MADE WITH THIS TOOL
Five toc toc AI examples: people and pets
All five clips were made with the same pipeline this site will use: one AI-generated photo of a fictional adult or pet, plus our own reference dance. No original song, no creator footage, no real people.
THREE STEPS
How to make your toc toc AI video
- 01
Choose a full-body photo
One person or one pet, head to toe in frame, facing the camera. JPG, PNG or WebP up to 10 MB. The face, hair and outfit, or the fur, in the photo is what dances.
- 02
Pick Person or Pet, then press the button
Person is selected by default. Press Make my toc toc video. Today that opens an email form, because generation is not open yet; when it opens, this is where you pay $4.99 for one video.
- 03
Download the silent clip and add the sound
The result is a 10-second 9:16 MP4 with no audio track: your dancer hops, knocks and kicks in a hallway by a white door. Download it, open the app you post from, and add the toc toc sound there.
GOOD TO KNOW
What is the toc toc dance?
The toc toc dance is a short, deadpan routine set to Patrick Sébastien's French party song “Toc Toc”. It spread on TikTok in autumn 2026, first as AI-made characters in wigs and vintage suits, then as real people, families and pets copying the moves. Searches for “toc toc dance” and “toc toc trend” jumped in the second week of October 2026, which is why this site exists.
The moves: hop, knock, kick, ta-da
On the beat the dancer hops on one foot with the other knee raised, knocks on an invisible door with a fist, kicks a leg out toward the camera, and finishes with the arms thrown wide. Our reference clip, which every video on this site follows, has those four moves in that order across 10 seconds, in a hallway with a white door.
Jean Phil, Kicékéla and the other names
You will also see the routine called the Jean Phil dance, after an AI character who popularised it, the Kicékéla dance, or simply the toc toc trend. They all mean the same moves; the only real difference between versions is who is dancing and where. This site puts one person or one pet in the hallway and leaves the song out, so the clip is yours to post with whichever sound you choose.
FROM OUR TEST RENDERS
Which photos work best for a toc toc AI video
Head to toe, one subject, facing the camera
All five test photos were full-length and front-on, and all five renders kept the face, hair, outfit or fur. The dance is all legs, so the model needs to see them.
Pets stand up for it
The corgi was rendered hopping on its hind legs and kept its coat markings. The orange cat followed the same moves as the people but came out closer to the camera and bigger than the reference dancer, with a very wide final pose.
Check the hands, feet and last frame
In the corgi clip the body stretches for one frame during the kick, around the ninth second. Watch the hands, the landing feet and the final pose before you post.

QUESTIONS
Toc toc AI questions
What does “toc toc” mean?
“Toc toc” is the French way of writing a knock on a door, like “knock knock” in English. The dance takes its name from Patrick Sébastien's party song “Toc Toc”, and the fist-knocking move in the routine acts the title out.
Are the toc toc dance, the Jean Phil dance and Kicékéla the same thing?
Yes. They are different names for the same routine: Jean Phil is the AI character many of the early clips used, Kicékéla is another nickname for the dance, and toc toc is the song. This site makes the routine with your own photo, in a hallway by a door, with no character costume.
Is there an age requirement for a toc toc AI video?
Yes. Use only a photo of yourself, of another adult who has agreed, or of your own pet. The terms do not allow photos of children, public figures or anyone who has not given permission.
Will my video have the original song?
No. Every download is silent. You add the toc toc sound yourself in the app you post from, so you can pick whichever version of the sound is available to you there.
What photo should I upload?
One full-body photo of one person or one pet, facing the camera, with the whole body from head to feet in the frame, as a JPG, PNG or WebP up to 10 MB. The face, hair and outfit, or the fur and markings, in the photo are what you get in the video.
How long does a toc toc AI video take?
Our five test renders took between 7 and 11 minutes each; expect 10 to 25 minutes. Keep the page open while it renders. If you close it, sign in again and the finished clip is waiting under the same account.
Do I need an account?
A sign-in, not a form: continue with Google, or type your email and enter the 6-digit code we send. That is how the video is saved to you and how a credit is charged only once. Nothing else is asked.
What if the dance looks wrong?
In five out of five test renders the hops, knocks and kicks matched our reference clip and the face, hair, outfit or fur stayed consistent. The glitches we did see were small: a one-frame stretch during the corgi's kick and an oversized final pose for the cat. Look at the hands, the feet and the last frame before you post.
