Gluely is an AI photo and short video generation app for social media, with the tagline "Your photos, your next video." Users can use a selfie or photo to generate AI photo transformations, fictional prank images, and short video clips suitable for TikTok, Reels, and Shorts.
Purpose: Gluely mainly serves content creators and ordinary users, helping them quickly produce publishable vertical short videos and photo effects.

Main capabilities:
- AI photo transformation: Upload a selfie, choose from 28+ AI character presets, such as influencer, fitness hunk, pastoral style, old money style, etc., to generate realistic AI character images. You can save facial information once and reuse it as a reference in any character, style, or effect, checking similarity in each result.
- AI video effects: Turn photos into cinematic video effects, such as explosions, transitions, elemental abilities, etc.; supports image-to-video animation, adding motion to static images, and you can choose from available video models to view results.

- Built-in video editor: The app has a complete built-in video editor, supporting trimming, rearranging, and duplicating clips on a visual timeline, pinch-to-zoom and independently repositioning each clip; supports per-clip AI regeneration, so if you are not satisfied with a clip you can tap it and regenerate it with a new prompt while keeping the rest unchanged; supports automatic subtitle generation from audio, with classic, boxed, or highlighted styles, and adjustment of phrases and position; supports adding text overlays and animations, such as fade-in, slide-up, or typewriter effects, with customizable font, color, and timing for each overlay.
