Before you start
- Slide 1: an opener that states something the AI exaggerated.
- Slides 2 and 3: one confession per slide, naming what just disappeared.
- Slide 4: “I’m so sorry” over your real photo, without explaining the joke.
- Keep it short: the studio caption field allows 180 characters, but under 40 reads best.
The structure: opener, two confessions and the apology
Each caption goes with what that slide shows. The first states something with total confidence; the next two admit one specific edit; the last only apologizes, because the photo tells the rest.
| Slide | Job | Example |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Confident opener | This is how I wake up every day. |
| 2 | First confession | Ok sorry, my hair isn’t like that. |
| 3 | Second confession | And that wasn’t my house either. |
| 4 | Closer over the real photo | I’m so sorry. |
Openers for the first slide
An opener works best when it sounds believable and a little smug. Don’t give the joke away: if you already say it’s AI, there is no reveal.
- This is me. Well, almost.
- My profile picture, no filters.
- A normal Sunday at home.
- My dog, exactly as is.
- Me after practice.
- How I looked in the group photo.
Confessions by photo type
Each confession takes back one change. Name the object or detail that disappears on that slide, not something viewers can’t see.
| Photo type | Slide 2 | Slide 3 |
|---|---|---|
| Selfie | Ok sorry, the makeup was AI. | And the background wasn’t real. |
| Pet | Ok, the chain wasn’t gold. | And the suit wasn’t his either. |
| Sports | The muscles were borrowed. | And the stadium was the park. |
| Everyday | The mansion was my living room. | And the car was a toy. |
Closers for the original photo
The closer is short because the real photo does the work. If you add anything, keep it to one self-deprecating line.
- I’m so sorry.
- I’m so sorry I lied.
- Sorry. This is the real one.
- Perdón.
The same lines in Spanish (Perdón)
In Spanish the trend is the Perdón trend. The structure is the same: the closer becomes “Perdón”.
| English | Spanish |
|---|---|
| This is me. Well, almost. | Así soy yo. Bueno, casi. |
| Ok sorry, my hair isn’t like that. | Vale, el pelo no era así. |
| And that wasn’t my house either. | Y la casa tampoco era mía. |
| I’m so sorry. | Perdón. |
Using them in Perdón Studio
Every template comes with four starting captions that match its edits. You can change them in each slide’s caption field before downloading the MP4 or PNGs. If you switch templates after typing, the studio keeps your captions; press “Use these sample captions” to get the template’s lines back.
Put the story together
One original. Your photo reveal.
Start with one photo and a template, or use existing edits in manual mode. Review the three edits, keep the original last and download a captioned MP4 or PNGs. Export is free; AI generation uses credits.
