nobody lightsA short story

our bookshopA short story

Three sample stories, made in this app
Each one opens as a project with its script, pictures, clips and voices. Change a line, swap a picture, or keep only the format.
Pictures and clips from Pexels. The narration is an AI voice, made once for these samples.

Script to MP4 in four steps
Write the script
Type or paste it. Each line becomes one scene and one subtitle, and the title sits in the band on top. Pasted a paragraph? Split it at sentence ends.
Add pictures and clips
Photos and short videos from your device, one per line, in order. With fewer pictures than lines, they come round again with a different slow camera move.
Add a voice
A voice reads each line, and each scene lasts as long as its line. AI voices need an account and credits. The sample stories come with theirs.
Save the MP4
1080x1920 H.264 with AAC sound, made on your device. Post it to Shorts, TikTok or Reels.

Subtitles
Four looks, placed at the top, middle or bottom, and timed line by line.

Only photos? That works too.
Without a script, pick a motion preset: a gentle push in and drift, a reveal, a walkthrough and more. Your photos become a short vertical video, and each photo stays as it is: no stretching, no bending.

Questions
Short answers about price, voices, privacy and files.
Is it free?
Yes. Editing and export are free, with no limits and no watermark. AI voices, generated images and AI clips need an account and credits. Accounts are not open yet, so nothing can be bought today.
Do I need a voice?
No. A story works with subtitles alone, and you can add your own music. The sample stories come with their voices.
Which languages can the voice read?
English and Korean. English has six voices to choose from, Korean has one.
Where do my files go?
Nowhere. Scripts, pictures and projects are kept in this browser on this device, and the video is made here too. Clearing the browser's site data deletes them, so export what you want to keep.
Which browsers work?
Chrome is the safest choice, on a computer or an Android phone. Edge works too. On an iPhone or iPad, use Safari on iOS or iPadOS 26 or later; earlier versions cannot save sound. Firefox works, but it saves sound as Opus, which some players cannot play. Browsers inside apps like KakaoTalk or Instagram cannot save the video: open the page in Chrome or Safari instead.
What goes in, and what comes out?
Photos in JPEG, PNG, WebP or AVIF (HEIC where the browser can open it) and short MP4, MOV or WebM videos. Out comes an MP4 (H.264 with AAC sound) at 1080x1920, 1080x1080 or 1920x1080, or at 720p.
What is the AI label?
When a project uses a generated image or an AI clip, the video carries a small "AI-generated" label by default so viewers know. You can turn it off. Your own photos never add it.
Start with one line.
