Head Bop AI: make the cat headbop from one photo

A 12-second clip of the viral head bop: a row of four cut-out heads bopping to a heavy beat on a black backdrop. This template makes every head in the row the cat, dog or person from your photo.

Head bop animations have been around on TikTok since 2022. The current wave started on September 28, 2026 with a row of bopping fighter jets, and the four-cat version became the template everyone copied, including CapCut's "Cat Headbop" template.

Most head bop edits use a slowed phonk or Brazilian funk beat. Our video comes with the sound from the cat clip it follows; you can swap it for another trending sound when you post.

Yes. Cats, dogs, rabbits and other pets all work, as long as the face is clear and facing the camera. Every head in the row becomes your pet.

Yes. Upload a front-facing photo of yourself or a friend who agreed to it and the row becomes four of that person's heads, bopping together.

One subject, face to the camera, sharp and evenly lit, cropped to the head and shoulders. Photos of celebrities or other public figures won't pass review.

The CapCut template moves your photo along the original motion, so it needs a clean cut-out and keeps the photo flat. This template generates the clip around your subject, so the heads blink, open their mouths and keep real fur or skin, from one ordinary photo.

Both spellings are used for the same trend. "Head bop" and "headbop" are the most common on TikTok and CapCut; "head bob" describes the same nodding motion.
