Your elf, starring in magical AI & AR photos and videos. Scan your family’s elf, place it in your home with AR, and make Christmas moments they’ll never forget.
Welcome to Elf Studio®! The latest marvel from the Software Elves here at the North Pole Command Center (Creators of Speak to Santa)!
Turn your elf's Christmas mischief into photos and videos set in your own home! Put them under the tree, send them towards the cookie jar, or dream up a surprise of your own.
- SCAN YOUR OWN ELF! Start with one photo of your elf toy, with room for up to four views. Every account includes one elf scan. Elf Studio Pro includes ten a month, with no additional credit charge.
- NO TOY? DRAW OR DESCRIBE ONE! Sketch your elf on the drawing pad or describe it in words, and the AI turns it into an elf you can cast in any scene.
- QUICK CREATE OR STUDIO! Pick an elf and a photo, then describe the action, or stage your photo by dragging elves and props into place, choosing poses and adjusting sizes.
- GET HELP WITH THE WORDS! Studio builds a scene script from your layout. Get Ideas suggests actions for your photo, and Improve helps rewrite your prompt.
- AI PHOTOS & VIDEOS! Make photo takes, compare them and animate your favorite. Cast up to three elves with their own roles in the scene.
- DIRECT THE SHOT! Create five-second AI videos with Natural, Stop Motion or Storybook styling, camera movement, portrait or landscape framing and optional generated sound. Use start and end images to guide the action.
- MAKE AN EXAMPLE YOUR OWN! Browse scene ideas and use an example recipe with your chosen elf and your own photo.
- THE ELF WORKSHOP! Choose ready-made elves in classic and felt styles, or design one in 3D with hair, hats, outfits, gloves, shoes, glasses and colors, with a live preview.
- ENHANCE WITH AI! Give your elf a lifelike look and keep different looks to choose from.
- BRING THE PROPS! Pick from the prop shelf, scan a toy or describe a prop for the AI to create reference pictures.
- STICKERS & POSES! Make AI stickers of your elf striking new poses, then use those poses in your Studio photos. Add a bust sticker of any custom elf, made right on your device.
- SEND THEM IN MESSAGES! Open Elf Studio® in the Messages app drawer to send the cast, your own elves and the stickers you have made.
- HOME SCREEN WIDGETS! Count the sleeps until Christmas or until your elf arrives, with a posed elf of your choice keeping watch.
- MAKE THEM AR-READY! Generate a 3D model of a scanned elf or prop before placing it in your room.
- FILM IN AUGMENTED REALITY! Place AR-ready elves and props on your floor, draw walking routes, add stops and choose animations. Capture AR photos and videos, with Look at Camera, footsteps, lighting and actions you can trigger while filming. AR needs a compatible device.
- CATCH THEIR FACES! Record the viewer's reaction as your video plays. Reaction recordings stay on your device and are not uploaded to Elf Studio®.
- ADD THE FINISHING TOUCH! Apply eight video looks and filters without changing the original. Find your creations in the Gallery, save them to Photos and share the files.

I love the app because a elf is in you’re house from a iPad or phone and that’s super cool so I recommend to get the app but the one thing is it says that you can let the elf’s walk around you’re house but actually you need premium to do a lot of things but it’s still super cool so I recommend getting this app but just to let you know not all things are true in this app but over all it’s super fun and really cute so hope you read this review and I hope this helps a lot! 😉
Read this before you get it!!!

Hi OK so I like this app a lot but you have to pay for everything else doesn’t really do anything I don’t really know what to do with it it kind of just stands there so yeah I mean it’s OK but you can’t like move your elf it’s not realistic I think it should be for ages two and up☺️ but I don’t really like it if you wanna decorate your elf you have to play it a lot and I don’t know how to get all the different outfits there’s a bunch of poses but you have to unlock them or buy them you mostly have to buy everything I don’t really know what to do with it so yeah thanks for reading this and I would really appreciate you developers if you would write me back thank you bye 🥲thank you for your time.
Beware of the app stamp

Super cute and I was really excited for this because my son is on the fence about believing in the elf and Santa. Paid for the app to get all the features, recorded a video and didn’t realize there was a label in the corner before I sent it to my son who immediately noticed it…so there goes that idea. Deleted the app after that
Developer Response
Hey, I didn't even consider that! I'll include an option to remove the watermark in the next update. Sorry about that!
I like this but one thing
cfarr
When I first saw elf studio I wanted to use it for skits. But there’s one thing that DRIVES ME CRAZY!!!!! The app makes it look like everything is FREE! But when you get the app you have to get PREMIUM in order to CUSTOMIZE and HAVE YOUR ELF WALK AROUND AND DO ANIMATIONS! Before you get this app pls read this. Although the app is cool I still do wish that in the future they will let you have animations for free and customization for free. They have premium for one reason: money. Developer please write me back.Thanks for reading this
