How to recreate a viral photo or Pinterest pose with yourself

Updated October 21, 2026 · Reviewed by The Rift team

Short answer

Save the photo you like, add it in Rift with a clear photo of yourself, and tell Spark, Rift's video agent, 'me in this, same pose, same light'. Spark recreates the shot with you in it. Change one thing if you like: the outfit, the place, the time of day. Ask for up to four versions, tap Make, and pick your favourite in Library.

Add the photo you like and a clear photo of yourself, and Spark recreates the shot with you in it, in the same pose and light.

Questions people ask

Can I use a photo from Pinterest or Instagram?

Can I change the outfit?
