I Love the Smiths: price, photos, free options and FAQ

By MimicZip Team · Updated:

Short answer

There is nothing to subscribe to, and unspent credits stay in your account. One credit makes one 12-second 720p I Love the Smiths video without a watermark. Packs: 1 for $6.99, 3 for $10.99, 5 for $15.99, each with watch-only previews.

The cost of one clip

One credit builds the entire clip from your pair of photos: the listening, the first line, the second line and the doors opening, 12 seconds from first frame to last. Switching style, stage or light has no effect on the price. Over the three packs a clip costs about $6.99, $3.66 or $3.20.

Having another try

Two faces in a small elevator are hard for a model. If a face or a reflection looks off, swap in sharper photos, one person each, and put the two clips side by side. The credit always covers the entire clip, from the first look to the open doors. Choosing 3 or 5 leaves spare credits, and leftovers work on any template at MimicZip.

Previews, failed runs and how you are billed

  • Watch-only previews: 1 come with $6.99, 3 with $10.99 and 5 with $15.99. They cannot be downloaded, and they are not a free tier.
  • A generation that does not finish gets its credit back without you asking.
  • Packs you have not touched can be refunded for 7 days (refund policy); credits that already made a video cannot.
  • No renewals, now or in the future.

Is there a free I Love the Smiths video generator?

No. MimicZip has no free I Love the Smiths version and no free preview. A finished 12-second 720p clip costs 1 credit and packs start at $6.99; it covers a two-person elevator scene with headphones, two lines and an opening door. Every pack includes watch-only previews, and there is no subscription.

The original trend on TikTok, and what is free there

The trend is a 14-second TikTok by @battos13 from 5 November 2026: two people in an elevator, one with headphones, one turning to speak. You can watch it for nothing on TikTok.

What we sell is a version made from your own photo. Our clip is 12 seconds, a little shorter, and the elevator, the light and the moves are made for you.

What an I Love the Smiths run takes

  • Photos: one sharp photo of each of the two adults, from the waist up or whole body. No children.
  • Free choices: five moods (Crush by default), five elevators (Metal elevator by default) and five outfits (Your own clothes by default).
  • Cost: 1 credit for the 12-second 720p clip, without a watermark. $6.99 buys 1 video, $10.99 buys 3 and $15.99 buys 5.
  • Previews: 1 in the $6.99 pack, 3 in the $10.99 pack and 5 in the $15.99 pack. A preview is the same 5-second scene at 480p, with a PREVIEW badge, and cannot be downloaded.

Why this is a paid tool

Everything around you is generated (the elevator, the light and the moves), and each render uses a paid AI video model, so there is no free version. MimicZip is independent and not made, endorsed or licensed by @battos13.

What photo works for an I Love the Smiths video?

Upload one clear photo of each adult looking at the camera in good light, from the waist up or whole body. The elevator is generated around the two of you, so a plain background is fine. Files must be JPG, PNG or WebP, up to 10 MB, with each side between 300 and 6000 pixels.

File rules

  • JPG, PNG or WebP, up to 10 MB.
  • Each side between 300 and 6000 pixels.
  • Width-to-height ratio between 0.4 and 2.5.

What makes a good photo

  • One subject, alone in the photo, looking at the camera.
  • One person per photo, front-facing: the video needs both faces clearly, so keep each person alone in their file.
  • A clear face, so the model can keep it while one person turns.
  • Good light and a plain background; the model copies your colours.

Who you may upload

Each person must be an adult who agreed to appear; children and celebrities are blocked. See the photo consent rules and the acceptable use policy.

Can I change the mood, the elevator and the outfit in an I Love the Smiths video?

Pick from five moods (Crush by default), five elevators (Metal elevator by default) and five outfits (Your own clothes by default). The camera, the order of the beats and the subject are the same in every option. The options do not change the price.

Relationship

Crush (default), Friends, Couple, Colleagues and Neighbours.

Elevator

Metal elevator (default), Glass elevator, Office, Hotel and Retro 60s.

Outfit

Your own clothes (default), Retro 60s, Formal, Winter and Casual.

What stays fixed

The camera, the order of the beats and the subject are the same in every option. Nothing in the options changes the price.

Questions people ask

Do credits expire?

No. A credit is yours until you spend it.

Will I be charged again automatically?

No. A pack is one payment, and you are never charged again.

Can I get a refund?

Only a pack you have not used, within 7 days. After a credit has made a clip, it is not refundable.

What does a failed video cost?

Nothing is lost: a failed generation gives the credit back on its own.

Do I need a credit card for a free preview?

No. You can look at the options (the mood, the elevator and the outfit) with one photo of each of the two adults before paying; you pay once, at checkout, when you choose a pack.

Can I watch the original for free?

Yes. The original post by @battos13 plays on TikTok, and this page links to it. We only make your own version from your photo.

Is the preview the whole clip?

Close. A preview shows the same 5-second scene at 480p instead of 720p, so you can check your photo first. It carries a badge and cannot be downloaded.

Can I use a photo of the person in the original post?

No. Photos of celebrities or famous characters are blocked, and so is anyone who looks like a child. Use yourself and a friend, a crush or a partner who agreed.

Do both people need to be in the same photo?

No. Use one photo for each person. The elevator is generated, so any plain background works.

How long is my photo kept?

It is stored privately and deleted automatically 14 days after upload.

Do the options cost more?

No. The price is the same for every option.

Are the options tested?

The defaults are the ones the scene was written around; the others have not been run on their own yet.

Can I type my own option?

No. This template has presets only, with no free-text prompt.
