What it is
Gangnam Style AI puts one photo of you, or of your pet, into the horse-riding dance. You cross your wrists as if you held reins, gallop in place, swing one arm overhead like a lasso, shuffle sideways, and point at the camera. You upload a still. On the one-photo pages in Where to make it you do not write a prompt unless you leave those pages and build the clip yourself. The usual finished file is a short vertical video of that dance.
Wikipedia's article on the 2012 song calls the move the horse trot: pretending to ride a horse, alternately holding the reins and spinning a lasso, then a legs-shuffling side gallop. The same article names the signature bit the invisible horse dance. The posts below are other people's clips. This page includes no clip we made.

The title is "Gangnam Style Dog", and the description includes the tags #ai #funny #sora. The post is from 2025-12-30T12:14:12Z, which is 30 December 2025 at 20:14 in Asia/Singapore. A second time on the same post is 20:14:21 in Asia/Singapore, and the listed duration is 9 seconds. The file is 480 by 864 and 9.797 seconds, with audio. The clip shows a pale, fully furred dog standing upright in the back of a red van. One moment has the forelegs crossed at the chest and one hind leg lifted. A later moment has one foreleg raised.
A later horse-dance pet clip is the YouTube Short This Cat Nailed the Gangnam Style Dance from the channel LOLPETS. The upload time is 20 October 2026 at 15:49 in Asia/Singapore, and the listed duration is 10 seconds. The file is 1080 by 1920 and 9.888 seconds, with audio. The description says "This orange cat just hit the Gangnam Style dance moves" and "AI-generated fictional comedy video." The clip shows an orange tabby standing upright in a kitchen with both front paws raised. YouTube Shorts do not use the embed player on this site, so the short stays a normal link.
A second public format uses the same song name and a different set of moves. Three clothed people share a camera and take turns, instead of one rider galloping on invisible reins. Retwist's post is that three-person clip.

Retwist posted this at 2026-10-25T17:28:59.000Z, which is 26 October 2026 at 01:28 in Asia/Singapore. The UTC calendar day is 25 October 2026. The text is "Your crew. This dance. Three photos → your own Gangnam Style AI video. Keep the scene or bring your own background." The file is 1920 by 1080 and 21.547 seconds, with audio. The clip shows clothed adults in the Louvre courtyard. One moment is a woman in a brown dress and a blue headscarf, waving at the lens. A later moment shows the same woman with her mouth open and a second clothed person in red at the edge. Those moments are a sing-along and a wave. They are not the reins, the gallop, and the lasso.

Where to make it
Use a one-photo horse-dance page when you want the reins, the gallop, the lasso, the side shuffle, and the point. Prices come from the product pages. Read the number on the button the day you generate.
The night-street trio is a different clip: three people take turns at a camera. MakeViral's Solo, Duo, and Trio rows, and the Retwist post above, are that format. Open the Horse dance row when you want the 2012 ride.
Jump on the Trend
Use this in the browser when you want one clear photo, a free preview still, and a 10-second vertical file. You pick You, You and a friend side by side, or Your cat or dog. You do not write a prompt.
Direct link: Gangnam Style Dance.
The lead says: in a sharp black suit on a city rooftop at sunset, you do the horse-riding dance, wrists crossed on invisible reins, a bouncing gallop on the spot, a lasso swing overhead, a side-step shuffle, and a point straight at the camera. A cat or a dog can do it upright in a bow tie. The page data marks aspect 9:16, duration 10 seconds, and audio off. The how-to says to add "Gangnam Style" from the app's sounds when you post, because the file is silent. Badges on the form: free preview first, no sign-up, automatic refund if it fails. The footer says adults only. The rules line says everyone you upload is an adult who said yes, and that you only add your own pets.
The read-more prints the video at 100 credits ($6.99). The FAQ says the full video costs 100 credits, charged when it is ready, and that credits come in packs from $6.99 for 100. The Pro button prints $19.99 a month for 300 credits. Unused credits never expire and are refundable for 14 days. Their about block is marked Updated 25 Oct 2026.

