Shot 1 · 0–6.75s
The dance
Playful wild moves beside the stationary car on the empty forecourt. Full-body, low wide angle, golden-hour light throwing long shadows across the asphalt.
Put yourself and your friends in the viral gas station dance. Same three shots, no filming — add 1 or 3 photos and get a 5–15s vertical video with sound.
JPG, PNG, or WEBP up to 20MB. NSFW is checked on upload.
One person per photo, face clearly visible. Adults only. Use photos you own or have permission to use. No nudity or sexual content.
Reference clips of the trend's three-shot edit — the same structure the generator above builds from your photos. Every video keeps the dance, the selfie and the car exit.
Photos in: the three-shot gas-station edit — from the forecourt dance to the slow car exit at sunset.
The full edit with a full cast — the dance, the selfie and the car exit, one friend per shot.
A new trio takes the same three shots at golden hour — same moves, same cuts, same vibe.
Another cast, another sunset — proof the template works with any group of friends.
About 15 seconds, cut into three shots. Each shot gets its own person — or you play all three.
Playful wild moves beside the stationary car on the empty forecourt. Full-body, low wide angle, golden-hour light throwing long shadows across the asphalt.
Dancing, grinning and laughing into the phone. The handheld camera swings into a close-up selfie while this friend keeps moving to the beat.
Stepping out near the passenger side and joining the dance. The door swings, the setting sun sits behind the car, and everyone moves together into the final pose.
No filming, no location, no editing timeline — upload, generate, download.
Pick who's in it Just you in all three shots, or you and two friends — one photo per shot. The toggle above sets the cast.
Add your photos Full-body shots work best for the dance and the car exit; a clear face photo for the selfie. Your face, hair and outfit carry into the video.
Generate and download Takes about 5–10 minutes and you can leave and come back. Download the clean vertical MP4, drop the trend's song in CapCut if you want it, and post.
The AI builds the full gas station dance edit — forecourt dance, selfie dance and the car-exit dance — from your uploaded photos. No camera, no location, no editing timeline.
Just me mode reuses your one photo across all three shots. Me + 2 friends gives each shot its own person — the lead dancer, the selfie dancer and the car-exit dancer.
Warm sunset light, long shadows and a cinematic color grade come baked into every clip, so your edit matches the trend's signature vibe without any color work.
Powered by Grok Imagine Video 1.5, clips are generated with native audio — ambience and an upbeat dance-pop groove are included. Exports are clean MP4, so you can swap in the original song.
Each photo is used as a strict identity reference for its shot, so faces, hair and outfits stay locked from the forecourt to the car door — even across cuts.
New users start with free signup credits. Pick 5s, 10s or 15s at 480p or 720p and export a clean vertical MP4 sized for TikTok, Reels and Shorts.
The gas station dance started on a road trip by Russian creator Mikhail Litvin and his friends. At dawn at a gas station, Ravshan suddenly starts dancing, Litvin films a selfie, and Adel climbs out of the car — all to Akcent's "On & On (Stay With Me)".
That's why people also call it the Litvin dance, or the Litvin Ravshan Adel dance. The clip became a gas station meme: short, ridiculous and easy to recognise in the first second.
In 2026, AI templates turned it into the gas station trend: people started putting themselves and their friends into the same three shots. A gas station AI video lets you join without driving anywhere or filming a thing.
