What's New in Elf Studio®

4.1

October 22, 2026

Elf Studio® 4.1: tap a countdown widget to open its elf, use Enhance with AI on elves made from your photos, see a preview of every style before you pick it, and enjoy the full unfolded display on iPhone Duo. You can also opt in to Christmas news and offers by email; it stays off unless you turn it on. Elf Studio® 4 is our biggest update ever, bringing AI photos and videos alongside a rebuilt AR studio. Here is what you can create: - SCAN YOUR OWN ELF! Save up to four photos of your elf toy with on-device background removal, then add AI character views if you want them. - NO TOY? DRAW OR DESCRIBE ONE! Sketch your elf on the drawing pad or describe it in words, and the AI turns it into an elf you can cast in any scene. - QUICK CREATE OR STUDIO! Pick an elf and a photo, then describe the action, or stage your photo by dragging elves and props into place, choosing poses and adjusting sizes. - AI PHOTOS & VIDEOS! Make photo takes, compare them and animate your favorite. Cast up to three elves with their own roles in the scene. - THE ELF WORKSHOP! Choose ready-made elves in classic and felt styles, or design one in 3D with hair, hats, outfits, gloves, shoes, glasses and colors, with a live preview. - ENHANCE WITH AI! Give your elf a lifelike look or a new style, from Classic Toy and Felt to Plush, Vinyl Doll, Wooden and Knitted, and keep the looks you like. - BRING THE PROPS! Pick from the prop shelf, scan a toy or describe a prop for the AI to create. - STICKERS & POSES! Make AI stickers of your elf striking new poses, then use those poses in your Studio photos. - SEND THEM IN MESSAGES! Open Elf Studio® in the Messages app drawer to send the cast, your own elves and your stickers. - COUNTDOWN WIDGETS! Count the sleeps until Christmas or until your elf arrives, on your Home Screen or Lock Screen. - MAKE THEM AR-READY! Generate a 3D model of a scanned elf or prop before placing it in your room. - FILM IN AUGMENTED REALITY! Place AR-ready elves and props on your floor, draw walking routes, add stops and choose animations, then capture AR photos and videos. AR needs a compatible device. - CATCH THEIR FACES! Record the viewer's reaction as your video plays. Reaction recordings stay on your device. - ADD THE FINISHING TOUCH! Apply video looks and filters, find your creations in the Gallery, save them to Photos and share. Some features need Pro or Elf Extras. Your Gallery is stored on this device with no cloud backup, so export the memories you want to keep.

It is ok

Very confusing to work with.

Best elf app out there

Worth the money completely, one of my favourite apps it’s so festive and interactive

Elf elf elf

You have to pay to get that video so anyone

It’s free but it’s also not

So hi I’m here to tell you about the elf studios game. So my friend sent me videos of like her elf moving, and I was like, that seems fun! It’s basically fun but, it costs money if you want like different walks or skins but I just use Mr.Jingles as my elf’s and you can like make ℹ videos about it, make it skip in circles so yeah it’s fun! But the best part is laughing at the video when you’re done! And you can also send it to your friends if you have the app “ Messages” on your tablet phone or whatever you’re using. So yeah Just wanted to warn you guys that it might cost money. Bye! ✌🏼