MakeViral
Use this when you want the horse-dance beats written out, or a separate pet row that copies the kitchen-cat clip. On the template you tap a row. You write the prompt only if you leave the one-tap button and run it yourself.
Direct link: Gangnam Style Dance AI.
Scroll to the row named Horse dance. It prints: 1 photo, you, face clear, Seedance 2.5, 10 s, 720p, 9:16, 126 credits. The prompt on that row is a rooftop at sunset, wrists on the reins, a gallop in place, a lasso overhead, a side shuffle, and a point. Its audio line is a fast K-pop electro house beat with no singing and no words. The page says Horse dance comes with that beat, not the 2012 song, so you add a Gangnam Style sound when you post. It also says the song belongs to its owners and that MakeViral gives you no rights to it.
The same page's Solo, Duo, and Trio rows are 15 s, 720p, 16:9, 228 credits, and they copy the night-street reel. Pet is 1 photo of the whole animal, Seedance 2.5, 10 s, 720p, 9:16, 152 credits, and it copies the orange-cat kitchen clip. The Horse dance prompt itself says that if the uploaded image is an animal, the dancer is that animal upright. Pick Horse dance for the rooftop ride. Pick Pet for the kitchen clip.
The page says this template is for adults, to use photos of yourself or of adult friends who agreed, and never a celebrity, a stranger, or a child. It says there is no watermark, and that a failed video gives its credits back. The people and pets shown as samples on the page are described there as AI-made.
The template does not print a dollar total for 126 credits. On the pricing page, one-time packs are $9.99 for 100 credits, $13.99 for 150, $39.99 for 450, $64.99 for 850, and $129.99 for 1,900. New accounts start with 0 credits. Credits from a one-time pack never expire. Weekly is $9.99 a week after a first week at $3.99, with 130 credits a week. Starter is $49.99 a month after a first month at $18.99, with 700 credits. Pro is $199.99 a month after a first month at $84.99, with 3,000 credits. A video that fails gives its credits back. Checkout is marked Stripe. Read the Horse dance button before you spend.
DreamFace
Use this when you want the built-in GANGNAM STYLE act, or when you already have a reference clip you may use. You upload one image.
Direct link: GANGNAM STYLE.
The heading is "Gangnam Style AI Dance Video Generator". The card says Choose Effect, GANGNAM STYLE, Click to upload an image, and Generate Video. The stats row prints 60s generation time, HD output quality, Free, and 2 downloads. Step 1 says to upload a real person photo or a character image. Step 2 says to pick a built-in K-pop dance template, such as Gangnam Style, or to upload a reference video. Step 3 says the dance video is created in 30–60 seconds, that you can try it for free, and that membership or credit plans are available for more creations. The page does not print the finished file's length in seconds. The JSON-LD offer on that page has price 0. The pricing page at https://www.dreamfaceapp.com/home?type=price shows no dollar amount. Confirm the current price on DreamFace before you buy.

CapCut
Use the template page when you want CapCut's titled Dance Gangnam Style template. The public text does not spell out a photo-upload form.
Direct link: Dance Gangnam Style.
The page prints aspect ratio 9:16 and a length of 00:11. The template page does not print a dollar price or a credit total. Confirm the charge in CapCut before you use the template. The preview file is 720 by 1280, 10.356 seconds, with an audio track. The clip shows one clothed adult in a black suit, a white shirt, and a dark tie, in a stone courtyard, with one arm raised and with the wrists crossed.
Other platforms
A second CapCut template, Gangnam Style Dance, was also up on 27 October 2026 at 9:16 with a printed length of 00:16. Its preview file is 714 by 1282, 15.138 seconds, and the frames are three clothed cartoon cats in jackets. That clip is separate from the one-photo human ride.
One other site prints a one-photo horse-riding studio and is not the path in the steps above. gangnamstyleai.app prints the line "Studio preview · Generation coming soon." Three other pages describe the group clip, and they are not the path in the steps above. aigangnamstyle.com says it is the night-street trio, silent 480p, and prints $9.9 for 1 video, $29.9 for 4 videos, and $49.9 for 7 videos. gangnamstyleai.org says the same trio, 15 s, 16:9, 720p, with the song, at $9.90, and its short answer is marked Updated 2026-10-22. Retwist's three-photo template prints an 18-second landscape 16:9 selfie, with 288 credits at 480p, 630 at 720p, and 1,440 at 1080p. The page does not print a dollar total.
To build the horse dance without those templates, paste the prompt in Three steps into an image-to-video tool, or drive it with motion control. Open Kling AI Motion Control. The feature page says: bring any static image to life, upload a reference video, and Kling replicates the movement, facial expressions, and details. The steps are: upload a static character image and a motion reference video, optionally bind the face with more angles, then generate and export. The page names no Gangnam preset and prints no price. Use a photo you may use, and a reference clip you may use. The 2012 music video is not that reference unless you have the right to use it.
Three steps
- Tool — Open Jump's Gangnam Style Dance page, or MakeViral and choose the Horse dance row, or DreamFace and leave the effect on GANGNAM STYLE.
- Input — Upload one clear, front-facing photo of an adult who agreed, or one photo of your own pet on the pet control. On MakeViral, a face turned to the camera is the horse-dance note, and a whole-body pet photo is the Pet row. If you are not using those pages, paste this prompt into the motion-control path above, with your photo as image 1 and a reference clip you may use:
A vertical 9:16 dance video, photorealistic, a phone on a small tripod at chest height, on a city rooftop at sunset: a wide flat roof with a low glass railing, glass towers and a warm orange sky behind, golden light on the face. One person does the horse-riding dance to the camera with a cool, serious, deadpan face.
The dancer is the person in [Image 1], in EVERY frame: copy the exact face from [Image 1] (the face shape, eye color and eye shape, eyebrows, nose, mouth, skin tone, age, hair color, hair length and hairstyle, and any beard, moustache, glasses or freckles), so their friends recognize them at once. The face stays the same from the first frame to the last, also while they bounce. Never morph. They wear the clothes from [Image 1]. NO sunglasses, no blue tuxedo jacket and no bow tie unless [Image 1] shows them. If [Image 1] shows an animal, the dancer is that animal standing upright on its hind legs, with its own face, fur and markings and the natural body volume of that animal.
The dance, beat by beat:
0-2 s: a medium shot from the knees up, the face large and sharp: they stare into the lens and cross the wrists in front of the chest as if holding the reins.
2-5 s: wrists crossed on the reins and a bouncy gallop in place: a skip on one foot, then the other, knees up, the crossed hands bobbing on the beat; the camera eases back so the hop shows from head to feet.
5-7.5 s: one arm swinging a lasso high over the head while the gallop goes on, the other hand still on the reins.
7.5-9 s: a quick side shuffle left and right, two hops each way, the wrists crossed again.
9-10 s: a last gallop facing the camera, then they stop, point at the lens and grin.
Audio: a fast K-pop electro house dance beat with a heavy kick, no singing, no words, and a soft tap of shoes on the roof on each hop.
Exactly one person. Anatomy: one head, two arms, two legs, hands with five fingers. No other people, no horse. No text, no subtitles, no logos, no watermark.
- Export — Keep the shape the page prints. MakeViral Horse dance is 10 seconds, 720p, 9:16, an MP4 with the generated beat and no watermark. Jump is a 10-second 9:16 file with no audio, so add a sound you are allowed to use when you post. DreamFace prints HD and a generation time of 30–60 seconds, and does not print the file length. CapCut's Dance Gangnam Style page prints 9:16 and 00:11.
Before you post
- Likeness — Use a photo of yourself, of an adult who agreed, or of your own pet. MakeViral's template says it is for adults and says never a celebrity, a stranger, or a child. Jump's footer says adults only, and the form says everyone you upload is an adult who said yes. DreamFace's first step says to upload a real person photo or a character image. A child, a stranger, or a celebrity likeness does not belong in this clip.
- AI label — Tell viewers the dance is generated. YouTube's help page Disclosing use of GenAI content says: "We require creators to disclose AI-generated or altered content that seems realistic." Creators must disclose content that makes a real person appear to say or do something they did not do, alters footage of a real event or place, or generates a realistic scene that did not occur. Turn on the label where TikTok, Reels, or Shorts asks for one.
- Rights — The 2012 recording belongs to its rights holders. Jump's file is silent. MakeViral's Horse dance row uses a generated beat with no singing, and the page says it gives you no rights to the song. DreamFace's act page does not say the 2012 master is included. This page does not identify the recording inside each saved file. Add a track you may use, or use the sound the product says is included. Do not paste the lyrics into the caption. aigangnamstyle.com and gangnamstyleai.org each say they are an independent fan tool and are not affiliated with PSY, P NATION, YG Entertainment, TikTok, or CapCut. Jump's footer says it is not affiliated with TikTok, Instagram, or YouTube.

