Short answer: open the Window Peeper AI studio, upload one clear photo of a face, and press Generate. TrendSwap puts that person behind a lit apartment window at night, eating a takeaway burger and staring straight out at the camera, then pulling the curtain shut. You get a 14-second vertical MP4 with the trend sound on it. No CapCut template, no editing.
What the window peeper filter is
The window peeper filter is a CapCut Pioneer AI effect. The camera pushes in on a lit window at night, and the person inside sits at a table eating a burger while staring out at you. Early posts used a Mr Bean–style figure; remixes put in TV presenters, footballers and friends. People also search for it as the CapCut AI peeper filter, the AI peeping window effect or the McDonald's window peeper filter.
What you upload and what you get
| You provide | You receive |
|---|---|
| 1 clear, front-facing photo of one person, waist up | A 14-second MP4, 9:16 vertical |
| Your choice of resolution: 480p, 720p or 1080p | A night push-in on a lit window: you eat a burger, stare out, then pull the curtain shut |
| Nothing else: no prompt, no reference video, no editing | Audio already mixed into the file, no watermark |
What happens in the video
- The push-in (0s–2s): A night shot of the apartment block slowly moves in on one lit window.
- The bite (2s–6s): Your subject takes a big bite of a burger, eyes fixed on the camera.
- The stare (6s–12s): They keep chewing and staring, completely deadpan.
- The curtain (12s–14s): They notice they are being watched, stand up and pull the curtain shut.
Choosing the right photo
- Face: one person, face fully visible and in focus. With two people in one photo the AI may merge them.
- Angle: front-facing or a slight angle. No sunglasses, masks or hands over the face.
- Light: even light. Avoid strong backlight or dark shadows across the face.
How to make it in 3 steps

FAQ
Is this the CapCut template?
No. It recreates the same scene from a photo, so you do not need CapCut or the Pioneer template.
Can I put a friend in the window?
Yes, if you have their permission to use the photo. One person per photo works best.
Is Window Peeper AI for one person or two?
One. Upload 1 clear, front-facing photo with a single person in frame. Group photos are not supported.
Can I use a photo of my pet?
This template is built around a human performer, so we recommend a photo of a person. Pet photos are not supported for this scene; templates such as Flying Tesla Roadster, Baby Knight and Spooky Scary Skeletons are made for pets.
Does the exported video include the original sound?
Yes. The audio is already mixed into the downloaded MP4, so you do not need to add the soundtrack in an editor.
How long is the video and what resolution do I get?
Every video from this template is 14 seconds, 9:16 vertical, as a watermark-free MP4. Choose 480p (25 credits), 720p (50 credits) or 1080p (100 credits). The Single Pass covers up to 720p; the Trio Pass or Party Pass unlocks 1080p.
What happens to my credits if the video fails?
If a generation fails, times out or is blocked by a safety check, the credits for that job return to your balance automatically (25, 50 or 100 by resolution). The video page shows the job status and whether the credits were returned.
What if I'm not happy with the result?
Credits come back automatically only when a generation fails; a completed video uses its credits. Results depend on photo clarity and lighting, so a sharp, front-facing, well-lit photo works best, and the studio shows a free framing preview before you spend credits. If a finished video has a serious technical problem, such as a broken file or missing audio, email support@trendswap.app with the video reference. Duplicate charges and purchases that never reached your account are handled under our refund policy.
How long are my photos and videos kept, and how do I delete them?
Your uploaded photo and finished videos stay in your account until you delete them; nothing expires automatically. Delete a video in My videos (/videos): this permanently removes the video file and the photo it was made from. You can remove an unused photo in the studio. To erase your whole account, email support@trendswap.app with the subject "Privacy Request". We do not use your photos or videos to train public AI models.
Photos and permissions
Use photos you have the right to use. A pack pays for creating the video; it does not grant rights to the original clips. TrendSwap is independent and is not affiliated with CapCut, McDonald's or the creators of the original window peeper videos.
