underwater to show her with a scaled tail.
The sample
What happens in the Fin-tastic Mermaid sample.
The first woman stands on wet sand by the sea in a green, orange and yellow top and wrap skirt. A dark green wave with white foam curls up around her, then the view goes underwater through a burst of bubbles. She reappears floating, hair spread out, in a shell-style top and a long tail of teal and gold scales. The second run opens on a woman with long dark hair in a red and teal dress, looking back over her shoulder on a terrace at sunset. A wave crashes across the frame, and she is then underwater with a teal and gold tail and pink fins.
Each woman keeps her face, skin tone and hair colour, and her hair floats loose once she is under the water. Her outfit is replaced by a shell top and a scaled tail, and the dry setting gives way to clear green-blue water with light from the surface above. Both runs open on one person seen at least from head to hips, so a solo photo framed that way is the one to reach for.

Your photo
Photos that suit it.
One-tap effects have one input. The photo you pick is your creative control.
One person, head to hips
Both runs start with a single woman shown at least down to the hips. A solo photo with that much of the body in view follows the sample.
Seaside settings, like the sample
One run starts on a beach and the other on a terrace above the sea. A photo taken near water echoes where the sample begins.
Look toward the camera
Both women meet the lens in their opening frames and again underwater. A photo with the face turned to the camera matches that.

ExploreFAQ
Fin-tastic Mermaid, answered.
What does the Fin-tastic Mermaid effect do?
Two women in turn, one on a beach at dusk and one on a terrace at sunset, are swept up by a wave and then seen underwater as mermaids with teal and gold scaled tails.
Where does the Fin-tastic Mermaid effect take place?
Each run in the sample opens on dry land, a beach at dusk in one and a terrace at sunset in the other. A wave then washes over the woman, and the rest of each run is underwater in green-blue water, with light from the surface above. She keeps her face and hair, and gains a shell-style top and a scaled tail.
How much does Fin-tastic Mermaid cost?
2–8 credits per run: 2 credits (~$0.80) at the default length and resolution, more for a longer or sharper clip (2 credits at 5s 720p · 4 credits at 8s 720p · 4 credits at 5s 1080p · 8 credits at 8s 1080p). New verified accounts receive 3 welcome credits once. The welcome bonus covers one supported first run costing 2 credits.
How long is a Fin-tastic Mermaid video?
5s or 8s at 720p or 1080p. It follows the shape of your photo. Nothing you export is watermarked, on any plan.

No. Fin-tastic Mermaid is a template on the PixVerse engine. King AI sends the effect's name and your photo; there is no text prompt to write.
