Terms of Use

Last updated 31 October 2026.

Try a Trend (tryatrend.com) is operated by Chenhao Huang (ABN 76 628 118 781), a sole trader based in Victoria, Australia (“we”, “us”). These terms apply whenever you use the site or buy credits. Please read them together with our Privacy Policy. If you don't agree with them, please don't use the site.

Who can use Try a Trend

You must be 18 or older to use the site or buy credits or gifts. By using it, you confirm that you are.

What you can upload

• Only photos of yourself, or of people who gave you clear permission to make this video.
• Everyone pictured must be 18 or older, except on the family and holiday trends that accept photos of children (see below).
• No celebrities, public figures, or anyone you intend to impersonate, harass or mislead.
• No nudity, sexual content, violence or hateful content.

Some family and holiday trends accept photos that include children. The trend's page says so, and asks you to confirm you are the child's parent or legal guardian. On those trends only:

• You must be the parent or legal guardian of every child under 18 in the photo, and every adult pictured must have agreed.
• Everyone pictured must be fully dressed in everyday clothes. We don't accept photos of a child together with swimwear, underwear, bare chests or revealing clothes, even if the photo itself is innocent.
• The video is for you and your family to enjoy. Don't use it to embarrass, mislead or harm the child.
• Photos, previews and videos are deleted automatically within 72 hours, like all others, and are never used to train AI.

On every other trend, everyone pictured must be 18 or older.

Pet trends have their own rules:

• Only photos of your own pet, or photos you have permission to use.
• The photo should show just the animal, with no people in it.
• No photos of an animal being hurt, mistreated or put in danger, and no nudity, sexual content, violence or hateful content.

Vehicle trends (your car, bike or anything on wheels) have their own rules:

• Only photos of your own vehicle, or photos you have permission to use.
• If anyone appears in the photo, they must be 18 or older and have agreed to it.
• No nudity, sexual content, violence or hateful content.

Some trends let you upload your own background photo:

• Only photos you took yourself or have the right to use.
• It should show a place, with no people in it, and no signs, text or logos.
• No nudity, sexual content, violence or hateful content.
• It is used only to make your preview and video, and deleted automatically within 72 hours, like your other photos.

You must have the right to use every photo you upload. We check each photo automatically and may reject photos that break these rules. If a photo is rejected after you spent a credit, or a video fails, the credit is returned.

Permission to use your photos

You keep all rights in your photos. You give us permission to use them only to run the safety check and to make the preview and video you asked for, including sending them to our AI providers for those steps. This permission ends when the photo is deleted, which happens automatically within 72 hours.

Acceptable use

You agree not to use Try a Trend to:

• deceive people about who is in a video, or present a video as real footage of an event that didn't happen;
• harass, bully, threaten or embarrass anyone, or make content that is sexual, violent, hateful or otherwise unlawful;
• make content that shows cruelty to animals;
• make videos of anyone under 18, except on a trend that accepts photos of children, with a photo of a child you are the parent or legal guardian of;
• make anything that sexualizes, endangers or makes fun of a child;
• get around our safety checks, free preview limits or payment, or use bots, scripts or scraping;
• resell credits or offer video making to others as a service.

Your videos

Videos are made by AI. They may not look exactly like the people or pets in your photos and may contain mistakes. You are responsible for how you share them. Please turn on the AI-generated content label when you post. You may use your videos for personal use and on social media. We don't claim ownership of them and we never post them anywhere. Videos don't include music; add a sound in the app you post on.

Trend names describe popular video formats. Try a Trend is an independent tool and is not affiliated with TikTok, Instagram or the creators of the original videos.

Keeping your videos

Your video is available in the browser where you made it, or in a browser where you restore your credits with your purchase email. To protect your privacy, we delete each video 72 hours after it's made. Download it if you want to keep it.

