Create the Explosion effect with AI straight from the browser — a copy-ready prompt, no editing software. Apply the effect to a photo or to a scene generated from text.
The Explosion effect 💥 is one of those that stops the scroll. On Viralio you get it with no complicated software — start from a photo or from text and describe the effect in the prompt.
The best results come on Veo 3 (cinematic + audio) and Seedream (smooth vertical), using image-to-video to apply the effect to your own image.

Tips for better results
Start from a good image (image-to-video) — the sharper the starting photo, the cleaner the effect.
Add "slow motion" for impact: effects read far better slowed down.
Specify the format (9:16 for social) and keep the subject centred.
Generate 2-3 variants and pick the one where the effect reads most clearly.
Pair it with the right sound (native audio on Veo 3) or add an SFX in editing for extra impact.
Where to use the Explosion effect
Spectacular visual effects have exactly one strategic job: they stop the scroll. Use Explosion in the first 2 seconds of a clip as a hook, in a product reveal, in a transition between scenes, or as a moment of impact in a longer edit. Do not overdo it — one well-placed effect beats ten crammed in.
Key takeaways
Explosion is done with image-to-video plus an effect prompt, no editing software needed.
Best results: Veo 3 (cinematic + audio) or Seedream (smooth vertical).
Use it as a hook in the first 2 seconds or as a reveal — one well-placed effect is enough.
