AI versionWhat is the I'm Sorry I Lied trend?
It's a TikTok slideshow that took off in late October 2026. Slide one is an adorable, picture-perfect Halloween photo: "When I was little I was a witch for Halloween." Slide two: "I'm so freaking sorry… I lied." Slide three is the real photo — the homemade costume, the wrong color, the paper hat.
The perfect photo is usually made with AI from the real one; the most-viewed post, past 400,000 views on Oct 22, is labelled by TikTok as containing AI-generated content. People search for it as the im sorry i lied trend or the sorry i lied costume trend.
This site does the AI part and the slides in one go. You bring the real photo; we keep the kid's face and pose, swap in the costume you were promised, and hand you the video plus every slide.

FAQ
Can I use a real photo of a kid?
Yes, if it's you as a kid or your own child. Don't upload other people's kids or celebrities.
What exactly do I get?
Two AI versions of your photo, from two different image models. For each one: a silent 3-slide 9:16 MP4, the AI photo, and the three slides as images in a zip.
How long does it take?
Usually about 2 minutes. We'll email you when it's done, so you can close the tab.
Does the video have sound?
No. Add the trend sound in TikTok: tap "Add sound" and search the sound the trend uses.
What if the AI refuses my photo?
If one model declines it, you still get the other version. If both do, your set is refunded to your account automatically.
Will it look like me?
It keeps your face and pose most of the time, but AI can drift. If it doesn't look like you, reply to your email and we'll refund you.
Do sets expire? Is this a subscription?

What happens to my photo?
Your uploaded photo is deleted within 2 days. The finished videos and photos stay in My videos so you can download them again; email us to delete them sooner.
