In short: what is Birthday Hero?
Birthday Hero by Vocla makes a personalized birthday cartoon video starring your child. You upload 1–3 photos, pick one of six original adventures and type their name, age and what they love; Vocla’s AI turns your child into a 3D cartoon hero who looks like them, in a 30-second to 3-minute movie narrated in Saudi, Emirati, Kuwaiti, Egyptian, Jordanian, Lebanese or Moroccan Arabic, Fusha (Modern Standard Arabic) or English, ending with a cake with their age in candles and a happy birthday by name. The preview (the hero and a talking storyboard) is free and takes about 2 minutes; the movie is paid with credits, exactly 20,000 credits for 45 seconds (the $10 pack), with the other lengths priced per second, on every plan including Free. Photos are used only to draw the hero, never made public or used for training, and deleted automatically after 30 days.

Questions parents ask
Is the birthday cartoon video free?
The preview is free: Vocla draws your child as a cartoon hero and shows a talking storyboard of the story without any payment. The movie itself is paid with credits: about 14,600 credits for 30 seconds, exactly 20,000 for 45 seconds, about 26,700 for 60 seconds, 48,800 for 2 minutes and 69,000 for 3 minutes (each length plus a 10-second narrator intro).

How long does it take to make?
The free preview (the hero and the talking storyboard) is ready in about 2 minutes. Once you decide to make the movie, it is ready in minutes, so you can download and share it the same day.
Which photos work best to turn my child into a cartoon?
Upload 1 to 3 photos where your child’s face is clear and looking at the camera, in good natural light, with your child alone and close up, and no sunglasses, mask or hat covering the face. If the photos aren’t enough to draw the hero, Vocla asks for a clearer one.
Is my child’s photo safe?
Yes. You confirm you are the child’s parent or guardian or have their permission; the photos are used only to draw the hero, are never made public or shown to anyone, are never used to train AI, and are deleted automatically after 30 days.
Can I share the video on WhatsApp?
Yes. You download the movie as a video file and share it on WhatsApp or Stories, or play it on the TV. Choose vertical for phones or horizontal for the big screen. There is no watermark; the closing card carries a small “Made with Vocla” line.
Which dialects can the narrator speak?
Nine choices: Saudi, Emirati, Kuwaiti, Egyptian, Jordanian, Lebanese and Moroccan Arabic, Fusha (Modern Standard Arabic), or English. The closing happy birthday uses your child’s name.
Can grandparents or relatives gift it?
Yes, with the parents’ permission: whoever uploads the photos confirms they are the child’s parent or guardian or have their permission to use them. They make the movie in their own account and send it to the family on WhatsApp.
What if I don’t like the preview?
The preview is free, so you pay nothing if it isn’t right. You can redraw the hero from the same photos, or start again with clearer photos or another adventure; credits are only used when you make the movie.