Credits and payments

• Credits are a one-time purchase in US dollars. There is no subscription. One credit makes one video.
• Prices include any sales tax, VAT or GST that applies to you.
• Videos are sold one at a time. A new customer's first video is $4.99, one per customer. Returning customers pay $5.99 per video. We go by the purchase records of your browser: once it has made a purchase, or had credits restored to it with a purchase email, it counts as a returning customer.
• You can buy up to 5 videos in one order. The first is at your price above, and each extra video is $5.99. You can use them on any trends, for you or your friends.
• Some trends have their own price per video, shown on the trend page and at checkout. On those trends that price applies to everyone, new or returning, and to every video in the order. Credits bought there work on any trend, like all credits.
• Each video comes with an HD poster photo of the same scene. The photo is deleted together with the video.
• Payments are processed securely by Stripe. Your purchase may be sold by Link (a Stripe company) as reseller, in which case Link's terms also apply to the payment. We never see your full card number.
• Credits are saved in the browser you bought them in. If you change device or clear your browser, you can restore them with your purchase email.
• Credits don't expire. If we ever close Try a Trend, we will refund unused credits and unopened gifts.

Gifts

• You can buy videos as a gift for someone else. We email the gift on the date you choose, or give you a link and code to send yourself. The person who opens it uploads their own photo, sees a free preview and makes the video.
• Gifts are $5.99 per video, including any tax, up to 5 videos per gift. The first-video price doesn't apply to gifts, and buying a gift doesn't change your own first-video price. Opening a gift doesn't count as a purchase either.
• A gift has no cash value. It can't be exchanged for money or resold.
• Gifts don't expire.
• Anyone with the gift link or code can open it, and can use the part of the gift that hasn't been used yet. Once opened, the videos are saved as credits in that browser; opening the same link in another browser moves the unused videos there. Keep the link to yourself, and only give it to the person it's for.
• You must have permission to give us the recipient's email address. We email them only about the gift. The person who makes the video must follow these terms, including the photo rules and the age requirement.
• We may cancel a gift that was bought with a card that wasn't the buyer's, or whose payment was refunded or disputed. To limit fraud, each browser can buy up to 3 gifts a day and each person can receive up to 3 gifts a day.

Refunds

• If a video fails, the credit is returned automatically.
• If you're not happy with a video, you can redo it once for free from its video page. We make a new version from the same photos and choices. This works while your photos are still kept (72 hours), once per video, and a redo can't be redone again. If the redo fails, the credit is returned once.
• Unused credits can be refunded to your original payment method within 14 days of purchase. Email [email protected] from the address on your receipt.
• A gift that hasn't been opened can be refunded to the buyer's original payment method up to 14 days after its delivery date (for gifts you send yourself, the purchase date). Once a gift is opened, it can't be refunded to the buyer; if a video made with it fails, the credit returns to the person who opened it.
• If something else goes wrong with a video, contact us and we will make it right.

Nothing in these terms excludes, restricts or changes any right or remedy you have under the Australian Consumer Law, or under other consumer laws that apply to you and can't be excluded.

Free previews

Free previews are limited per person and per day across the whole site. We may change these limits or pause free previews at any time.

Takedown requests

If you believe a video uses your likeness without permission, email [email protected]. We respond within 48 hours.

Suspending access

We may refuse a photo, stop a video or block a browser that breaks these terms. If we do, we will refund unused credits unless they were bought fraudulently or used to break these terms.

Our content

The site's design, text and sample videos (made with fictional people and pets) belong to us. Please don't copy them. Other names and trademarks belong to their owners.

Changes to the service

Trends come and go. We may add, change or remove trends and features, and we may pause the service for maintenance. Your credits work with any trend that is available.

Liability

To the extent the law allows, Try a Trend is provided “as is”, and we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, or for how other people use videos you share. Where the law allows us to limit our liability, it is limited to resupplying the service or refunding what you paid us in the 12 months before the claim. This section does not limit the rights described under Refunds.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms. The date at the top shows when they last changed. Changes don't apply to credits you already bought if they would leave you worse off; you can ask for a refund of those credits instead.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of Victoria, Australia, and the courts of Victoria have jurisdiction. If you live elsewhere, you may also have rights under the consumer laws of your country.