- Tools: CapCut hosts the Dance Gangnam Style template linked above. Kling is the motion-control path when you bring a still and a reference clip you may use. Higgsfield is a general image-to-video job if you paste the horse-dance prompt. Confirm the price on that page before you generate.
- Models: Seedance is the model name MakeViral prints on the Horse dance row. Kling is the image-to-video family behind the motion-control feature page.
FAQ
Can I make this without a dedicated template?
Yes. Paste the horse-dance prompt in Three steps into an image-to-video tool, or follow Kling's motion-control steps in Other platforms: one still plus a reference clip you may use. Confirm the price on that page before you generate.
What do I need to upload?
One clear, front-facing photo. Jump asks for a selfie with no sunglasses, and up to three photos of the same person if you want a closer likeness. MakeViral's Horse dance row asks for one face turned to the camera. DreamFace asks for one image. A pet version wants the animal's face and body in the frame. The three-photo night-street clip is a different upload.
Does the clip include the 2012 song?
On the horse-dance rows, no. Jump says the video is silent and tells you to add the sound in TikTok, Reels, or Shorts. MakeViral's Horse dance prompt asks for a wordless electro house beat, and the page says that beat is not the song. DreamFace does not print a song credit on the act page. gangnamstyleai.app, which still prints "Generation coming soon", answers its song question with generated instrumental sound. Use a track the posting app licenses.
Can my dog or cat be the rider?
Yes, on the pet controls that say so. Jump has Your cat or dog, upright in a bow tie, from one daylight photo of the face and body, and it says to add only your own pet. MakeViral's Pet row is 152 credits, 10 seconds, 720p, 9:16, and copies the kitchen-cat clip. The Horse dance prompt also says an animal photo becomes that animal on its hind legs. The dog TikTok and the LOLPETS cat Short are other people's pet clips, not a file from this page.
What is the night-street trio?
Three people take turns at a camera and sing the chorus. It uses the song's name and it is not the reins-and-lasso ride. MakeViral's Solo, Duo, and Trio rows are that reel, at 228 credits, 15 seconds, 720p, 16:9. Retwist's template is 18 seconds, 16:9, from three character photos. aigangnamstyle.com and gangnamstyleai.org describe the same night-street trio on their own pages. For the horse dance, stay on Jump, on MakeViral's Horse dance row, or on DreamFace's GANGNAM STYLE act.
