How to Turn Any Normal Video into a Realistic Snowfall Video for Free

Hello everyone! I hope you’re all doing great. In today’s tutorial, I’m going to show you how you can transform any normal video into a stunning snowfall video — completely free. These kinds of snowfall edits are currently going viral on Instagram Reels and TikTok, so make sure you watch this guide till the end.

I’ll explain the entire process step by step so you can create unlimited snowfall videos without any paid software. Let’s get started!

Step 1: Install the “Edits” App from Play Store

To convert your normal video into a snowfall video, first open your Google Play Store. Tap on the search bar and type “Edits”. The first app that appears (used widely for Instagram video edits) is the one you need to install. Once installed, open it.

After opening the app, you’ll see a simple interface. Tap on the ‘+’ icon and select Gallery. You can now import any video from your phone. For example, I selected one of my normal road videos to demonstrate.

Step 2: Split the Video into 10-Second Segments

Once your video is imported, you’ll notice it’s just a normal clip — no effects yet. To add the snowfall effect properly, you’ll need to split your video into 10-second parts. This is because the “Restyle” feature only works on clips that are 10 seconds or shorter.

If your video is 20 seconds long, simply divide it into two parts of 10 seconds each. Just click on your video, go to ‘Split’, and adjust it accordingly.

Step 3: Add the Snowfall Effect

After splitting, tap on the first 10-second clip and go to the ‘Restyle’ option. You’ll find various styles there, such as Ice, Autumn, Clouds, Cartoon, and more. To create the snowfall effect, scroll down and choose the ‘Snow’ option.

Click Restyle, and the app will automatically start converting your clip into a snowy winter video. Within a minute, the process will finish, and you’ll notice how realistic it looks — the snow falls naturally, and even the lighting adjusts as if you were actually filming in a cold snowy place.

It’s amazing how real it appears — from shadows to skin tone adjustments, everything looks natural. You can even try out other effects like:

• Cartoon Mode – turns your video into a fun anime-style clip.
• Autumn Mode – gives a warm fall season look.
• Underwater Mode – makes your clip look submerged in water.
• Fire Effect – adds a fiery background effect.

Each of these effects is available under the “Restyle” menu. Feel free to experiment!

Step 4: Add Snowfall Stickers for a More Realistic Look

Even though your background will now look snowy, you can make it more dynamic by adding moving snow particles. To do this, go to the Stickers option (found at the bottom of the screen), and search for “Snowfall”. You’ll find many animated snowfall stickers.

Choose one that looks soft and realistic — I recommend using a light snow overlay. Expand it to cover the full video frame and stretch it till the end of your video. Once done, play the clip again and notice how beautifully the snowflakes fall, creating a perfect winter vibe!

Step 5: Export Your Final Video

Once your edit is complete, check the video quality. You’ll notice it remains high-resolution, and the snowfall effect blends perfectly. Now tap on the ‘Export’ button to render your video.

After rendering, click on the ‘Download’ option so that the video saves directly to your phone gallery. And that’s it! You’ve successfully created a viral-style snowfall video for Instagram Reels or TikTok.

Bonus Tip: Add Trending Sounds

To make your snowfall reel even more engaging, try adding popular or emotional sounds. For instance, one trending audio on Instagram goes like: “Kuch paise bacha ke ghoomne nikal jaaya karo, koi na nikle toh akela nikal jaaya karo.” — which means, “Save some money and go travel; even if no one joins you, go alone.”

Such sounds pair perfectly with snowfall visuals. You can find these trending audios directly from the Instagram Reels Audio Library.
