The Singer
What do I actually get?
An original song written about the person you choose, performed by animated film style characters made from your photos. You get a private watch page plus an MP4 download (vertical 9:16 for phones). Add square and landscape versions if you want it on a big screen.
Is the song really original?
Yes. Every song is written for your order from the story you give us. No templates, no name swaps. We produce songs and animation with professional creative software, and a real person checks every video before it's sent.
How long can it be?
Four lengths: The Jingle (30 seconds, $30), The Single (60 seconds, $50), The Hit (90 seconds, $75) and The Encore (3 minutes, $99). 60 seconds fits about two verses and a chorus.
Which music styles can I pick?
Pop, rap, country, jive and swing, rock, Motown and soul, R&B, musical theatre, 80s synth pop, Britpop and indie, gospel, acoustic ballad, EDM, reggae, lullaby, opera and big band. Each occasion suggests the styles that suit it best.
Photos + cast
What photos work best?
One clear photo of each face. Any phone photo is fine: good light, face visible, no sunglasses. Group photos work too if you tell us who is who. If a photo won't work we'll ask for another within a few hours.
How many people can be in it?
Up to 6 characters. Two are included in the price, each extra character is $9.
Can I add photos after I order?
Yes. Pick 'Send photos later' and we'll email you an upload link. The clock starts when the photos land.
Can you say their name right?
Add a pronunciation note next to any name, for example 'Siobhan, say shiv AWN', and we'll get it right.
Are my photos safe?
Your photos are only used to make your video. They're stored privately and deleted 90 days after delivery. We never use your photos or video in our marketing without asking first.
Delivery
How fast is it?
Standard is within 72 hours and free. Rush is within 24 hours for $15. Right Now is under 2 hours for $29, for when you forgot, and is sent as the final cut with no preview step. Delivery times start once we have your photos.
How do I get it?
By email. You get a link to a private watch page where you can play it, download it and share it. You can also ask us to send it straight to them on a date you choose.
Can you send it to them on the day?
Yes. At checkout choose 'Send it to them directly', add their email and the date, and we'll deliver it that morning. We'll always email you a copy too.
Orders
Where's my order?
Go to Track your order and enter your order number (it starts SAS) and your email. Or ask our chat, it can look it up for you.
What if I don't love it?
With Standard and Rush you see a private preview first. Approve it, or tap any scene and tell us what to change. We remake just that scene, free, as many times as you like, plus one lyric or name change. Right Now is sent straight to you as the final cut, so there's no preview step, but if we get something wrong (a name, a face, a detail you gave us) we fix it free.
Do I get to see it before it's sent?
Yes, on Standard and Rush. We email you a private preview that only you can see. Once you approve it, we send you the final and, if you chose, send it to them. No reply in 3 days and we take that as a yes. Right Now skips the preview so it lands fast.
Can I change my story after ordering?
Yes, until we start writing. Reply to your confirmation email or email hello@unwrapasong.com with your order number.

Which currencies and payment methods?
We show prices in your local currency in the UK (GBP), Australia (AUD), Canada (CAD) and the US (USD). Everywhere else pays in US dollars and your bank converts it. We take all major cards, Apple Pay and Google Pay through Stripe.
Tributes
Is it OK for a funeral or memorial?
Yes. Our Tribute Singers are gentle, never jokey, and written with care from the life story you share. Many families play them at the service or the wake. If you have a service date, tell us and we'll make sure it's ready in time.
