Know Your Meme credits Instagram creator Aleksandr Kim (@merkurianin), with an original post dated 25 September 2026. The trend’s creator is not affiliated with this website.
What does the clapping cat meme mean?
It usually conveys sarcastic approval: applause for a questionable decision, a tiny achievement, or a moment when everyone should stay quiet. Add your own caption after downloading the video.
What can I create right now?
Black Cat Clapping is our current template. It animates a pet photo with a clapping gesture and generated audio. Other effects are not available yet.
Which photo works best?
Use one clear, well-lit pet photo with the face and upper body visible. JPEG, PNG and WebP files up to 10 MB are supported. Busy backgrounds and hidden paws can make the result less consistent.
How long does it take, and what do I get?
Generation can take a few minutes, depending on the queue. You get a 7-second, 9:16 vertical MP4 with generated audio, in 480p or 720p. AI results vary with your photo.
Does generation cost credits?
Yes. Sign-in and purchased credits are required: 50 credits for 480p or 100 for 720p. There is no free generation preview. Credits are returned automatically if generation fails.
Is the reference clip my generated video?
No. The reference illustrates the original meme. Your result is a newly generated video based on your pet photo. Credit the original creator when discussing the meme; this tool does not grant rights to third-party clips or music.
